The University at Albany, SUNY School of Criminal Justice (SCJ) is a school of the University at Albany, SUNY, offering both undergraduate and graduate programs in criminal justice. It was established in 1968, as a result of the desire of then-New York governor Nelson Rockefeller to create a research and education program centered around crime. It offered the first criminal justice doctoral program in the United States. In 2006, this program was ranked the 2nd best criminology doctoral program in the country by U.S. News and World Report.
