Top PhD Programs in Criminology

Many people who choose to get a PhD in criminal justice studies focus on the area of either criminology or criminal psychology. These are among the few areas of focus in the field that require a minimum of a masters degree, and most commonly, require a PhD.

According to U.S. News and World Reports reputable college ranking system, the three top graduate programs in Criminology are:

University of Maryland (College Park)
SUNY Albany
University of Cincinnati

While these are the top-ranked schools, it is still suggested that you research each of these individually before you just apply. It is important to remember that rankings do not always include areas of specialty interest and do not always indicate that a school will meet your specific needs.
