Dr. Susan C. Craig
PhD, Pennsylvania State University
Susan C. Craig received her Bachelor of Science in Individual and Family Studies, a Master's in Counselor Education, and a PhD in Administration of Justice from Pennsylvania State University. During her doctoral studies, Dr. Craig spent a year working at a women's state correctional institution. While at the prison she assumed the duties of supervising counselor and created the first therapeutic community for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse inside a prison-a milestone in rehabilitation that continues in operation to this day. About the same time, she developed an interest in computers, and this led to her teaching administration of justice courses at Penn State, where she introduced several computer projects into the regular classroom. Dr. Craig's father was a judge in Pennsylvania, and it was that connection which led to her interest in the criminal justice system. She has been actively engaged in teaching and working in the areas of counseling, corrections, and computers-a career that has spanned over 30 years in higher education. In 1998 Dr. Craig left Penn State to work with a private college in South Florida as Chair of the School of Criminal Justice. In the fall of 2003 she joined the adjunct faculty of the School of Graduate Studies at Norwich University.
