Criminal Justice Internships
Criminal Justice seniors are required to take an internship class, completing 130 hours (with other requirements). The internship offers participant-observation and hands-on experience that provides the opportunity to integrate theory and practice. It also provides an excellent networking opportunity for our students as well as a recruiting tool for our partner criminal justice agencies.
Forms:
- Texas A&M University Texarkana Criminal Justice Internship Program Handbook
- Checklist
- CJ 400 Application Form (download)
- Waiver and Release of Liability
