Maddan, Dr. Claudia San Miguel, Dr. Tom Mitchell and Dr. Pablo Arenaz proudly gathered to announce the new criminal justice doctorate program will start Fall 2021.Christian Alejandro Ocampo /Laredo Morning Times After a 10-year process, TAMIU’s second doctoral degree program is now an avenue available for criminal justice students who want to take the next step after receiving their masters. The course will begin to be offered this fall and will take advantage of the university’s location of being in a border city. According to TAMIU President Dr. Pablo Arenaz, the 10-year process was an impressive feat by the criminal justice faculty as their proposal sailed through the coordinating board, which resulted in a faster-than-usual approval. He added that the speed has been the quickest he has seen at both institutions that he has been apart of, and it is the result of the quality of the faculty and the unique factors surrounding the program.
