Program Format:
New students are accepted into the Criminal Justice Program every 8 weeks. Each semester is divided into two seven-week terms. Students seeking full-time status will take two classes each term for a total of four classes a semester. Students who enroll full time for all 6 subterms may earn up to 36 hours of credit toward their degree each academic year.
The BS in Criminal Justice requires general education credits, elective credits, and more focused credits in Criminal Justice, Law Enforcement, and Crisis Management.
Transfer credit:
There are multiple ways to transfer credit to McMurry University. Courses eligible for transfer credit are those courses generally considered to be academic in nature; taken for college credit (not remedial or taken specifically for athletic participation) with a grade of at least C; and from a regionally accredited institution. Course credit can also be awarded through examination, such as CLEP or departmental examinations.
Your academic advisor will be able to review the results of your transcript evaluation with you.
