Internship Program

Criminal Justice Internship Program

The criminal justice internship is a three-credit elective course for students who have completed at least sixty credits and have earned a minimum G.P.A. of 2.4. Professor Kevin Callahan, who served as a Hudson County Superior Court Judge for 25 years, coordinates the internships and introduces students to a variety of agencies such as the FBI, superior and municipal courts, prosecutor’s offices, police departments, probation divisions, law offices, reentry programs, emergency management offices, homeland security agencies, fire departments, and public defender’s offices.
