As the nation's sixth oldest doctoral program in criminology and criminal justice, IUP's PhD program has produced over a hundred graduates. These alumni now teach at universities nationwide or contribute their specialized knowledge at prestigious state and federal research institutions and agencies.
The IUP program stands out by emphasizing academic career preparation through a comprehensive approach that combines research, theory, justice systems, and educational studies.
