The Ph.D. program in International Crime and Justice focuses on international areas of study within the criminology and criminal justice field. This program cannot be completed fully online. Ph.D. students are also strongly encouraged to spend time on campus in order to network with colleagues and professors which subsequently can provide joint publishing opportunities. It is also in the student's benefit to get to know their professors personally in order to become familiar with their research interests and subsequently request them to be on comprehensive exam and dissertation committees. Students must be on campus to defend their dissertations. The Department and the Graduate School also periodically offer workshops and speakers who make presentations on a wide variety of topics, and this enriches the student's academic experience.
