Prisoners' rights. Federal and state laws govern the establishment and administration of prisons as well as the rights of the inmates. Although prisoners do not have full Constitutional rights, they are protected by the Constitution's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment (see Amendment VIII).
Applicants planning to enroll as full-time students (9 - 12 credit hours) in the Graduate Counseling program may qualify for $1,000 each semester. Two new awards will be made yearly. This is a competitive scholarship requiring an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.25.
There are some full-time programs (like those offered as part of a five-year BA/MBA degree program) that require little or no work experience. Most full-time programs, however, require at least three years of post-undergraduate professional experience. If you are a recent college grad, you might want to consider an Early Career MBA program. Part-time programs typically prefer three years of work experience, although they will admit students with less.
