a.
Rationale for creation, revision, or
deletion:
In 2002 the University of
Delaware and Delaware Technical and Community College ratified a new
articulation agreement for students transferring from DTCC’s A.A. program in
Criminal Justice Technology to UD’s B.A. program in Criminal Justice. Part of the negotiations involved determining
which courses taken at DTCC would count toward the Criminal Justice major at
UD. Representatives from both
institutions agreed that as many DTCC courses as possible should be accepted
when reasonable UD equivalents existed, because little purpose is served by
requiring students to repeat comparable courses. At the same time, representatives from the UD
Criminal Justice Program articulated the principle that students claiming a
degree in Criminal Justice from UD should take the bulk of their course work in
criminal justice at UD, and expressed concern that in the past transfer
students from DTCC had graduated after taking as few as 6 CRJU credits at the
UD campus. Therefore, the new
articulation agreement specifies that any student pursuing the connected degree
between the two institutions must take 15 credits of CRJU courses at UD.
The
administration of this rule, however, has produced an inequity. Namely, students who earn an A.A. degree at
DTCC and transfer to UD are disadvantaged compared to other transfer students
because only connected degree students are subject to the 15 credit rule. In fact, because of the liberal transfer of
credit matrix with DTCC, it is possible for a DTCC student who transfers to UD
without an associate’s degree to take fewer CRJU credits at UD than a DTCC
transfer who earns an A.A., because the articulation agreement only applies to
DTCC students with an A.A. Therefore, we
propose adding a residency requirement to the Criminal Justice major that would
apply to ALL transfer students.

Summary of Program
Add to catalog in the space
indicated on attached catalog page:
