Criminal Justice Syllabi

The Criminal Justice program posts its syllabi online as part of the Sul Ross State University syllabus archive. The syllabi include such helpful information as which textbooks will be required for current and upcoming courses.

Students may view syllabi for the current term or use the search features to view information for previous or upcoming semesters. Anyone accessing the syllabus manager from off campus will need to log in using their SRSU e-mail user name and password.

CJ Department syllabi will be posted as far ahead as possible. Students should not expect a syllabus for a future class to appear more than 2 weeks before a class starts - in many cases the syllabus may not be posted here until the class has actually begun. Any syllabus posted in the archive before the beginning of a course may be subject to modification. Beginning with the first day of classes, the syllabus will no longer be subject to modification.

Book Information

Books to be used in forthcoming Criminal Justice courses will be posted here as that information becomes available. Each course that will be offered through the CJ department in the next semester will be listed below - some courses may not require a book - those courses will be listed anyway, but will indicate "no book required". Any course for which a book has not yet been chosen will be listed and will indicate "information forthcoming". Students may therefore have to check back at a later time. Book information is only available 1 semester ahead.
