SUMMER 2008 SCHEDULE / FALL 2008 SCHEDULE

Degree: This program provides the opportunity for sworn officers -- police, sheriff and corrections departments from the surrounding communities to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia, PA. Officers must be currently employed by a federal, state or local governmental agency in order to attend courses at the Philadelphia Police Academy, Lower Merion Police Station and/or the Phoenixville Police Station.

Requirements: Fulfill the undergraduate curriculum in Criminal Justice totaling 120 credits (40 courses) as described in the current SJU University College Catalog. Students need to take at least thirty credits (ten courses) including four upper division courses required for the major from SJU.

Transfer: Up to 75 credits from an accredited college or university as long as the grade in each course to be transferred is at least "C" and fulfills a requirement of the program. This can include credits awarded to attendees of POLEX and similar programs. SJU awards twelve credits to students who have graduated from Basic Police Training Programs and three credits to students who have successfully completed their Correctional Academy courses. We will work with you to identify other ways which you may be able to earn academic credit through ELAP, CLEP and Challenge exams.

Scheduling: Courses will run two evenings per week for six weeks. One course will be offered during each six-week module. Two modules are offered during the Fall, Spring and Summer Sessions. Our scheduling method provides step-in, step-out flexibility enabling students to set their own pace.

Location: Most of the courses will be taught at the off-campus sites, however, some may be taught at our main campus due to logistical issues such as faculty requirements and the need for computers.

Faculty: Courses will be taught by full time professors and adjunct instructors, many of whom are criminal justice practitioners.

Tuition: Based on current rates, the tuition will be $314.25 per credit hour, representing a 25% reduction from the full rate of $419. Tuition for a three-credit course will be $942.75. The application fee of $20 is waived.
