Among the additions, the university expanded its human services concentration to four degree programs, including the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Administration.

Brittany Brooks, Ph.D., a full-time instructor at CSU, noted that the program provides students with an opportunity to understand the intersection between the criminal justice system and helping professions.

The program was developed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills needed to work with people affected by crime, incarceration, substance use, trauma, domestic violence and other social challenges.

University officials said the program was created in response to current trends in justice reform and growing demand for professionals prepared to serve in community service, victim advocacy, rehabilitation and social support roles.
