To qualify, you must meet all of the following requirements: Education: A bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college with either a major, or a sufficient number of credit hours in appropriate subjects which would satisfy academic requirements for a major in sociology, psychology, criminology, penology or other related behavioral science.
