The Department of Administration of Justice offers courses in Administration of Justice (DAJ). It offers an undergraduate degree, Bachelor of Science (B.S.), in Administration of Justice. Students pursuing undergraduate degrees or majors in other departments where they are required to declare a minor may seek a minor in the Administration of Justice. The Department of Administration of Justice also offers a minor in Forensic Science (FS), Military Science (MSCI), Air Force Leadership (AFSC), and Naval Science (NAVA). Interested students may obtain information from the Department office located on the fourth floor of the Public Affairs Building. The Department of Administration of Justice offers a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Administration of Justice and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Administration of Justice. Administered fully online, the Department also offers the Executive Masters in Administration of Justice (eMAJ).

The mission of the Department of Administration of Justice is to educate students for careers and community service within a diverse urban environment through the development of specialized knowledge and skills needed for effective public service. The Department strives to prepare students with not only facts and concepts, but also encourages students to think critically and ethically in applying knowledge to related problems and challenging situations.

The curriculum presents subjects designed to develop competence for employment, leadership roles and for students planning careers in:

  • the judiciary,
  • law enforcement,
  • parole and probation,
  • corrections,
  • institutional services,
  • security administration,
  • homeland security, and
  • other related career areas.

Students wishing to pursue the undergraduate degree offered through the Department must first gain admission to the University. They must satisfy TSI requirements, eradicate identified deficiencies, and declare Administration of Justice as their major. To declare a major in Administration of Justice, students must have an earned overall GPA of 2.50  or better and have completed the following four courses with  grades of “C” or better (grades of “C-” are unacceptable): 

POLS 2305American Government3
POLS 2306Texas Government3
ENGL 1301Freshman English I3
ENGL 1302Freshman English II3

Once admitted to the Department, students are each assigned an Academic Advisor who must approve all class schedules. They must also keep the Department Office informed of current addresses and telephone numbers prior to graduation. Students must also retain a minimum overall GPA of 2.00 and fulfill all prerequisites for required courses prior to scheduling them to remain in good standing in the Department. Students failing to meet prerequisites for courses will be administratively withdrawn from them. Students are also cautioned that transfer credits will be accepted for either elective or required courses only if grades of “C” or better have been earned (grades of “C-” are unacceptable) at an accredited educational institution.

Students wishing to pursue the B.S. in Administration of Justice are cautioned that a prior criminal conviction may be used to deny access or placement in various jobs in the criminal justice system, especially those related to the judiciary, law enforcement, detention, and corrections, even when the degree has been earned.

Requirements for the B.S. in Administration of Justice are specified in detail below.  As first-time degree seekers, students are required to declare a minor in a second academic discipline either through the Department or through another department for graduation. Grades of “C” or better (grades of “C-” are unacceptable) must be earned in all major and minor courses required for graduation. Additionally, in selecting minors, students should seek detailed advisement from their designated advisors because the selection of a minor having representative courses in the core curriculum for the degree of choice could influence the total number of credits required. In no case will students qualify for graduation at the undergraduate level with fewer than 120 semester credit hours satisfactorily completed.  At the beginning of the senior year, majors should have their overall transcripts and records evaluated by their Academic Advisor to verify their status with regard to graduation.  An exit examination is required of all graduating seniors.
