"description": "<p>The program is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of crime and society's control mechanisms, as well as to prepare them for professional careers in criminal justice and related agencies. As a multidisciplinary field of study, criminal justice incorporates the substance and perspectives across the social sciences. The core requirements of the program expose students to all components (police, courts, corrections) of the criminal justice system where they will learn how these components interact with each other and the community to create the justice system experienced in the U.S. A wide variety of elective courses allow students to tailor the degree program to meet their interests. The department emphasizes experiential learning through both undergraduate research with faculty members and a strong internship program with over 100 community partners. Internship opportunities are available with public and private organizations across Central Florida.</p><h2>Degree Requirements</h2><ul> <li>Students who change degree programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog.</li> <li>Students should complete the General Education Program before transferring within the Florida College System or State University System.</li> <li>The courses designated in section 1 below may be taken at a Florida College System institution, and should usually be completed in the first 60 hours.</li> <li>Students must complete three (3) Criminal Justice graduate courses (5XXX), each with a grade of \"B\" (3.0) or better for a total of nine (9) credit hours; courses are selected under the direction of an advisor.</li> <li>Students must earn a grade of \"C\" (2.0) or better in each core course, and have an average overall GPA of 2.0 or better in courses used toward the restricted electives.</li> </ul><h2>Degree Requirements</h2><h3>Core Requirements: Advanced Level</h3> 30 Total Credits <ul><li>Complete all of the following<ul><li>See \"Common Prerequisites\" in the Transfer and Transitions Services section for more information.</li><li>Complete the following: <ul><li>CJE3001 - Careers in Criminal Justice (3)</li><li>CCJ3014 - Crime in America (3)</li><li>CCJ3024 - Criminal Justice System (3)</li><li>CCJ4701 - Research Methods in Criminal Justice (3)</li><li>CJL3510 - Prosecution and Adjudication (3)</li><li>CJC3010 - Corrections and Penology (3)</li><li>CJE4014 - Police and Society (3)</li><li>CCJ4678 - Race, Ethnicity, Equity, and (In)justice (3)</li><li>CCJ4746 - Data Analysis for Criminal Justice (3)</li><li>CCJ4054 - Capstone: Criminal Justice Ethics (3)</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><h3>Restricted Electives</h3> 30 Total Credits <ul><li>Complete all of the following<ul><li>Earn at least 9 credits from the following types of courses: Scholars' Track - Students must complete three (3) Criminal Justice graduate courses (5XXX), each with a grade of \"B\" (3.0) or better for a total of nine (9) credit hours; courses are selected under the direction of an advisor.</li><li>Earn at least 12 credits from the following types of courses: 12 additional semester hours of upper division criminal justice (CCJ, CJC, CJE, CJJ, CJL, CJT, DSC or SCC) undergraduate course work.

The following information is to help you make the best decision related to your academic and professional aspirations.</p><p><strong><em>Pre-licensure Track</em></strong></p><p><strong>Can you provide an overview of the Pre-licensure Track? </strong></p><p>This track has been offered for decades. As mentioned in our catalogue description, the primary goal of this track is to train students to become licensed, master’s-level clinicians. More specifically, graduates of this track are eligible to become Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) in the State of Florida, and they will likely be eligible for master’s level licensure in most other states. This track includes a full course load (9-12 credits per semester) for two years. Students in this track complete a practicum (10 hours/week for one semester during the first year of the program) and internship (20 hours/week in the fall, spring, and summer semesters in the second year in the program). A majority of the graduates of this program enter clinical practice and obtain licensure at the master’s level. We usually admit 10 to 14 students into this track each fall term.</p><p><strong><br/>How do I get licensed? </strong></p><p>Students in the Pre-licensure track meet the eligibility criteria for licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Florida. Please note that more details about eligibility criteria can be found on the Florida Department of Health website. In addition, our students are also eligible for similar licensure in most other states; however, we are unable to confirm the licensure and certification requirements of other states. Consequently, if you intend to pursue such credentialing outside of Florida, we advise you to contact the applicable state credentialing authority to familiarize yourself with its specific requirements and determine if our program meets its eligibility criteria.</p><p><strong>Can I get into a doctoral program if I complete the Pre-licensure track? </strong></p><p>Yes! As mentioned above, most students in the Pre-licensure track practice at the master’s level upon graduation. Having said that, each year we have a number of graduating students who apply to and get into Ph.D. or Psy.D. programs. Engagement in research may increase students’ competitiveness when applying to doctoral programs.</p><p><br/><strong>Can I do research if I am in the Pre-licensure track?</strong></p><p>Yes. Research is not required as part of this track; however, students in the Pre-licensure track are often engaged in collaborative research with faculty. It is common for students in this track to present research at scientific conferences, and some of these students become coauthors of peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals.</p><p><strong><em>Research/Thesis Track </em></strong></p><p><b>Can you provide an overview of the Research/Thesis track?</b></p><p>The faculty developed this track for students who are interested in focusing on research and/or are interested in gaining entry into a research-focused doctoral program. This track is a great fit for students who are not particularly interested in clinical practice at the master’s level upon graduation. In addition to an empirical thesis, we encourage students in this track to engage in other research projects. Students in the Research/Thesis track have a reduced course load relative to the Pre-licensure track, which allows more time for engagement in research. The tradeoff is that students in this track will not be eligible for licensure at the master’s level when they graduate. We typically admit no more than 4 to 6 students into the thesis track per year.</p><p><b>Is it possible to get clinical experience in the Research/Thesis track?</b></p><p>Yes. It is possible for students in the Research/Thesis track to choose to do a practicum. This experience would be approximately 10 hours/week during one semester.</p><p><b>Am I guaranteed admission into a Ph.D. program if I am in the Research/Thesis track?</b></p><p>No. The program has the potential to increase a student’s competitiveness when applying to research-focused doctoral programs; however, we cannot guarantee admission into a doctoral program.</p>",

"description": "<p>At times, we have prospects who are uncertain as to which is the best track for them: Pre-Licensure or Research Thesis Track. The following information is to help you make the best decision related to your academic and professional aspirations.</p> <br /> <p><strong><u>Pre-licensure Track</u></strong></p> <br /> <p><strong>Can you provide an overview of the Pre-licensure Track? </strong></p> <p>This track has been offered for decades. As mentioned in our catalogue description, the primary goal of this track is to train students to become licensed, master’s-level clinicians. More specifically, graduates of this track are eligible to become Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) in the State of Florida, and they will likely be eligible for master’s level licensure in most other states. This track includes a full course load (9-12 credits per semester) for two years. Students in this track complete a practicum (10 hours/week for one semester during the first year of the program) and internship (20 hours/week in the fall, spring, and summer semesters in the second year in the program). A majority of the graduates of this program enter clinical practice and obtain licensure at the master’s level. We usually admit 10 to 14 students into this track each fall term.</p> <p><strong><br />How do I get licensed? </strong></p> <p>Students in the Pre-licensure track meet the eligibility criteria for licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Florida. Please note that more details about eligibility criteria can be found on the <a href=\"http://floridasmentalhealthprofessions.gov/licensing/licensed-mental-health-counselor/\">Florida Department of Health website.</a> In addition, our students are also eligible for similar licensure in most other states; however, we are unable to confirm the licensure and certification requirements of other states. Consequently, if you intend to pursue such credentialing outside of Florida, we advise you to contact the applicable state credentialing authority to familiarize yourself with its specific requirements and determine if our program meets its eligibility criteria.</p> <br /> <p><strong>Can I get into a doctoral program if I complete the Pre-licensure track? </strong></p> <p>Yes! As mentioned above, most students in the Pre-licensure track practice at the master’s level upon graduation. Having said that, each year we have a number of graduating students who apply to and get into Ph.D. or Psy.D. programs. Engagement in research may increase students’ competitiveness when applying to doctoral programs.</p> <p><br /><strong>Can I do research if I am in the Pre-licensure track?</strong></p> <p>Yes. Research is not required as part of this track; however, students in the Pre-licensure track are often engaged in collaborative research with faculty. It is common for students in this track to present research at scientific conferences, and some of these students become coauthors of peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals.</p> <br /> <p><strong><u>Research/Thesis Track </u></strong></p> <br /> <p><b><span style=\"color: #111111;\">Can you provide an overview of the Research/Thesis <span style=\"letter-spacing: -.1pt;\">track?</span></span></b></p> <p>The faculty developed this track for students who are interested in focusing on research and/or are interested in gaining entry into a research-focused doctoral program. This track is a great fit for students who are not particularly interested in clinical practice at the master’s level upon graduation. In addition to an empirical thesis, we encourage students in this track to engage in other research projects. Students in the Research/Thesis track have a reduced course load relative to the Pre-licensure track, which allows more time for engagement in research. The tradeoff is that students in this track will not be eligible for licensure at the master’s level when they graduate. We typically admit no more than 4 to 6 students into the thesis track per year.</p> <br /> <p><b>Is it possible to get clinical experience in the Research/Thesis track?</b><b> </b></p> <p>Yes. It is possible for students in the Research/Thesis track to choose to do a practicum. This experience would be approximately 10 hours/week during one semester.</p> <br /> <br /> <p><b>Am I guaranteed admission into a Ph.D. program if I am in the Research/Thesis track?</b><strong> </strong></p> <p>No. The program has the potential to increase a student’s competitiveness when applying to research-focused doctoral programs; however, we cannot guarantee admission into a doctoral program.</p>",

The program will only allow students to complete up to 24 hours of dissertation coursework in XXX 7980. The College of Engineering and Computer Science requires that all dissertation defense announcements are approved by the student's adviser and posted on the college's website at least two weeks before the defense date. </li></ul><h3>Qualifying Review</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The Qualifying Review relies on annual appraisals of the student's progress conducted by the student's research/academic adviser and advisory committee, once formed. The student's appraisal template that the adviser completes will assess the student's academic performance (course performance) and research performance. On an annual basis, and based on the completed PhD Student Annual Review template, as well as additional student documentation attached with approval of the adviser, the ECE Graduate Committee will rate the student's performance as \"Above Expectation,\" \"At Expectation,\" or \"Below Expectation\" toward the completion of the PhD degree. Students must pass the Qualifying Review no later than the deadline, which is the semester in which they complete 24 credit hours after admission or within two calendar years after admission, whichever occurs later. If a student has passed the Qualifying Review, then the student is eligible to continue PhD studies. However, a student who does not pass the Qualifying Review by the deadline will be dismissed from the degree program and will be given the opportunity to complete a master's degree (if applicable). </li></ul><h3>Dissertation Committee</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>PhD dissertation committees for this degree program must have all of the below characteristics: - consist of at least five committee members including the committee chair - the committee chair must be either a Regular Appointment faculty member in ECE or a Secondary-Joint Appointment faculty member in ECE - at least 50% of committee members (when tabulated including the chair) must be ECE regular faculty - the majority of committee members must vote in favor of passing for the student to Pass - in addition to the above, all college and university requirements (such as one member outside of ECE) must be met. Joint faculty members may serve as committee chairs, but graduate faculty scholars may not serve as committee chairs. </li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>After passing the Qualifying Review, students are required to successfully complete the candidacy examination in order to demonstrate readiness for preliminary research in a chosen field of study. This exam is administered by the student's dissertation advisory committee. Preparedness for taking the candidacy examination requires that the student must demonstrate his/her readiness for the PhD program in Computer Engineering by authoring an accepted journal article or high-quality conference paper. The student must be the first author on this paper and the research advisor must also be an author on this paper to be used for Candidacy. The publication should reflect the work related to the student's PhD research. Candidacy is normally attempted at the completion of required coursework and must be passed before registering for doctoral dissertation hours (EEL 7980). Continuous enrollment in at least 3 hours of doctoral dissertation hours is required once a student starts taking dissertation credits. </li></ul><h3>Admission to Candidacy</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The following are required to be admitted to candidacy and enroll in dissertation hours. - Completion of all required formal coursework, except for dissertation hours. - Successful completion of the candidacy examination. - The dissertation advisory committee is formed, consisting of approved graduate faculty and graduate faculty scholars. - Submittal of an approved program of study. Signed and well-formed Doctoral Committee Candidacy Status form and associated paperwork must be submitted to the Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Office for processing on or before the last day to defend Dissertation during the semester prior to enrolling in dissertation credits. </li></ul><h3>Dissertation Proposal Exam</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>After passing the candidacy examination, the student will write a dissertation proposal and present it to the dissertation advisory committee for approval. The proposal must include a description of the research performed to date and the research planned to be completed for the dissertation. The presentation of a written dissertation proposal must be deemed as passing requirements by the majority of the dissertation committee. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>72</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Application Deadlines</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

Therefore, any student majoring in Computer Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of \"C\" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of \"C\" (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors. Any student majoring in Computer Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below \"C\" (2.0) and withdrawals) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors.</li> <li>A student who is excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after at least one full year has passed since exclusion. Readmission is not automatic and is dependent upon a high probability of success after readmission. Any student who is readmitted to the Computer Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification.

"description": "<h2>Admission Requirements</h2><ul> <li>Students wanting to declare a major in an engineering discipline must be in good academic standing and must have a \"C\" (2.0) or better in each of the following courses or their equivalents: MAC 2311C, MAC 2312, PHY 2048C, and CHS 1440 or CHM 2045C.</li> <li>Students wanting to declare a major in an engineering discipline must complete a change of major in the term of completion of the final pending prerequisite course(s) listed above.</li> </ul><h2>Degree Requirements</h2><ul> <li>Students in the Computer Engineering major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major in the College of Engineering & Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). Therefore, any student majoring in Computer Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of \"C\" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of \"C\" (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors. Any student majoring in Computer Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below \"C\" (2.0) and withdrawals) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors.</li> <li>A student who is excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after at least one full year has passed since exclusion. Readmission is not automatic and is dependent upon a high probability of success after readmission. Any student who is readmitted to the Computer Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification.

"description": "<h2>Admission Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>Students wanting to declare a major in an engineering discipline must be in good academic standing and must have a "C" (2.0) or better in each of the following courses or their equivalents: MAC 2311C, MAC 2312, PHY 2048C, and CHS 1440 or CHM 2045C or CHM 2040 AND CHM 2041.</li> <li>Students wanting to declare a major in an engineering discipline must complete a change of major in the term of completion of the final pending prerequisite course(s) listed above.</li> </ul> <h2>Degree Requirements (128 Credit Hours)</h2> <ul> <li>The College of Engineering & Computer Science requires all engineering students to achieve a minimum 2.25 GPA in completing the courses from section Basic Core Requirements, section Advanced Core Requirements, section Restricted Electives and section Capstone Requirements listed below. Independent study courses generally do not satisfy major requirements.</li> <li>A "C" (2.0) or better is required in each pre-requisite course in section Common Program Prerequisites, section Advanced Core Requirements, and section Capstone Requirements.</li> <li>Students in the Construction Engineering major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major in the College of Engineering & Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). Therefore, any student majoring in Construction Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of "C" (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors. Any student majoring in Construction Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below "C" (2.0) and withdrawals) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors.</li> <li>A student who is excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after at least one full year has passed since exclusion. Readmission is not automatic and is dependent upon a high probability of success after readmission. Any student who is readmitted to the Construction Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification. For more information on how this program may prepare you in that regard, please view the <a href=\"https://apq.ucf.edu/document/constructionengbs-disclosure/\" target=\"_blank\">licensure disclosure for the Construction Engineering (B.S.Con.E.)</a> program.</p>",
