CRIM 494 - Civic Engagement for Criminal Justice Students


1-15 credits
This course is designed for the student who does not intend to work directly within the criminal justice field upon graduation.  The course requires that students find placement within a community agency (non-profit) so that they can gain experiences and skills that are useful across a wide variety of employment settings.  The goal of the civic engagement experience is that students will gain professional experiences that they can place on their resume, learn communication and collaboration skills within a work environment, understand and address the issues that impact communities, and be actively engaged in a project that is designed to address these issues.  

Prerequisite(s): 18 hours of Criminology/Criminal Justice credits taken at Longwood. Students’ cumulative GPA must be 2.0 or above to be eligible for internship. Must be arranged at least one semester in advance with chair of department.
