While this course can be done outside their chosen concentration, students should be aware that the choice of a 300-level course outside their concentration implies the need to take a fourth course in the major (to satisfy the requirement that three course be taken in the concentration).
Note: QCC graduates will have completed one course in the concentration in The Courts and The Criminal Justice System.
** One of the three courses students must select in their chosen concentration must be a 400-level course. It is recommended that they do this in the fall or spring semester of their senior year.
