In order to declare Criminal Justice Sciences as your major, you must first be admitted to Illinois State University. Visit the Office of Admissions Web site for information regarding freshman admission. You may complete an online application or download an application. Be sure to indicate Criminal Justice Sciences as your major of interest.
Freshmen are advised through the University College Academic Advisement for their first 24 semester hours. Illinois State believes advisors play an integral role in your career and require that you meet with your advisor twice during your first year. You will meet your first-year academic advisor during Preview which is our summer registration program. After you complete 24 semester hours, you will be advised by the Criminal Justice advisor. Although meetings with your department advisor are not required, they are strongly encouraged.
The department encourages students to complete the baccalaurette oriented A.A. or A.S. degree. An A.A. or A.S. degree will provide you with junior standing and completion of all general education requirements. General education requirements may also be met by completing the general education curriculum through the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI).
Transfer students must first meet admission requirements into the University in order to be considered for admission into the major. The department does reserve the right to maintain a balanced enrollment and may not be able to admit all qualifed applicants. More information can be found on the Transfer Student Web site.
Transfer students with less than 24 semester hours are advised through the University College Academic Advisement. After completing 24 semester hours, you will be advised through the Criminal Justice Sciences Department. Although meetings are not required, they are strongly encouraged.
Registration takes place during special on-campu programs called Transfer Registration programs. These programs are opportunities for you to advance register for classes, but you must apply early and be accepted in order to be invited.
The department considers major changes twice a year – January and September. In order to maintain a balanced enrollment, the department may limit the number of students entering the program. We may not be able to admit all students who meet the minimum admission requirements. You can download an Application in .pdf format.
