Comprehensive examinations mark one of the final student assessments within doctoral programs. Despite the presumed importance of this process, little is known about how it is carried out within the field of criminology and criminal justice. This study examined the structure of comprehensive exams in relevant doctoral programs. The findings reveal considerable variation in how programs organize comprehensive exams. This variation might suggest that programs vary in the objectives they associate with the comprehensive exam process, though other explanations are possible. The discipline may need to open a dialogue on the goals and objectives driving these processes to better understand their fit within doctoral education
