Criminal Justice

Internship Opportunities
Students will complete two internships or two co-ops. While internships are generally unpaid (as this is the nature of the placements in governmental agencies), these placements will earn students academic credit while providing hands-on learning with criminal justice professionals. The networking aspects of these internships are invaluable for future career development. In addition to the learning experiences, past students have received excellent letters of recommendation for future employment and for graduate and law school admissions.

In recent years, students have been placed in local agencies such as the District Attorney’s Office, the Institutional Law Center, the Philadelphia and Bucks County Prison Systems and the Pennsylvania Prison Society. Several students have interned and later worked full time at the Eastern State Penitentiary Historical Site and Museum. On the state level, interns have worked with the Board of Probation & Parole and other agencies. At the federal level, The US Customs Service had an agreement to accept cooperative education placements after having been screened by Dr. Hall in her SOC 205 Criminology/Criminal Justice course. Other students have interned at The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Alcohol, Tobacco & Fire Arms (ATF) and students have interned in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Honors Internship Program, a highly selective, nationally competitive program.
