        Major Revisions:



        1. The program title has been changed to Criminal Justice

           from Criminal Justice and Administration.



        2.  Sociology 300 has been dropped from the list of required

            courses.  This course is not included in such programs

            offered at other collegs and universities and is not

            necessary in a program such as this.  See Section I.



        3.  Sociology 200 (Introduction to Criminology) has been

            added to the program's course offerings.  (A course 

            description is enclosed.)  This course will provide the

            necessary introduction to the issues and problems found

            in the field of Criminal Justice and will prepare students

            for their work in Sociology 220, 340, and 480.  (See

            Section I.)





        Add:  SOCIOLOGY 200 - INTRODUCTION TO CRIMINOLOGY (3)

        States including the police, the criminal and juvenile court

        also be given to the sociological "causes" of crime and

        delinquency.  Prerequisite:  Sociology 100.
