In addition to the general University requirements, students must meet the following requirements of the program.

A minimum of 60 credits of approved graduate work are required. A maximum of 15 credits of master’s-level coursework will be accepted toward the required 60 credits of coursework (45 of the required 60 credits must be satisfied through the completion of doctoral-level courses). Up to 6 credits of independent study may be approved for credit upon petition to the Executive Officer. Elective courses are chosen by the student, under the guidance of a faculty mentor, from a wide range of Criminal Justice graduate courses or approved courses taught in other doctoral programs of the City University.

Students may satisfy The Graduate Center’s language requirement either by demonstrating competency in an advanced methodological technique or statistical method.
