CJ 480 Criminal Justice Capstone Course
This course provides students with the opportunity to engage in a culminating experience in which they use critical thinking skills to analyze, integrate, and synthesize the knowledge gained in their major program of study. The course also focuses on applying major criminal justice theories that have contributed to an understanding of deviant, delinquent, or abnormal behaviors and crime. This capstone course provides senior students the opportunity to demonstrate they can successfully analyze, evaluate, and interpret issues, problems and policies confronting the criminal justice field through a critical thinking, problem-solving process. This will take place in the context of a large-scale research project that focuses on a contemporary issue in Criminal Justice and will culminate in a presentation of their findings. Additionally, the course will serve as a bridge and preparation for either entry-level positions in the criminal justice field in the criminal justice field or graduate studies.
