The CJS-IR SF State Scholar Program blends the BA in Criminal Justice and MA in International Relations to partner a strong undergraduate program’s robust enrollment with an internationally recognized graduate program. Each in its own way exemplifies San Francisco State’s history, character, and values. Together, they will expand career opportunities for students. This SF State Scholar Program provides an academic roadmap and important pipeline that will allow students to bridge (and earn) two degrees, a BA in Criminal Justice and an MA in International Relations, better positioning them for recruitment and rapid advancement in careers that will make meaningful change. Cross-listed courses between the two departments offer a foundation for CJ students to enjoy a smooth transition into an IR graduate program, having gained an understanding of an IR world view and integrated that knowledge into a CJS. With careful planning and advising, students will fulfill complementary studies requirements, allowing them to graduate in five years, while maintaining the standards for both degrees. Because the IR graduate program includes an internship option, it is particularly well-suited to career-oriented students. Alumni have been especially successful in earning internships in the security field that have resulted in job offers. Students with a CJ background would be well-positioned to take advantage of those opportunities. The Master’s degree in IR will enable CJ students to start their careers at a higher salary level, and open up career opportunities that the IR program provides in government service such as State Department and Department of Homeland Security as well as careers in non-profits and global corporations.
