Criminal Justice
Our chapter, Alpha Nu Omega of the Alpha Phi Sigma national criminal justice honor society, was established to recognize academic excellence in the major, help students develop ties to a national network of other outstanding criminal justice students, present papers at national conferences, and to learn and take the values expressed in the charter of the organization to heart.
Students pay a lifetime membership fee upon their selection into the honor society. Each spring, Alpha Nu Omega has a formal induction ceremony where new members receive a membership certificate, lapel pin and membership card.
To be eligible, students must be a criminal justice major or minor, and have successfully completed a minimum of four criminal justice courses. Students must have a 3.2 cumulative grade point average and 3.2 criminal justice average to be a member.
