Internships provide students with a supervised work experience in a setting in which Criminology is applied. Students in the Criminology major are required to have one three credit-hour experiential learning opportunity, which can be satisfied through the Internship course (CRIM 399) or through an independent study or study abroad. Students consistently reflect positively about their internship experiences through the Criminology program at LC!
Speak to your Criminology major advisor to discuss your interest in a Criminology internship. Consult your course catalog to learn more about the prerequisite/registration requirements. If you have questions, you can also contact the Dr. Kimberly McCabe.
