THE PROGRAM

The Ph.D. Program in Criminal Justice is designed to provide individuals with the theoretical background, practical knowledge, and research capability required for university teaching and research positions and to become leaders in the criminal justice professions. Using the specialized resources of John Jay College of Criminal Justice and The Graduate Center, the program draws on a nationally recognized faculty, a strategic geographic setting, and close working relationships with all components of the criminal justice system. Most seminars are given at John Jay College of Criminal Justice; some are given at The Graduate Center. Classes are offered in the following topic areas: Criminal Justice Policy and Practice; Criminology and Deviance; and Law and Philosophy.

Resources for Training and Research

The library of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, with over 260,000 items and sophisticated computerized facilities, is the principal research resource. Criminal justice agencies constitute fertile ground for institutional research. Research fellowships are available.

Financial Aid

Students admitted for full-time doctoral study receive full support (tuition and a stipend). The stipends require program service in the form of teaching and research assignments. In addition, the program may admit some students who remain working professionals while attending the program. These students must have previously completed a master’s degree. Students who remain working full time outside the program may receive in-state tuition-only awards. In addition, doctoral students are encouraged to apply for competitive fellowships and assistantships.

En-route Master’s Programs

On completion of 45 credits with at least an average grade of B, passing the First Examination, and submission of satisfactory research work, a student who does not possess a master’s in criminal justice may apply for the M.A. degree, which will be awarded by John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
