1. JOHN JAY COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE – A.S. IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE:

RESOLVED, That the program in Criminal Justice leading to the Associate in Science degree to be offered at John Jay College of Criminal Justice be approved, effective September 2001, subject to financial ability.

EXPLANATION: The purpose of the proposed program is to offer a broad introduction to the study of criminal justice that is built upon a solid foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. The program is designed to expand the educational and career opportunities for students who plan to enter the criminal justice field. Criminal justice careers currently exist in more than two hundred local and federal agencies. Graduates of the proposed program will be eligible for transfer, without loss of credit, to the following baccalaureate degree programs offered at John Jay College: Correctional Studies, Criminal Justice (B.A. and B.S.), Criminal Justice Administration and Planning, Criminology, Deviant Behavior and Social Control, Forensic Psychology, Government, Judicial Studies, Police Studies, and Public Administration.

John Jay College currently offers all of the courses required in the program and since qualified faculty are already in place, only minimal costs are anticipated to implement this program. Thus the proposed program, which is expected to be unique in this field, is a cost-effective addition to the College’s specialized mission and its existing programs.

NO. 5. COMMITTEE ON FACULTY, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATION: RESOLVED, That the following item be approved:

He also served as the major advisor for Sociology, the Sociology representative at registration, the co-advisor to the College’s chapter of the national sociological honor society (Alpha Kappa Delta), the Department’s summer representative, and the mentor for seniors’ honor papers.
