The department of professional studies awards undergraduate degrees
in criminal justice, health systems, and organizational leadership,
as well as master's degrees in criminal justice, health administration,
human resources, professional counseling, and organizational leadership.
Through state-of-the-art curricula, we aspire to serve as a catalyst
for ongoing professional growth and development (i.e., lifelong
learning) which prepares our students most of them mid-career
professionals to be competent, creative, caring, and reflective
practitioners committed to making a positive difference in their
organizations and communities. Faculty in the department share a
conviction that theory and practice are inextricably intertwined,
and that the attainment of these goals can only be achieved in a
supportive student-centered climate which is truly conducive to
learning.
Master of Arts in Professional Counseling
The graduate program in professional counseling is designed to provide
the student with the academic and professional training necessary
to be a career counselor in higher education, business, or private
practice. The professional counseling program is designed for individuals
seeking positions in a variety of settings including colleges
and universities, business, industrial and organizational settings,
employment agencies, and private practice.
Criminal Justice
Bachelor of Arts
Who commits crime? Why does crime exist? What institutions deal
with crime, and what methods can they use? These questions and many
more will be covered in the study of criminal justice. The criminal
justice major focuses on theory, administration, methods, research,
and pragmatic analysis of various social, legal and penal systems,
institutions and issues. It offers both theoretical and applied
knowledge. Students in criminal justice may go on to graduate study
in criminal justice or law school, or may enter the job market in
a range of fields, including law enforcement, court and paralegal
occupations, corrections, and security. The degree also facilitates
promotions to mid-level management positions in criminal justice
organizations.
Students pursuing the criminal justice degree must receive at least
a C- in each of the core courses. Criminal Justice majors cannot
take a pass/no pass grade in any core major course.

action.
Social and Interdisciplinary Perspective. The ability to understand
the historical antecedents and current forces which shape our lives
and influence our beliefs and actions.
Multicultural and International Perspective. The ability to view
and appreciate the world from cultural perspectives other than our
own.
Ethical and Social Responsibility. The development of ethical values
that enhance human dignity and justice.
Self-Directed and Lifelong Learning. The development of an enhanced
sense of personal autonomy and initiative that flows from the process
of learning and a corresponding ability to define and pursue learning
needs throughout one's life.
Values-based Leadership. The development of an attitude and aptitude
for leadership which stresses inclusion, empowerment, and service
to others.
The program is ideally suited for students with strong interests
or experience in organizational administration or leadership. Depending
on the emphasis area chosen, students with degrees in organizational
leadership are prepared for entry- and mid-level supervisory positions
in a wide range of administrative careers or for graduate school
in a variety of academic disciplines. (Not all emphasis areas or
courses may be offered at all Centers.)

to complete the prerequisite requirements before the start of their
junior year. Transfer credits may be applied toward major requirements,

chair or designee. Students must attain at least a C+ (2.30) grade
point average in all required work with no course below a C- (1.70).

option exists.
The organizational leadership major consists of 48 credits of course
work, including 15 credits in a customized or pre-selected emphasis
area, and an integrative capstone, in which students synthesize
and apply what they have learned. The integrative project should
be completed toward the end of the student's program, but no earlier
