Dear Incoming Criminal Justice and Public Administration Students,

You have made the noble decision to get a degree in criminal justice or public administration, which will be the start of a rewarding career in public service. Whether you choose to pursue a career in law, law enforcement, city planning, public office, or in the non-profit sector, you all share a commitment and concern for achieving equitable and ethical social, institutional and built environments. Our School's vision is to become the leading institution of higher education for the public sector in the Southern California region; successfully train public service professionals to manage and implement public policy, and to develop a critical awareness of the local, border and global dynamics that impact our urban environments. You are our School's future and will play a crucial role in helping us achieve this.
The School of Public Affairs recently celebrated its 50 th
anniversary. Our School has long provided undergraduate students with internship, community-based research and study abroad opportunities in the criminal justice and public administration fields. You are now beginning the journey that thousands have embarked on since 1968. After graduation, you will join our distinguished alumni, who have served our County and country as city managers, attorneys, judges, CEOs, professors, chiefs of police, researchers, and more. You can count on them, and our faculty and staff, to support you in your undergraduate studies.

Undergraduate Programs
Criminal Justice
The criminal justice program at San Diego State University is designed to encourage thoughtful
exploration of the ways that criminal justice systems provide "justice", or fail to do so. The
program also studies criminal justice from a social justice perspective, allowing for the
examination of policy issues as diverse as genocide, institutionalized racism, organized crime,
and environmental destruction, in addition to traditional criminal justice issues.
The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice appeals to students who are interested in working
in the fields of law, law enforcement, probation and parole, corrections or other social service
agencies. This degree also prepares students for law school or graduate school in either
criminal justice or a related field.
Public Administration
In an increasingly complex world, the nation is in need of effective leadership and competence
in the administration of public affairs. The growth of all levels of government and public
service organizations and their increasing responsibilities in a complex society have led to the
need for more capable public administrators.The undergraduate public administration major
is an interdisciplinary program. In addition to the courses taken within the department,
students select additional courses in areas as diverse as economics, sociology, social welfare,
political science, and psychology. The primary purpose of the public administration major is
to provide knowledge and skills for students who wish to prepare themselves for management
careers in government, community agencies, private not-for-profit organizations, planning and
consulting firms, and private sector organizations that work in partnership with the public
sector.

Project Rebound
Project Rebound
Under the leadership of Chancellor Timothy White and the Board of Trustees, the
California State University (CSU) launched a groundbreaking initiative to significantly
expand college access for current and formerly incarcerated people. Eight CSU
campuses - including San Diego State - are participating in the replication of San
Francisco State's award-winning Project Rebound.
Project Rebound is a special admissions and support program for students
transitioning out of prison. It has helped hundreds of individuals earn bachelor's and
master's degrees since 1967. Project Rebound has a proven model to promote
restorative justice, reduce recidivism, and empower individuals through higher
education.
SDSU Professor Alan Mobley is directing a team of faculty, staff, and students who
will assist participants. In addition to serving returning students, Project Rebound
also provides formerly incarcerated students an opportunity to II give back" by
collaborating on justice solutions.
"Traditional students will gain a deeper understanding of the causes and conditions
that give rise to crime," said Mobley. "Students will learn restorative justice practices
alongside justice-involved students to find ways out of the 'revolving door' of justice
system involvement."
Each university has developed a campus-based re-entry program to help individuals
prepare for college, apply for admission, enroll, persist, and graduate ready to enter
the workforce. SDSU's Project Rebound includes the on- and off-campus networks
required for prospective and enrolled students to succeed.
Participating CSU campuses and partners formed a learning community to serve
students pre- and post-release. Project Rebound partners share results and
disseminate best practices to other campuses and college systems. As the largest
four-year university system in the country, the CSU has the potential to further
develop the knowledge and research of campus-based reentry programs. These
initiatives can also reduce crime, improve public safety, restore communities
devastated by mass incarceration, and reverse the "school to prison pipeline."
