Chadron State College requires that students earn 120 hours of credit to graduate. A degree in Criminal Justice satisfies 57 of those hours. A degree in Legal Studies satisfies 48 of those hours. Each degree requires students to complete a core group of classes as well as elective classes in several focus areas. Please see the specific 司法研究 degree requirements.
-
Do I need to complete any other classes?
是的. 每一个学生, regardless of field of study, must complete coursework in the Essential Studies 程序. Please see the Essential Studies requirements.
-
If I major in one of the 司法研究 degrees, do I need to complete a minor?
No. Both the Criminal Justice degree and the Legal Studies degree are called comprehensive majors and students who complete one of these programs do not need to complete a minor. 然而, students are free to pursue a minor and are often encouraged to consider a minor that will complement their area of interest.
-
I have taken classes at another institution. Will these classes transfer to CSC?
最有可能的. CSC and the 司法研究 program accept credits for classes taken at community colleges and four-year colleges. CSC and the 司法研究 program also have agreements with many colleges that allow for most classes to substitute for required classes in our degrees. If you have already earned a two-year Associate of Arts degree, you have also satisfied the Essential Studies requirements at CSC. Please contact a 司法研究 faculty member for answers to questions specific to classes you have completed.
-
How long will it take to complete my programs of study?
很明显, the answer will depend on whether you have completed coursework at other schools or whether you are just beginning your studies. Students must complete the required hours for the respective degree as well as the Essential Studies requirements. The length of time to complete programs varies by student, but both programs may be completed in four years provided students successfully complete a full load of classes each semester and provided they plan a course of study with their advisor.

Are internships available? Are internships required?
