The Department of Criminal Justice is known for our contributions to both theory and applied research in the field of criminal justice, impacting policy and practice. We strive to be a vibrant, interdisciplinary department, promoting synergy among research, teaching, and service to our students and our respective fields of study. 

Our students are the next generation of criminal justice professionals, becoming researchers, law enforcement officers, graduate students, professors, investigators, child protective services advocates, probation officers, court officials, and lawyers—bringing passion and persistence to the criminal justice field.

Your gift to the Criminal Justice Graduate Fellowship fund supports high-level developmental opportunities like research on crime and justice, academic conference participation and travel, and continuing education opportunities that complement students' classroom experience.

Help champion our mission to prepare graduate students for the criminal justice profession, so they can lead in their communities and help build a more just world.
