The curriculum for this degree is divided into two segments — the pre-criminology and criminal justice curriculum (PCCJ) and the upper division criminology and criminal justice program (CRCJ). Students who declare criminology and criminal justice as their major must complete the PCCJ requirements with no grade lower than “C-” in their criminology and criminal justice courses, and apply for admittance into the CRCJ program. Upon acceptance into the CRCJ program, students will qualify to register for 3000/4000 level criminology and criminal justice courses and complete any remaining course requirements for the BCCJ degree.
