U. S. Marshals Service Centralized Student Career Experience Program
U.S. Marshals Recruiting at Buffalo State
This cooperative education program prepares potential Deputy U.S. Marshals to enter the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) while working toward the completion of a 4-year degree. CSCEP is one of the only ways to get hired as a Deputy U.S. Marshal, and Buffalo State is one of the few colleges in the country to offer this opportunity.
During the 16-week program, students work with the USMS full-time during their final semester of study while earning salary and Federal benefits. Duties include safeguarding the federal court system, transporting prisoners, and executing warrants for federal fugitives.
STUDENTS APPLYING TO THE PROGRAM MUST:
- Be at least 20 years old and a U.S. Citizen
- Have a valid Driver’s License
- Be enrolled in one of the following majors: Criminal Justice, Political Science, Psychology, or Sociology
- Have and maintain a GPA of 3.0 in their major field of study and an overall GPA of 2.75
- Pass a structured interview
- Pass a full-field background investigation, medical examination, and fitness test
- Work in a USMS district office anywhere in the U.S. for 16 weeks at the GS-4 grade level after acceptance into the program (positions may be available in the Buffalo regional office)
Upon successful completion of CSCEP and degree requirements, students may be converted to a Deputy U.S. Marshal position (subject to satisfactory performance) within 120 days after completion of degree requirements.
