This Leadership Course is Torture

The doctoral program coordinator said he doesn't know why they designed those information technology courses when they had no one to teach them. It might sound weird to have information technology in a criminal justice program, but GIS is used in crime mapping, and one course covered information security. GIS is a valuable skill I wanted to learn. They should definitely remove them from the catalog.

They'll accept up to 6 transfer credits from a regionally accredited school. I was even encouraged to look at other departments at Texas State University and University of Texas. They'll take anything that is semi-related to criminal justice such as psychology, sociology, social work, education, political science, and even geography depending on the subject matter. The problem is that Texas State University doesn't have many doctoral programs, so they don't have many doctoral courses to choose from in other departments. I don't want to deal with the Austin traffic to travel to University of Texas. I already took one independent study course, so I only have one left. We're allowed two of those to count toward the degree. I'm saving that for the summer when there are hardly any options. I might try to find something online for next summer. I'm taking all required courses in the spring.
