Criminal Justice PhD Programs in Virginia

The study of justice systems, institutions, policy, administration and practice: policing, courts, corrections and how they work together. Criminal justice looks at the justice system itself. Criminology studies crime and offending; forensic science examines physical evidence. Programs appear here only when official curriculum evidence supports the subject: a named concentration or track, or the degree's own required core — never a topic covered in one or two courses.

Listings in Virginia identify where the school (or the campus that delivers the program) is located. For online programs this is not a requirement to live there, and an online degree based in Virginia is not automatically open to residents of every state.
