I have completed my MA but I wouldn't mind retaking some courses to better assimilate with the faculty/program at UC. The length of a phd at cincy is dependent on you. It can be done in 4 with a masters, and I know someone that took 7 years to get it without one. If you have an MA I would not suggest retaking classes as you'll learn everything again your first year. altikr25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liesandfish Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 ACJS: how does meeting up after the posters on Friday night sound?

1428 Elm St Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 @GradStudent2016 COngrats!!!! That's great!!! As far as ACJS... I am not going this year but I am 90% sure that I will be there next year. I really hope to be able to meet up with some of you guys... Two of my mentors are going this year though... Dr. Eric Piza and Dr. Maki Haberfeld. I know that Dr. Haberfeld will be sitting at the Carolina Academic Press Table on Thursday (3/31) from 2-3pm. She is an amazing person to sit and talk with (former Lt in the Israeli National Police) and an amazing policing and terrorism expert (also serving in the Israeli Defense Services in a counter-terrorist unit). For anyone interested in crime mapping/GIS/crime analysis/environmental crim... Dr. Piza is an amazing source to sit an talk with. Both of them are incredible and super easy to talk to and come from such diverse backgrounds (especially in training and their backgrounds, etc.)... On that note.. hope to finally get to meet some of you at this event next year!! GradStudent2016 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking into housing, but I'm not quite sure where the best places to live are. I heard the gaslight district was a great area to live, but that's about it. Any suggestions?

I would strongly oppose living in the gaslight district. I lived there for most of my undergrad and part of my grad and unless you are drinking all the time or don't mind loud and crazy people until the wee hours of the morning, avoid it like the plague. Apartments off campus, namely Hyde Park (close to school and great area), would be a much better option. Of course this is my $.02. I've been in Cincy for 29 years but as always, your mileage may vary. Edited March 23, 2016 by Partinrn GradStudent2016 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they want people staying longer than that! You will have to take courses for sure, it's a requirement! You might be able to get some of your credits recognized though.. I am interested in neuropsychology and sex offending, and personality traits of sex offenders and other violent offenders! if you have any other questions send me a msg! Hope I can help!

judiths Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hey i got finally off the waiting list and got accepted at rutgers I'm so happy !!! My first choice university!! phdincrim2016, KnowVac and liesandfish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowVac Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hey all! I just got back from my visit to IU and I formally accepted my offer from Indiana today. I was really impressed with the department and the direction that it seems to be heading. I just kind of wanted to update on here for two reasons: (1) I hope that I can meet with all of you at future conferences, it would be nice to meet everyone who has been so helpful throughout this entire process! And (2) I hope that next year's applicants who are feverishly re-reading our time capsule of sorts next year, might find some information on IU's program helpful (as there seemed to be a lack of that for me this year!) IU's program has really been restructured in the past few years and a lot of new faculty have been and are being brought in. They will have two new faculty members this year and a very exciting prospect for the following year! I was very impressed with the comradery of the program's current students and also, the diversity of interests within the department. Additionally, interdisciplinary research is encouraged and in fact required, as all phd students must have a minor outside of the department-choosing from top programs like IU's sociology and history departments. The impression I got is that most students that are accepted to the program are fully funded. To to my fellow forum mates: thanks for all of your help and free counseling this application season! I would've gone insane without y'all and I look forward to meeting you guys and possibly working with you all in the future! phdincrim2016 and liesandfish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
