WSU's School of Community Affairs, created in 1999, brings together the departments of criminal justice, forensic science, and ethnic studies to form a unique and diverse curriculum to better serve the needs of students who will work in an ever-changing urban and global community.  Additionally, the Midwest Criminal Justice Institute and the Regional Community Policing Training Institute provide opportunities to blend teaching, research, and service.  As a result, the School of Community Affairs not only serves as a quality educational unit for students, but also functions as a research and service unit that assists with a broader range of needs identified in the community.
