The School of Public Services began in 1971. In keeping with the University's motto, Education for Service, the School consolidated into one academic area the departments of Safety, Criminal Justice Administra- tion, Industrial Safety and Hygiene, the Missouri Safety Center, and the National Center for Criminal Justice Administration. The variety of public services courses and the number of students enrolled at the graduate, un- dergraduate, and non-degree levels represent one of the largest programs of its kind in the nation. lts unique laboratory facilities have been chosen to help illustrate how CMSU has developed special facilities to increase the ex- cellence of the School's program offerings, whether in degree offerings or non-degree programs through the Missouri Safety Center.
