Criminal Justice and Security Studies
Experiential Learning
The Criminal Justice and Security Studies (CJSS) Department at the University of Dayton gives students a link between academics and a real-world working environment. Through experiential learning, CJSS students develop knowledge, values and skills in experiences outside the traditional academic classroom.
The experiential learning requirement can be fulfilled with a 1-credit class through two options.
- Option 1: Internship which is a supervised, structured work experience related to a student's academic field that enables them to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting while gaining valuable workplace.
- Option 2: Service learning which is a community-engaged learning, that encourages students to apply their knowledge and skills creatively to address a particular need, social justice issues or ethical problems, contributing to the health and well-being of individuals in the community.
