In addition to the regular application
requirements of the University as outlined in the KSU Graduate Catalog,
admission to the M.A. program in JUS requires
ü
three letters of recommendation from persons
(preferably academic) who can attest to the applicant’s
potential for graduate study
ü
a one-page statement of motivation for
pursuing the graduate degree, including discussion of career interests and
goals
ü
a 3.2 undergraduate G.P.A.* (on a
4.0 scale), and
ü
submission of scores on the GRE (Graduate
Record Exam).
To earn a Master of Arts degree in Justice Studies, students must
complete a total of 33 semester hours, including five required courses (15
hours), 12 hours of electives, and six hours of research (thesis, or
internship and research, or research plus another 60000 level
course). Although specializations per se are not defined, the selection of elective courses and
internship options are varied enough to allow for personal
preferences. All students must
complete a capstone research experience to earn the degree. More detailed information on the
coursework requirements for the M.A. is available here.
* Students with an undergraduate GPA
of 3.0-3.19 may apply for admission on a conditional basis.
