Internship Opportunities for Class Credit

The Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice offers three types of internships.

The Field Experience in Criminal Justice (CJUS-X477) allows you to bring content knowledge to a real-world setting. Internship applicants will be responsible for reaching out and securing their internship with a partner organization. This is an important aspect of the internship experience. 

Our Internship Coordinator will reach out to set up a one-on-one meeting with each intern to help them better prepare for seeking an internship.

Listed below are some of our internship partners:

  • Court Administrator’s Office
  • Monroe County Jail Transition Program
  • Probation Department
  • Prosecutor’s Office
  • Public Defender
  • Middle Way House
  • Brown County Probation
  • New Hope Shelter
  • MSI Security
  • Community Justice and Mediation Center (CJAM)

You can earn 3-6 credits in the CJUS major.
