Twenty-seven??? Wowza

 

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.

 

Definitely one of the best values especially now that they have earned RA.

 

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!
