Criminology PhD Programs in Virginia

The study of crime, offending, victimization, theory and related research, often with a strong social-science and research-methods core. Criminology asks why crime happens and how societies respond; criminal justice programs are usually more focused on institutions and practice. 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.
