General Statement

The Department offers graduate work leading to the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in criminal justice. The Master of Arts in Criminal Justice degree program is designed to serve as a first stage of training for students who plan to pursue more advanced graduate work, as well as to prepare students who will terminate their studies at the master's level. For the latter group, including many in part-time attendance, the M.A. program is designed to serve students who, upon graduation, will begin or rejoin professional careers in management, administration, or specialist positions in a vast array of governmental and private criminal and juvenile justice and related agencies. The Ph.D. degree program is designed to produce criminal justice scholars who will provide the future leadership for the field in such areas as academia, private and governmental research agencies, and policy level positions in criminal justice and related organizations.

Areas of Concentration

The graduate curriculum is broad-based and interdisciplinary, stressing essential relations among criminological theory, research, policy and practice, and between the goals and problems of the criminal justice system and those of the broader society in which it functions. Study areas particularly reflect the mission of Temple University in its focus upon urban problems and issues, among which crime and criminal justice are obviously priority concerns. The Ph.D. degree program allows students, working with a committee of departmental and other university faculty of their choice, to tailor their own individual specialized fields of study. In addition to fields within the direct areas of crime and justice, students are expected to take courses and to master fields in other related departments and disciplines.

Application Deadlines

Students are admitted to the M.A. program in September and January. Admission to the Ph.D. program is limited to September. Application materials and requests for financial assistance must be forwarded to the Graduate Program Chair as follows:

• September admission M.A. -June 15
• January admission M.A. -October 15
• September admission Ph.D. -March 15

Students seeking applications for financial support are advised to apply by January 31.

Financial Aid

Applicants may qualify for a number of graduate assistantships in the Department, many of which carry a stipend plus full waiver of tuition and fees. Several funded research grants also offer part-time employment to interested and qualified graduate students.

Applicants interested in seeking financial support on a graduate assistantship or funded research basis should notify the graduate program admissions committee as part of their letter of application.
