The Bachelor of Science in Public Health program prepares students for professional positions in public health agencies, community-based organizations, health care, tribal health, and international organizations. The curriculum is competency based in compliance with standards set by the Council on Education for Public Health and by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing. Graduates of the program will be eligible to take the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) national examination administered by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing.

The Master of Science in Health Services Administration is appropriate for students preparing to become health service administrators or managers in hospitals, health maintenance organizations, medical group clinic managers, nursing homes, public health departments, state and federal health agencies, military health services, or other health service organizations.
 
Graduate programs are designed specifically with the working student in mind. The majority of our classes are held in the late afternoon and evening hours. In addition, the university offers a limited number of summer classes. Applicants who do not have a health science background may take prerequisites for admission. These typically include introductory courses in health sciences and an introductory statistics course.

The Masters of Science in Clinical/Counseling Psychology is designed to develop practical skills in counseling through supervised training and experience, as well as knowledge and understanding of relevant subject matter and research methodology. A unique aspect of the program is that students provide therapy in their first year of training. Towards that end, the M.S. program operates an on-campus psychology clinic for clinical training and research purposes. The program culminates with internship experience and a thesis or comprehensive examination in the second year. Students receive close individual mentoring as only 12 students are admitted each year. The program is designed to meet the basic educational requirements of the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, which specifies the educational qualifications for licensure as marriage and family therapist (MFT) in the state of California.

This program is designed for students who wish to teach social science subjects in California’s schools, middle school through high school OR who wish to build a unique BA in Social Sciences program that suits their interests and professional goals.

FOR those interested in teaching, in addition to this coursework, students will have to pass 2 California pre-credential exams in order to be admitted into a Teaching Credential Program, post-BA: the California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET), which encompasses knowledge and understanding primarily of history, but also geography, economics, and political science and the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) which is comprised of three subtests: basic math, reading, and writing skills for individuals planning a career in teaching.  

The core discipline in the program is history, as that is the most widely taught social science subject in secondary schools. Students also choose a second concentration in one of the other three disciplines: geography, economics, or political science.  Students interested in pursuing Teaching are encouraged to see their Social Science advisor early in their program for assistance in choosing courses.

FOR those with interests outside of teaching in multidisciplinary and individualized programs, this program is also designed for students with a varied set of academic and career interests. Students develop skills in areas that are deemed crucial in a wide array of contemporary professions: Globalism, Multiculturalism and Intercultural Fluency, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Oral and Written Communication, Teamwork and Collaboration and Professionalism and Work Ethic. For students interested in the multidisciplinary and individualized programs, it is recommended that you first meet with an Academic Advisor in order to develop your program. All multidisciplinary and individualized programs must be approved by the BA in Social Sciences Coordinator.

Additionally, students looking to enhance their career prospects may elect to complete up to 6 units of SSCI 5750 Internship and 6 units of SSCI 5950 Independent Studies, for a total of 3 - 12 units, with the consent of the Program Coordinator.

As prerequisites for acceptance into the B.A. in Child Development, students must complete the following as a "Pre-child development major." Upon completion of the requirements, the student's major will be changed automatically from "Pre-child development" to "Child development" status.

There are two concentrations within the Child Development B.A. These are Early Childhood Education and Child and Adolescent Development. Students must select one of the concentrations when they declare Child Development as their major. These concentrations conform to the Transfer Model for early childhood education and child development degrees.

Upon successful completion of pre-major requirements, student’s major will be changed automatically from “Pre-ICA” to “ICA” status. Following formal entrance to the major, students must select a concentration: A) Geographic Information Systems; B) Cyber Security; C) Homeland Security.  Then, students may proceed with upper-division courses.
