Criminology Program Gets The "Green Light" for Master and Ph.D. Programs
On October 26th the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board gave the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences the approval for a master and Ph.D. program in Criminology.
“This has been a long time coming,” said Dr. James Marquart, Program Head for the Criminology program. The process to obtain the graduate program was started nearly four years ago by Dr. Paul Tracy.
“This program allows us to train the next generation of criminological researchers and policy analysts. Also, having a full-blown graduate program enhances our ability to address important crime related issues in the state.”
Dr. Marquart went on to say that the program will be able to develop researchers that can impact how we think about crime and what to do about it since UTD now possesses the only Ph.D. program in Criminology in the state of Texas.
