CUNY CONSORTIUM

CUNY is part of the Interuniversity Doctoral Consortium, which provides for cross-registration among member institutions. In preparation for registration, please take note of the information on this Consortium, found through the GC website here.

In obtaining the required 60 credits of courses required for the doctorate, at least one three-credit course must be taken at any one of the CUNY doctoral programs. This course taken outside the Doctoral Program in Criminal Justice can be part of the student's specialization or an elective.

* Note to incoming students: First-year students are not eligible, but do keep it in mind for your future doctoral study.
