The minor is open to any qualified ECU student. To be admitted, students must complete CRIM 1000  with a grade of C (2.0) or higher and have a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students must maintain an overall 2.0 GPA through the program and earn a C (2.0) or higher in all CRIM courses.

No more than 6 s.h. of CRIM courses used for the minor may count toward the criminal justice major. 

The minor requires 18 s.h. as follows:
