Internships
Although internships are not required in the criminal justice major, they are strongly recommended. Students work under supervision in a criminal justice agency as well as meet other course requirements. It is the responsibility of the student to secure a cooperating agency and appropriate staff supervision. In order to gain credit, students must meet all requirements set out in “The Internship in Criminal Justice Requirements.” Those willing to travel during the week have a broader range of internship options. Internships may be carried out during the summer. In the past, students have successfully completed their internship work in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections regional office, U.S. Marshals, Department of Public Safety, Weatherford Police Department, Oklahoma City Police Department, Oklahoma Indigent Defense System, Oklahoma Criminal Justice Resource Center, Foss Lake Adventure Program (FLAP), area probation and parole offices, and juvenile services.
Either Ms. Barlow or Dr. Holley may be selected for the internship course.
