Welcome to the Fall 2005 semester in Criminal Justice at Sonoma State University.
Faculty are available for advisement after classes begin, either during their office hours or any posted extended hours. You may also make an appointment. Drop in and see any full-time faculty member for advisement. You will find their e-mail addresses below.
Many CJA classes are full and others require department consent to register. If you want to add a course that requires department consent, or be put on a wait list to get it, please write to the instructor at their address below.
This semester we are offering a new course: CJA 494, Restorative Justice Principles, which will be taught on Tuesday evenings from 6-9:40. (See the Fall 2005 CJA Schedule at this link.)
If you are a freshman-junior or first semester senior there are other alternatives for filling in your courseload. For example, many students can take CJA electives and upper or lower division GE requirements that are required for graduation. The CJA Internship is also available. For further information about Fall 2005 Internships take this link.
