Criminology and Criminal Justice Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

To earn a post-baccalaureate certificate in criminology and criminal justice students must complete core and elective courses within the department. Some of these courses may have prerequisites and students should read course descriptions in the current PSU Bulletin before registration. All core and elective courses submitted to satisfy the requirements for a post-baccalaureate certificate, whether taken at PSU or elsewhere, must be passed with a grade of “C” (2.00 GPA) or above. A course grade of C- does not satisfy this requirement. Courses taken under the undifferentiated grading option (pass/no pass) will not be accepted toward fulfilling these requirements.
