In addition to the university's facilities in Charlotte, Miami, and Providence, JWU operates a campus in Denver that serves students throughout Colorado and other states in the West. The university's College of Online Education also enables students to pursue a bachelor's or master's degree from any location with an internet connection. On-campus programs in Denver provide instruction in subjects like addiction counseling, food and beverage industry management, hotel and resort management, and organizational psychology. JWU also offers a 3+3 law program that allows students to earn a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and a juris doctorate while saving a full year's worth of tuition. JWU emphasizes the importance of work-placed learning and requires all of its undergraduate students to participate in an internship. While internship coordinators maintain relationships with businesses throughout the greater Denver area, online students may need to find a suitable partner in their own community. To apply to an undergraduate program, you must have a high school diploma or GED certificate. However, JWU does not require applicants to submit entrance exam scores.
