Internship Information
The Criminal Justice Area offers its students an opportunity to experience “hands-on” learning through its internship program available exclusively to criminal justice majors. Students can take advantage of semester long placements in Bucks County police departments, probation departments, social service agencies, prison half-way programs, and other alternatives to fit the students’ needs. In this way the student will be better able to come to a decision as to whether or not his or her chosen field is appropriate. The internship provides the student with a 3 credit criminal justice elective which is applied to the 3 course elective requirement.
