To be considered for to the Master of Science degree program in Law Enforcement Intelligence and Analysis, an applicant must:
- submit a personal statement regarding their academic and professional goals.
- submit scores from a GRE general exam taken within the last five years. The GRE exam is waived for candidates with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.2 or higher from an accredited and recognized college or university, and for applicants with a completed graduate degree.
The School of Criminal Justice recognizes that many applicants have been out of the academic environment for some time, and other factors may be considered in the process. A limited number of applicants who do not satisfy the School’s regular requirements may be admitted on a provisional basis. The decision to grant provisional is based on the student’s potential contributions to the field of criminal justice. A student may be enrolled on a provisional basis for only two semesters and must be admitted on a regular basis to be considered a degree candidate. To qualify for regular status, a student must complete a minimum of 12 credits of graduate course work in criminal justice with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
