We offered 57 undergraduate degrees and 22 graduate degree programs. New graduate programs started this year include a Master's in Christian Counseling, Master's in Public Safety, and a doctorate in Educational Leadership.CSU offers more than 800 courses, and approximately 400 are available online. Deans and senior administrators are continually in touch with local employers and we are striving to develop new programs to increase workforce readiness through internships. Continuous campus growth is evident; the new Residence Hall opened this year, the Physical Therapy addition to the Health Science Building is almost complete, and we are in the planning stages of another academic building. CSU continues to partner with local, regional and state organizations. Our faculty members are actively involved with Trident United Way Literacy program and the Cradle to Career programs as well as the Lowcountry STEM Collaborative, and international companies with a local presence.The School of Education has also partnered with local private high schools to offer dual enrollment to students who are interested in transferring to CSU after they graduate from high school. This year our Teacher Cadet program grew to 215 students enrolled, one of the largest programs in the state. CSU received SACSCOC regional accreditation authorization to begin a doctoral program housed in the College of Education which also resulted in a Level Change for the University. We had on-site accreditation reviews by SACSCOC and the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). CSU was also accredited by the NC-SARA organization which allows our online courses to be transferred nationwide to other accredited institutions.Each year the number of both undergraduate and graduate degrees offered increases. The College of Business received accreditation from the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE) for the Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership program, and we also developed and implemented a new BS in Engineering degree as well as a BS in Supply Chain Management.The Experiential Learning Initiative (ELI) provides our undergraduate students with opportunities to obtain work experience through an internship program. It is part of our Quality Enhancement Program required by regional accreditation and integrates clinical-based, practicum experience and non-traditional learning opportunities for all undergraduate students. Through the ELI program, CSU has continued to build a network of outside partners in public and private businesses and the students are greatly benefitting from participation in the program, which is now a graduation requirement.We have enhanced the services of our Global Education office by increasing the number of international partnerships with overseas universities.
