Graduate student life<\/h1>\n

The Graduate Student Association at NAU invites CCJ criminology students to join us<\/h2>\n

In the program, graduate students participate in activities led by the departmental graduate student association (GSA). The GSA organizes social gatherings for students, sometimes on their own as students and other times with faculty to get to know each other outside of the classroom. The GSA also helps to coordinate workshops for students, such as planning a program of study or a thesis workshop. The criminology GSA also organizes and participates in community projects depending on the interest of its members.<\/p>\n

Northern Arizona University MS Criminology capstone projects<\/h3>\n

Students apply their advanced knowledge and skills about contemporary crime and justice issues through completion of an independent capstone project focused on research, teaching, or a justice agency. Through this experience, students work with expert faculty to develop a unique project while preparing for their chosen profession or career.<\/p>\n

The following examples illustrate the kinds of capstone projects completed by some of our recent criminology master\u2019s students.<\/p>\n
