  • CJUS 642 Criminal Justice Administration (3 credits)
  • CJUS 644 Government & Non-profit Accounting (3 credits)
  • CJUS 647 Human Resources for CJ Administrators (3 credits)

 

Admission requirements in to the certificate program:

  • Minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree
  • Personal Statement/Essay
  • 3 years of experience in the field

 

Candidates for certificates must:

  • Complete the nine (9) credit hour requirements at Xavier.
  • Earn a minimum of “C” or better in each course.
  • Satisfy all financial obligations to the University.

 

Students who complete the certificate may apply for the criminal justice graduate program. Students must obtain a minimum of “B” in each certificate course for acceptance into the M.S. CJUS degree program.
