Message from the Dean
Welcome to John Jay College of Criminal Justice! You made the right choice! John Jay Graduate Studies is committed to your education and your success. As we create those leaders who will guide humanity to a shining path, we also want to support upper mobility. I want John Jay graduate students to pursue their dreams of justice while also assuring their economic stability. The recent article “Graduate Degrees Boost Job Prospects During Pandemic More Than Others� (Inside of Higher Education, May 2020) shows that people who have graduate and professional degrees are more likely to find a new job after being unemployed due to the pandemic, which demonstrates the benefits of possessing a graduate degree. Another of our central aims is to facilitate the means by which higher aspirational attainment might be achieved for these central goals of our community. This is particularly true as we have grown and diversified as a society. I want to hear your voice, learn your needs, and support your development. My first task was to hear your voice. On my first day as Dean, I sent out a survey to learn more about student retention. I wanted to hear your voice, as well as the voices of our faculty and staff. Let us begin this semester with passion! We are here to help you achieve your goals. We count on academic advisors, experienced professors, amicable staff, and an institution that has been committed to criminal justice for more than 60 years. Best regards, Dr. Elsa Sofia Morote

Appendix IV: International Crime & Justice, M.A. Dear Incoming Graduate Students of the Master of Arts Degree Program in International Crime and Justice, Congratulations on your acceptance to the Master of Arts Degree Program in International Crime & Justice. In this letter, you will find preliminary information about course requirements and sequencing, along with recommendations about course load. It is to your advantage to register as soon as possible. The first thing to consider when scheduling your first semester is to factor in coursework that does not count towards your credit total but must be completed, in case you have been accepted with conditions. Some of you must take our undergraduate statistics course, STA250. STA250 will not count towards your GPA and thus I recommend that you take it pass/fail (you must file a form with the Registrar’s Office at the beginning of the semester to do this: http://jstop.jjay.cuny.edu/forms/Pass_Fail_Option.pdf). Thirty-six (36) credits are required to complete your graduate program. Students should be able to complete the course of study in two years if they maintain full-time status (defined as three to four courses a semester1) or four years if they are part-time (fewer than three courses). If you take courses during the summer, you may complete the program in less than two years. If you work full time, I recommend you limit yourself to a maximum of two courses a semester. Remember, graduate coursework is more demanding than undergraduate coursework, and you must maintain a 3.0 GPA to remain in good standing as well as graduate. If you receive benefits from the Office of Military and Veterans Services and are required to take STA 250 as a condition of your acceptance, you MUST additionally file the Veteran Graduate Student Authorization for Undergraduate Courses and submit it to the veteran certifying official in the Office of Military and Veterans Services. Email your advisor to obtain the form. Course Availability Core courses are offered every semester either on campus or online (or both). Some electives are also offered during the winter session. Summer offerings may include both core and elective courses, based on student demand. On-campus students may register for their ICJ classes either campus-based or online (pending space availability). On-campus students are allowed to take up to 5 courses maximum online while enrolled in the on-campus degree program. Additionally, on-campus students are not permitted to take ANY Criminal Justice (CRJ prefix) online courses. Course Sequencing Courses may be taken in any order except for the ICJ770: Capstone in International Crime and Justice course, which may be taken only after ALL other core courses are completed. Exceptions may be made to this rule for good reason. Elective courses may be taken at any time. A suggested sequence is detailed below for a full-time On-campus student who does not need to take any prerequisites. Students may use their 12 elective credits to complete courses toward the Advanced Certificate in Transnational 1 In order to be considered a full-time graduate student, students must register for a minimum of 9 credits per semester. However, a minimum of 12 credits per semester is still required for in-state students to receive flat rate tuition. For questions regarding instate tuition, contact the Office of Admissions.

23 23 Organized Crime Studies or, students can take a combination of different electives chosen from the list of approved electives. (Note: This is just one example of course sequencing. Sequencing is based on personal preference and workload out of the classroom setting. ALL students are encouraged to combine elective courses with core course enrollment. Taking a lower course number - 700 or 701 - has no bearing on performance or difficulty in/of higher courses - 704 or 706). Year 1 (Fall) ICJ 700

Elective course offerings will vary every semester and new electives may be developed.

Appendix V. MA/JD Dual-Degree Program in Forensic Psychology & Law What is the MA-JD Program? The Four-Year MA/JD dual-degree program offers qualified students the opportunity to earn both a Master of Arts degree in Forensic Psychology at John Jay College (JJC), and a Juris Doctor degree in Law at CUNY Law School, which may be completed in as little as four years. The MA/JD Dual Degree Program will capitalize on CUNY Law School’s nationally renowned focus on public interest law with John Jay College’s highly recognized specialization in Forensic Psychology, to develop lawyers who will be uniquely trained to advocate for the underserved, especially in the areas of family law, criminal law, international human rights and health law, as practitioners, policy makers and legal scholars. [Graduates will also be able to work as MA Psychologists exempt from doctoral-level licensure in NY State civil service job settings; and as MA Psychologists in various other states, depending upon their licensing laws]. What is the Focus of the Program? The focus of the program is on forensic psychology, and law, in the public interest. In addition to the MA in forensic psychology, students will be encouraged to choose a law school concentration in criminal law, family law, health law, or international human rights. How Many Credits are Required for Graduation? The curriculum is composed of the existing required and elective courses for the MA and for the JD, requiring a combined total of 128 credits, including 42 credits for the completion of the MA Program in Forensic Psychology and 86 credits for the completion of the JD Program in Law. However, 12 CUNY Law School credits will be credited towards both the JD and the MA Program. Likewise 12 MA credits from the John Jay Forensic Psychology MA Program will be credited also to the CUNY Law School JD program. Consequently, due to the 24 transfer credits applied in the dual degree program, the actual number of credits taken will be 104, resulting in graduation for full-time students in four years instead of five. What is the Course Sequence? Students may begin their training in either the MA or the JD program, but the first year must be exclusively in one program, followed by the second year exclusively in the other program. Students may then mix their courses between the two programs in their third and fourth years. The MA Program in Forensic Psychology will consist of 24 required credits; 15 forensic elective credits, including 12 credits from the CUNY Law School; and 3 credits of externship. The JD from CUNY Law School will consist of 55 required credits, 9 or more Bar Elective credits, 9 credits in Clinic or Practicum, 12 transfer credits from the JJC MA Forensic Psychology Program A typical course sequence for a student choosing to start in the MA Program: First Year at JJC would cover Mental Health Professionals & the Law, Research Methods, Psychopathology, Statistics, Human Growth & Development, two testing courses, and Clinical Interviewing. Second Year at CUNY would include Civil Procedure, Contracts I & II, Torts, Criminal Law, Family Relations Law, Lawyering Seminar I & II, Legal Research, and Due Process law. Third Year at both might include Administrative Law, Constitutional Structures, Evidence, Lawyering Seminar, Core Doctrine, Property, Bar Elective, Forensic Psychology Elective. Fourth Year at both would include several Bar Electives, law school clinic or practicum, and the JJC psychology externship.

Appendix VII. Student Online Readiness Course - Are You Ready? At the start of the Fall 2020 semester, CUNY made available a resource designed to help prepare students for online learning. Initially developed by Hostos, the Student Online Readiness Course Are You Ready?, is an award-winning Blackboard-based training course. Are You Ready? uses videos, quizzes, and a practice assignment to provide students with an understanding of the basic functions and activities they will encounter during their online education at John Jay College. The training course takes an average of 30 – 40 minutes to complete and is broken into 5 sections: ⦁ Welcome to CUNY Online Learning Basic Technology Proficiency Using Blackboard Technology Requirements Netiquette At the start of the training, students are asked to complete a brief self-assessment. This helps them determine their suitability for online learning and will identify any areas that may need improvement for the student to succeed in their courses. Students must complete all activities in a section before being allowed to move forward. This ensures that the student completes the training with a better understanding of how to navigate their courses throughout their educational career at CUNY. In order to ensure that our students can benefit from this training, it is important that we work together to provide as many students as possible with this resource. We ask that you help us by: ⦁ Promoting this resource to faculty. Many have offered it as an extra credit assignment at the beginning of the semester. The Blackboard Support team developed a webinar with step-by-step instructions, which can be found on our webinar webpage: http://jjay.cuny.edu/online-education-support-webinars ⦁ Promoting this resource to academic advisors. Please consider adding it to early advising sessions and followup sessions where the student is struggling with Blackboard use. ⦁ Adding information about the training organization to your distance learning resource pages and communications. While a formal evaluation of Are You Ready? has not yet been conducted, the Blackboard Support Team has reported a reduction in support tickets from courses that have implemented it. The more students who complete the training, the more opportunities we will have to assess the effectiveness of the course. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about Are You Ready? Student Online Readiness Course - Are You Ready? Student Online Readiness Course - Are You Ready?,

Appendix X: Masters in Economics For all the incoming folks into the MA program we would like you all to take at least the following two courses: ECO 750 Math for Economists and ECO 713: Political Economy. These are our two foundational courses on which we build our other courses. If people take only two courses, it should be these two. If folks only take one course talk to us about it. In the past students who were weak or nervous about Math delayed taking the course and this is something we would like to avoid as it puts students way behind of what courses they can take afterwards. If you feel a bit nervous about Math, we would recommend that you, by yourself or in your own study groups, work on some basic Math foundations. There are a few useful sources online including Professor Leonard , whose videos are the best math videos available on youtube. He has complete courses on math (pre-calculus, calculus, linear algebra, etc). Our "normal" 2-year 12 course curriculum would be as followed: Semester 1: ECO 750; ECO 713; and an Elective Semester 2: ECO 751; ECO 720; and an Elective Semester 3: ECO 752; ECO 725; and an Elective Semester 4: ECO 799; ECO 740; and an Elective You can go slower or faster. For the college, 12 credits is full-time. Most students in our program are part-time and take 9 credits. Incoming students should not take microeconomics except if they have a strong math background; incoming students should not take ECO 752: Research Methods II unless students are well versed in R, statistics, and Econometrics. Electives: We rotate electives each semester and we will offer two or more electives each semester depending on enrollment. For our planning purposes and negotiations with the administration, please sign up for classes sooner than later, otherwise some classes will fill up and we won't have time to add new classes. If you have any questions about advising or anything else and would like to talk to us please contact Ian Seda ( iseda@jjay.cuny.edu ) or Geert Dhondt (gdhondt@jjay.cuny.edu ).
