WELCOME

The Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology has a long rich history. In
1935, the President of then, Washington State College, Dr. Ernest O. Holland,
contacted the nation’s first ever FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, for guidance in
creating a program for the sole purpose of training law enforcement officers
(September 18, 1935 Letter, October 3, 1935 Letter- Part 1, and October 3, 1935
Letter- Part 2). In 1941, under Dr. Vivian Anderson Leonard, the Department of
Police Science was formed. Since then it has expanded beyond training police
officers to touch on every aspect of the criminal justice system.

Combining a passion for scholarship with a keen understanding of practical
applications, the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology offers students
the opportunity to learn, explore and develop in a substantive and expanding
field. The Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology is located on three
campuses of Washington State University, at Pullman, Spokane, and Vancouver.

The department offers both graduate and undergraduate degrees; students may earn
a minor, a bachelor of arts, a master’s degree, or a doctoral degree in criminal
justice and criminology. We have degree options to suit today’s students, with
our B.A. offered both on campus and online. With groundbreaking research,
renowned professors, and students who are making a difference, WSU is an
exciting place to pursue your education.
