Program Description
The program in criminal justice emphasizes a
multi-disciplinary approach to the
understanding of deviant behavior and crime,
the nature of law and social control, the
organization and management of criminal justice
agencies, and the use of research and
evaluation for planned change in criminal
justice. Graduate education in criminal justice
at Washington State University focuses on the
creation of new knowledge through the
connection between theory, research, and

program is designed to accommodate students who
wish to pursue advanced degrees for the purpose
of becoming criminal justice professionals,

Criminal justice at Washington State University
is housed in the Department of Political
Science and offers direct access to studies in
gender and politics, political psychology,
public administration, public policy, public
law, comparative politics, international
relations, and American politics.
Interdisciplinary study and innovative study
plans are supported within our graduate
program.
