Downtown Fresno Criminology Degree Program
The downtown criminology upper division bachelors degree program offered
to Fresno City and Fresno County employees has been in operation for the
past 2 years. The program provides for a set of two required courses being
taught over a two months period, with courses offered at the Fresno PD Annex.
Students taking both courses during each two month cycle will complete their
upper division criminology degree requirements in the Law Enforcement option
within two years. The program provides 50 units of coursework and the degree
requires that students have a total of 120 units. The remaining units can
consist of other units already completed at CSU Fresno or another college
or university, and It is possible to transfer up to 70 units from junior
colleges in order to meet the 120 unit degree requirement. Students with
fewer than 70 units at the time of entry into the downtown program must make
up the remaining transferable units at a junior college. This can be done
concurrently with the downtown classes. Such
students should consult with Dr. Schweizer about the best approach for completing any remaining units
needed for the degree.
Eligible students may join the program at any point and will be able to complete
all of their upper division criminology and General Education courses during
a two year cycle, beginning with the first set of courses when they join the
program. Students with lower division college coursework or a junior college
degree that is not related to criminology can also join the program but may have
to complete up to two lower division criminology related courses at a junior
college.
Cost
The cost of a three (3) unit course is $570, and all course costs are calculated at $190 per unit. Other than the cost of books, there are no other fees.
