- *A grade of C or better must be earned in CJ 1000 as a prerequisite for additional major courses. See 2016 Undergraduate Catalog for more information.
- **ACST 1300 Basic Statistics is highly recommended as the general education mathematics class.
- ***UNIV 1400 is a free choice elective and is highly recommended for academic success. If UNIV 1400 is chosen, 1 less hour of free choice electives will be needed.
- #A grade of C or higher (including transfer classes) is required in all undergraduate CJ major required core classes, but not the 9 hours of undergraduate CJ major elective courses.
- ##Students should prepare for the GRE during the sophomore year and take the GRE by the beginning of the junior year. Students should apply to the accelerated program by the first semester of the junior year. UNIV 1250 - GRE Test Preparation (1) (1 credit hour) is offered every semester.
- 10This course fulfills Competency 10 - Integration in the General Education program. The hours count in the major, not in general education.
- +Students pursuing the thesis option should take CJ 6600 Thesis during the last two semesters. These hours are taken instead of CJ 5600 and 3 of the approved graduate electives.
- This major does not require a minor, but one is strongly recommended. Most minors are between 18-24 credit hours. This major contains 29 hours of free choice electives, this gives a lot of flexibility for the addition of a minor, double minor, double major, or double degree. The number of free choice electives required will vary depending on the minor chosen.
- This major does not build in the minimum number (30) of upper-level credit hours required for graduation. Be sure to include upper-level choices (3000/4000) in your major electives, general education, and/or free choice electives.
- To satisfy the General Education Assessment (GEA) Policy, students must take the GEA after they earn 60 credit hours but before earning 75 credit hours. Transfer students who have more than 60 hours earned should take the exam during their second semester at UCM. Students must achieve a passing score of 425 to meet graduation requirements. Students may register for the GEA through MyCentral. Contact UCM Testing Services (HUM 216, 660-543-4919, testingservices@ucmo.edu) for more information.
