Abstract
ABSTRACT
Best practices for graduate student education and training has been under recent scrutiny, especially as universities are looking for methods of improving their programs. A method of demonstrating proficient and successful programs is providing evidence of successful alumni. This study will provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis of an alumni survey of a criminology doctoral program from a mid-sized university in the Northeast. With the results, we intend to highlight not only the successes of the alumni, but also potential lessons that other doctoral programs can apply to enhance future successes with their graduates.
