International and Cultural Scholarship and Education
Michigan State University has a long history and contemporary excellence in global engagement and international scholarship. Similarly, the School of Criminal Justice is committed to excellence in international scholarship. This is evident in our Study Abroad programs, faculty research, and the composition of our student body. The School is the home of the International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justice, the official journal of the International Division of the American Society of Criminology. Each year we host the Dae Chang International Visiting Scholar program that brings an exceptional international scholar to campus. Our graduate student body includes students from Australia, China, India, Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, with new additions each year and alumni in every continent. Our faculty and students are engaged in research and study in many countries in Africa, Asia and Europe and are pursuing new initiatives that will expand this list. As many have recognized, globally focused education and research is paramount for the 21st Century. MSU provides unparalled opportunities for global scholarship.
