TU to launch second doctoral program

TIFFIN — Tiffin University will launch its second doctoral program, a Doctor of Criminal Justice (DCJ), beginning the fall semester of 2025. The DCJ will be offered in a blended format, with online coursework and required on-campus residencies. The program, designed to be flexible for working professionals, is set up to offer the convenience of online learning while also providing opportunities for face-to-face interactions during two three-day, on-campus residencies. Students can choose from specialized tracks in leadership and administration, forensic psychology or teaching criminal justice in higher education, allowing them to tailor their education to specific career aspirations and emerging needs in the criminal justice system. The program culminates in an applied research project that addresses real-world issues in the criminal justice field, instead of a traditional dissertation. This hands-on project allows students to immediately apply their learning to their current workplace or community, ensuring practical, impactful outcomes.
