<p>Hi I'm helping my friend find schools with strong programs in any of the title's major. The only requierement is for it to not be a top school like anything above Boston University on the Ranks. Location not important, as long as the school has a strong program in it.</p>
<p>I can only think of 1 of the top of my head and it is unfortenately above BU. hmmm, I'll be back with a list (I think).</p>
<p>Ok, if you want all three programs in one school I found: Anna Maria College (MA), Olivet Nazarene College (IL), Rochester Institute of Technology (NY), University of Wisconsin- Superior (WI) and Winona State University (MN).</p>
<p>THat's great any others? I told my friend to look into John Jay just because it's obvious that you can go there for Criminal Justice since it's so focused. </p>
<p>Is Loyola University in Chicago any good?</p>
<p>Any other recommendations?</p>
<p>I'm not really an expert in the field, but I'll do some research and see what I can find!</p>
<p>PS All three programs don't need to be there, as long as one of them is there and they have a strong/good program that is well known for the major is fine.</p>
<p>ok I'll take that into account. Is there one major he likes more than the other 2, even a little bit? or does he like them all completely equally?</p>
<p>thanks celebrian and for everyone else who is helping.</p>
<p>john jay info- 80% required hs average (maybe a 2.75 or up on 4.0 scale?) minimum sat of 960, obviously great and everything since it's focus is just on criminal justice</p>
<p>more info to follow</p>
<p>loyola very strong in that department as well, though probably harder than john jay</p>
<p>us news rates the best criminal justice/public policy schools as:1. carnegie mellon (probably too selective) 2.john jay 3. American University 4.harvard (same as cmu) 5.purdue</p>
<p>thanks i just found another list of schools that list them, for anyone else who might be interested.

<p>I would add bradley university as well</p>
<p>I think of Smith and Hunter.</p>
<p>Earlham college in Indiana has a very interesting major called Human Development and Social Relations that combines course work in sociology, psychology, and anthropology and other areas. THe goal of the program is to prepare grads for careers in human services and public policy (They also have a very interesting program in non-profit management). Many of the program grads go on to work in social services and/or do grad work in social work but it also sounds like it might be a good foundation for criminal justice as well. <a href="http://www.earlham.edu/%7Ehdsr/%5B/url%5D">http://www.earlham.edu/~hdsr/</a></p>
<p>The University of Portland in Oregon has an actual undergraduate degree program in social work that has a good reputation as well. They also have a criminal justice major, I believe.</p>
<p>A few other schools with undergrad programs in social work: Arizona State, Augsburg (MN), Azuza Pacific (CA), Baylor (TX), SUNY BRockport and Fredonia, several of the cal states, Colorado STate, Creighton (Nebrasca), Elizabethtown (PA), Gordon (MA), Hope (MI), Indiana U, Juniata, Longwood (VA), Niagara (NY), PRovidence College (RIO), RIT, Sacred HEart U (CT), ST. Olaf (MN), Valparaiso (In), Southern Connecticut, U of Wisconsin, McDaniel College (MD), U of Washington, U of Vermont.</p>
<p>For criminal justice at the undergrad level, here's some schools from Rugg's REcommendations:
SUNY Albany, Bowling Green (OH), CAl STate Fullerton, Cal STate Long BEach, UC Irvine, U of Dayton, U of Delaware, Edinboro (PA) Elmira (NY - also has a major in social work), Florida STate, Gannon, George Washington, Guilford (NC), Hamline (MN), Indiana (also has social work), Iona (NY), Juniata (also has social work), Marist (NY),
U of MAryland, Michigan STate (also has social work), Quinnipiac (CT), REgis (Colorado), U of Richmond, St. LEo (FL), U of South Dakota, U of Toledo.</p>
<p>thank you all once again. I appreciate the time and help.</p>
<p>CSU Sacramento has a well regarded program as well.</p>
<p>One other thing: make sure your friend understands that these days most jobs in social work require a master's degree. An undergrad degree in social work usually leads to the lower level (i.e., poorly paid) jobs. Just something to keep in mind.</p>
<p>Yeah I let her know that, and she understands that if she wants to be a social worker she needs a masters degree, and it's kind of funny because she does not want to stay in school for a long time. I'm trying to look for 5 year joing BSW/MSW Loyola has it and so does Barry University. I could use some name of schools if you guys know any who have them. I saw on a site Chico and Long Beach had them, but I"ll have to check that out for her.</p>
