They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies. Fellowships are given to support a student's graduate study and do not have a work obligation. For more information, see UCF Graduate Fellowships, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p><p>Students must achieve a grade of a solid \"B\" (3.0) or higher in every course listed under core requirements and in the capstone course CJE 6718.</p><p><strong>Thesis Option: 6 Credit Hours of the general elective requirements may be thesis hours</strong></p><p>All MSCJ students are automatically placed into the nonthesis option. Students electing to complete a thesis should consult the program adviser. The thesis option will consist of 6 hours of thesis credit and a successful defense of the research. Students should select a faculty adviser, form a thesis committee, and complete core/restricted elective requirements before enrolling in thesis hours. A thesis proposal must also be submitted to an approved committee before enrolling thesis hours. Students who elect to write a thesis should become familiar with the university's requirements and deadlines for organizing and submitting the thesis.</p><p><strong>Independent Learning</strong></p><p>Independent learning is demonstrated throughout the curriculum through the process of inquiry and dialogue. Tangible projects such as advanced research projects, scholarly papers, internships, practicum, and presentations at professional conferences also contribute to the self-development of our students. The culminating experience for students is completion of the CJE 6718 - Proseminar in Criminal Justice, which serves as the capstone for the program.</p>",

"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.
