Old Dominion University

Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice Institute for Community Justice International State Crime Research Center The Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice offers a number of different opportunities to our undergraduate and graduate students. Our faculty are among the most talented teachers and researchers in their fields. They have earned the respect of students and colleagues across the world.  In addition to staying current in their areas of interest, many have published books, won prestigious teaching and research awards, and received funding for their research and teaching endeavors.  The faculty are committed to working with students both in and out of the classroom. In some courses, our students are given the opportunity to collaborate with faculty on a variety of projects.  Two student groups housed in our department--the ODU chapter of the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice and In Support of Children--have made their mark on campus and are regularly involved in extra-curricular activities throughout the year. Dozens of students are also members of Alpha Phi Sigma and Alpha Kappa Delta, honors societies for criminal justice and sociology respectively. Perhaps most importantly, our graduates report great success in finding their chosen careers. To help in this endeavor, we host a Sociology and Criminal Justice Career Fair every year. Some students have even reported being offered jobs on the spot at the fair!
