I think they used the wrong wording. A lot of it is new concentrations. For example, they always had a bachelor's degree in psychology. However, they included the following in the press release: Bachelor of Science in Psychology – Criminal Justice Bachelor of Science in Psychology – Diversity and Inclusion Bachelor of Science in Psychology – Forensics Bachelor of Science in Psychology – Industrial/Organizational Bachelor of Science in Psychology – Mental Health
I am glad to see that CSU hasn't jacked up its tuition (at least not yet) since earning SACS accreditation in December 2022. Tuition is still low. Undergraduate $270 Graduate $349 Doctoral $545
I love that about them. (The low tuition). They are definitely on my list of potential schools. Especially if I can ever get selected for the Hero behind the Hero scholarship. That would be amazing.
It’s a professional doctorate. At CTU it’s a PhD. I knew Robert Mayes at CSU, if you wanna know a little history when it all started, the official school name was The University of Environmental Sciences Good luck!
