Courses Offered
The program is designed to introduce students to concepts of crime and punishment in The Netherlands and to provide an opportunity for direct exposure to a system
very different from our own. The students will observe Dutch ideology and practice in the design, rationale, and implementation of criminal justice.
The two courses taken together may be used to satisfy the internship requirement in the administration of justice major. Students taking the independent study credits must complete a research paper on some aspect of the Dutch justice system.
Eligibility
The program is open to all students with a minimum 2.5 grade-point average. Applicants are considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Students are encouraged to apply early, as enrollment is limited.Faculty
