From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University at Albany, SUNY School of Criminal Justice (SCJ) is a school of the University at Albany, SUNY, offering both undergraduate and graduate programs in criminal justice. It was established in 1968, as a result of the desire of then-New York governor Nelson Rockefeller to create a research and education program centered around the study of crime.[1] It offered the first criminal justice doctoral program in the United States. In 2006, this program was ranked the 2nd best criminology doctoral program in the country by U.S. News & World Report.[2] The current dean is William Pridemore, who also received his Ph.D. from the School in 2000.[3]
