Internships
The MSCJ program at Saint Xavier University recognizes the importance of practical experience in preparing students for careers in criminal justice. As such, the program offers internship opportunities that allow students to gain hands-on experience in various criminal justice agencies, such as police departments, probation offices, or legal organizations.
These internships provide students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios, working alongside professionals in the field. Students gain valuable insights into the day-to-day operations of criminal justice agencies, develop professional networks, and enhance their understanding of the challenges and rewards of a career in criminal justice.
