Dixie State College to offer 3 new degree programs

ST. GEORGE (AP) — The Utah State Board of Regents has approved three new degree programs for Dixie State College.

Starting in the fall, Dixie State will offer bachelor's degrees in theater and clinical laboratory science and will offer a criminal justice emphasis in its four-year integrated studies program.

Dixie State President Stephen Nadauld says the degrees will offer more people in southern Utah a chance to get their education close to home.

School officials say the clinical science degree will offer the school an opportunity to expand the relationship with Dixie Regional Medical Center and that the criminal justice emphasis will offer students an opportunity to get involved in law enforcement.
