The Program distinguishes itself in research excellence by challenging students to engage in groundbreaking research in criminology, law enforcement, corrections, and criminal justice policy with renowned faculty mentorship, said Dr. Daniel Scott, TAMIU associate professor and director of the Ph.D. in Criminal Justice Program.

"The Program is designed for both traditional students and working professionals with flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend classes in a hybrid learning format," he said, "Students will learn from distinguished scholars and experienced practitioners with expertise across all Criminal Justice disciplines."

In addition, the Program prepares graduates for senior leadership roles in law enforcement and corrections, academia, policy development and consulting, Scott said.
