STUDENT INTERNSHIPS

All Criminal Justice Majors who are seeking an A.S. Degree are required to register and successfully complete CCJ 2940 – Criminal Justice Internship prior to graduation. All Criminal Justice Majors who are seeking an A.A.S. Degree or an A.A. Degree may take CCJ 2940 as an elective. This course is limited to Criminal Justice Majors.
Students should take the Internship course only after completing most of their criminal justice required courses. Permission of the Instructor is required prior to registering for this course. Because internships fill up quickly and many affiliate sites have deadline dates, students should begin their approval process in the middle of the prior semester.
Directed Research (CCJ 2910) is no longer a co-requisite of the Internship course but may be taken at the same time as the Internship.
Students must first complete an Internship Application during the prior semester and submit to the instructor:
INTERNSHIP APPLICATION
Students may be able to intern at a variety of Affiliate Sites such as the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the Tampa Police Department, the Hillsborough Public Defender's Office, the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office, and the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. A list of affiliate agencies to which our students may apply for internships can be found through the link below:
