The Department: The Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice is a
well established program (with a new name) with research active faculty trained
at many of the finest doctoral programs. The undergraduate program is one of the
largest in the College of Liberal Arts. Students and faculty benefit both from
the opportunities to interact with faculty from many strong social and
behavioral science departments across the campus. The proximity to federal and
state criminal justice agencies in four states offers plentiful research
opportunities. The university enrolls a diverse mix of urban, rural, and
international students, which makes the college town an ideal setting to teach
and learn about social interaction and cultural differences.
