This is a light-hearted post. When Texas State University announced their online DBA program, they claimed that it was the first 100% online DBA in Texas. That wasn't true. UIW made their DBA available online in 2017. I just saw a LinkedIn ad from ASU claiming that they now have the first criminal justice doctoral program at a public university. I don't know what that's supposed to mean. LOL. Do they mean the first online DCJ at a public university? Yeah, they don't have that either. PennWest (formerly California University of Pennsylvania) beat them by like six or seven years.

I had never heard of PennWest, but know of at least 3 DCJs...
Perhaps they just mean in Arizona?

The PennWest campuses are a combination of 3 different universities that sail under the same banner. I've been to the PennWest - Clarion campus a few times up in north PA.
There are 2 festivities which I obsess over: 1. Groundhog Day 2. and the Autumn Leaf Festival. The Autumn Leaf Festival is actively happening right now outside the PennWest - Clarion campus. The craft fair hosted there, if I remember, is one of the largest that takes place along the east coast. The craft show/fair stretches along the main street of downtown Clarion. Tons of vendors and food trucks. Clarion is also a beautiful area as well and worth exploring for those that have an appreciation for the outdoors since it sits JUST underneath the Allegheny National Forest.

Yes, they combined three schools. The DCJ was at California. I could never figure out if PennWest has a main address or if they intend to never have a main address. Google defaults to the California address. They do have the largest student body of the three.

PennWest is what Pennsylvania did to combine several state colleges into one. I am an alumni of one of them - Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Now it is PennWest Edinboro. It retained the mascot and colors (red plaid), they just now share some of the administrative roles. Some of the smaller programs might have been combined to a specific campus.
I will likely still just call it Edinboro rather than PennWest.
