Transfering to ISU in CJS

From the Desk of the
Criminal Justice Advisor

I am Currently attending another college and would like to Transfer to Illinois State Univeristy in Criminal Justice Sciences


We are very glad you are interested in continuing you studies at Illinois State University.

To be eligilbe for the Criminal Justice Major you must have a transfer GPA of at least a 2.4. This GPA will include any and all college level work you have done not just the school you are now attending.

Your first priority should be given to completing the transferable associate degree from the school you now attend. This would include either the Associate in Arts (A.A.) Degree or the Assoiciate in Science (A.S.) Degree.

If you are not completing a degree from the Community College you should be working on IAI General Education requirements. The counselors at your Community College should be able to assist you with these course selections or you may use the internet worksheet.

IAI Worksheet
Select the College you are currently attending and choose courses listed for that college.


**Please note the Associate in Applied Science Degree is NOT considered the transferable degree** If you are not sure which degree you are working on please contact the Advisor at your school.
