WVSU’s program was ranked eighth by the organization, which creates guides and school rankings to help potential students make decisions for higher education based on their personal goals.
“Our undergraduate program has been nationally recognized the last several years because of our experiential approach in teaching and we continue that strategy within our graduate program,” said Dr. Leighann Davidson, chair of the department. “All of our faculty have professional experience, so our students are learning the material while also developing field applications. Our department is honored to receive this ranking and strives to continue to provide the best education for the criminal justice professionals of today and tomorrow.”
