CUNY Justice Academy
|
The CUNY Justice Academy is a unique educational partnership connecting John Jay College of Criminal Justice to CUNY’s six traditional community colleges. This program provides academic pathways leading from associate degree study to a bachelor’s degree and ultimately to exciting careers in the fields of Criminal Justice, Forensic Science and Forensic Financial Analysis. |
|
How the Academy WorksBy enrolling in a degree program of the CUNY Justice Academy, you receive dual admission into one of the six participating CUNY community colleges and John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The first 60 credits are taken at a “partner” community college campus, with the final 60 credits taken at John Jay. This means that when you successfully complete the first 60 credits, with a GPA of 2.0 or better, and you have completed at least one 3-credit college-level course in mathematics and English with a grade of "C" or better, you not only receive an associate’s degree from the partner campus but are rewarded with the option of guaranteed transfer to John Jay. Once at John Jay, you will be on track to complete your bachelor’s degree. Participating Colleges
