* It is recommended that students take at least 15 credits of curriculum requirements each semester and at least 2 elective credits to obtain full benefit from tuition fees. This practice will insure that the student accrues more credit hours (137) at no additional cost, than the required (128) for graduation. (This is in addition to the (1) 18 credit semester).

4+1 BA/MS in Criminalistics

This program allows highly qualified students to complete the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in five years rather than six. Students of exceptional promise may be admitted to the program at the time of undergraduate admission. These students would be accepted with the understanding that at the completion of their junior year they would have maintained a sufficiently high GPA both overall and particularly in their major (3.2 overall and 3.2 in the

major). Students not initially recruited for the program who met these criteria are also able to apply. A definite commitment on the part of the department and of the student would be made at the conclusion of their fifth semester (midway through the junior year). Students accepted into the program upon admission would be able to complete it without having to take summer courses. Students who are admitted later, and who have completed fewer than 68 credit hours by the end of their sophomore year, will need to take summer credits during the third summer. Students who are interested in the program, but who are not accepted at admission, will be encouraged to complete several major courses during the sophomore year and to take a full load. All students interested in the 4+1 program must complete the 4+1 application during their junior year. With a provisional acceptance, they will be able to take three graduate courses during their senior year which will count for both Undergraduate and Graduate credits. Once successfully completing the graduate courses, those credits will transfer back to the undergraduate transcript to fulfill general elective credits. Upon successful completion of their undergraduate degree, students will be fully admitted to the graduate program and will take the remaining graduate courses during the fall following their senior year.
