Course Notes:

JUST 100: Advisory

In spite of its low course number this course is geared for juniors and seniors. We focus on resume writing, interviewing skills, looking for internships and looking for jobs.

GJUST 225: Justice in American Society

This is a general education course and does not carry credit in the major.

JUST 301: JUST 301 can be taken more than once so long as the topics are different. For JUST 301 to count the topic must be relevant to your Track.

This course replaces the SCOM 320/220 requirement for all majors. It will be offered every semester. A very few seats are also available in SCOM 231 and SCOM 331 that will also meet this requirement. Please contact us if you wish to enroll in one of the SCOM sections.

SUMMER 09 NOTES

 Internships: They potentially count as a track course depending on the subject matter. It is possible to sign up for internship credits in May and June. You may only do one internship for academic credit. Information about internship requirements is on the department web site.

 

Spring 10 notes: research seminar

The Justice Studies Department will offer an experimental section of a Senior Research Seminar in spring semester of next year.  This will be a post senior seminar course in which students will work on research projects of their choice under the supervision of faculty.  Projects may include extending the senior seminar or a paper done in another course, beginning a new research project or working on a project with a faculty member.  Students will have to apply to take the course and there is no guarantee that all those who apply will be admitted.  

Again, this is a post senior seminar course so if you are interested in the course you must take the senior seminar in the fall.  They cannot be taken at the same time and this course is not a substitute for the senior seminar.  We will have two sections of the senior seminar available in the fall.  Should you be interested and have difficulty getting into one of the two sections we need to know immediately.
