[00:00:09.390]Welcome to our college session.
[00:00:30.480]The College of Public Affairs and Community Service
[00:00:33.690]is administered through the University of Nebraska at Omaha,
[00:00:37.230]but offers programs and courses on the Lincoln Campus
[00:00:40.530]as well as the Omaha campus.
[00:00:44.040]We will focus
[00:00:44.873]on the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice,
[00:00:47.430]which offers the entire Bachelor of Science program
[00:00:50.670]on the Lincoln Campus as well as in Omaha.
[00:00:54.330]We are one nationally ranked program
[00:00:59.160]on two campuses, UNO and UNL.
[00:01:07.920]We're happy to have you here today
[00:01:10.290]for new student orientation.
[00:01:13.020]You may be at any point
[00:01:14.760]of your new student enrollment process.
[00:01:17.550]You may have already been advised and enrolled,
[00:01:20.940]or have an advising appointment coming up to get enrolled,
[00:01:25.050]or need to schedule an advising appointment.
[00:01:31.260]Session topics will include resources and support,
[00:01:35.670]criminology and criminal justice information,
[00:01:38.610]including experiential opportunities,
[00:01:42.330]criminal justice careers, program requirements,
[00:01:47.880]and we want to make sure and answer all of your questions.
[00:01:54.720]This is an exciting time
[00:01:56.160]that it is a transition from your past experiences.
[00:01:59.790]It's natural to feel a little overwhelmed,
[00:02:02.340]but remember, you have a lot of support and resources
[00:02:05.550]to help you be successful.
[00:02:07.860]Take advantage of both on-campus and family support.
[00:02:12.900]We encourage parents or guardians and students
[00:02:16.440]to support each other through open and honest communication
[00:02:19.980]about how college is going, both academically and socially.
[00:02:24.930]This is the transition for all of you
[00:02:27.300]to a new adult relationship.
[00:02:30.180]As a student, you're protected
[00:02:31.830]by the Family Rights and Privacy Act,
[00:02:34.230]which prevents us from sharing information
[00:02:36.870]without your consent.
[00:02:39.090]Students can grant access to selected information in MyRED.
[00:02:47.940]You already had a session
[00:02:49.350]on the Center for Academic Success and Transition,
[00:02:53.160]or abbreviated CAST.
[00:02:55.890]All students typically need assistance
[00:02:58.290]at one time or another,
[00:02:59.880]and we highly encourage you to take advantage
[00:03:02.520]of this free resource,
[00:03:04.710]which includes academic coaching, success workshops,
[00:03:08.910]peer mentors, study stops,
[00:03:12.540]free tutoring, and study spaces.
[00:03:15.660]You may review information or schedule an appointment
[00:03:18.720]at success.unl.edu.

[00:04:17.490]so an office you'll typically be visiting.
[00:04:26.790]There are many important websites
[00:04:28.620]you may want to bookmark on your computer.
[00:04:33.600]My.unl.edu
[00:04:36.930]accesses critical UNL systems such as Canvas,
[00:04:42.630]which instructors use to post course material,
[00:04:45.690]announcements, course syllabi, assignments, grades.
[00:04:51.717]MyRED is the student information system

[00:05:00.150]billing, final grades, messages, your degree audit.
[00:05:06.570]The Student Success Hub
[00:05:08.130]is where you'll schedule appointments with advisors.
[00:05:11.760]You would want to make future appointments
[00:05:13.830]with your academic advisor in early October
[00:05:17.460]to plan for spring semester schedule.
[00:05:22.230]You'll receive information
[00:05:23.790]from the New Student Enrollment Office
[00:05:25.950]the day after you enroll
[00:05:28.350]with instructions on setting up your Huskers email.
[00:05:32.940]This is really important,
[00:05:34.620]and so do that as soon as possible.
[00:05:37.590]You'll receive very important information
[00:05:40.980]at your Huskers email.

[00:05:59.010]so you want to be aware of those.
[00:06:01.200]You'll also want to see your advisor to change enrollment,
[00:06:04.680]or drop, or withdraw, or pass,
[00:06:07.770]change a grade option to pass/no pass.
[00:06:17.160]Undergraduate Catalog lists degree requirements,
[00:06:21.630]course descriptions, ACE information and courses,
[00:06:26.130]prerequisites, minors,
[00:06:29.190]Understanding the degree requirements
[00:06:31.110]is your responsibility, but you'll want to see your advisor
[00:06:34.440]for assistance before you enroll each semester.
[00:06:38.820]The ACE website gives information
[00:06:41.580]about Achievement-Centered Education requirements.
[00:06:44.940]These requirements assure that all UNL majors
[00:06:48.000]include specific knowledge and/or skills
[00:06:51.300]in their degree program
[00:06:52.950]by completing at least one course

[00:09:05.820]The London Study Abroad Tour
[00:09:08.610]has been offered for over 40 years.
[00:09:11.670]In class, students compare the criminal justice system
[00:09:15.780]in the UK and in the US.
[00:09:18.330]After the spring class is completed,
[00:09:20.370]in late May and early June, students travel to London
[00:09:26.610]for 10 to 12 days of international experience
[00:09:30.480]studying legal systems in England.
[00:09:35.700]Students may also wish to complete a full semester abroad.
[00:09:42.450]Can work with the Global Experiences Office
[00:09:45.390]to choose from over 70 countries around the world to study.
[00:09:50.520]You'd wanna work with your advisor to pre-approve credit
[00:09:53.940]so that you know how credit will apply toward your degree.
[00:09:58.560]A couple of our students,
[00:09:59.610]Morgan enjoying her education abroad semester in Australia,
[00:10:06.060]Alex spent a semester in Rome.
[00:10:13.680]The Criminal Justice Student Association
[00:10:16.140]is a student-run organization

[00:10:24.090]promotes educational and social interaction among students
[00:10:28.080]interested in criminal justice topics.
[00:10:30.810]It's a great way to network
[00:10:32.520]and meet other criminal justice students
[00:10:34.590]who have interests similar to yours.
[00:10:40.440]Dr. Anne Hobbs
[00:10:41.520]is the Director of the Juvenile Justice Institute.
[00:10:45.000]She is able to offer a class
[00:10:50.250]in juvenile mentoring.
[00:10:51.660]This is a wonderful opportunity for students
[00:10:54.780]to learn a lot about working with the juvenile population
[00:10:59.010]and then serve as a mentor.
[00:11:01.380]It is a two-semester commitment.
[00:11:03.090]Students receive six hours of credit
[00:11:05.340]for the juvenile mentoring class.
[00:11:07.830]She also has some internship opportunities available
[00:11:11.100]in the Juvenile Justice Institute.
[00:11:16.530]There are other research opportunities.
[00:11:18.990]We have a research internship class
[00:11:24.060]where students earn three hours of credit,
[00:11:27.810]have the opportunity to work alongside
[00:11:30.390]our criminal justice faculty
[00:11:32.370]who are leading experts and evaluators
[00:11:34.890]in criminology and criminal justice.
[00:11:37.440]Students, you would complete a total
[00:11:39.270]of 156 hours of research
[00:11:44.160]and receive three credit hours.
[00:11:46.530]There are some scholarship opportunities available.
[00:11:50.070]Dr. Hobbs also has opportunities
[00:11:52.230]for research in the Juvenile Justice Institute.
[00:11:58.140]We have a very comprehensive
[00:11:59.790]criminal justice internship program.
[00:12:02.490]This is an invaluable experience for students
[00:12:05.220]to get into an agency,
[00:12:07.260]see if that's an area of interest to work,
[00:12:10.770]get references, networking.
[00:12:13.770]We have over 50 participating criminal justice agencies,
[00:12:18.240]an internship coordinator
[00:12:19.800]that assists students with placement.
[00:12:23.280]You would receive three hours of credit
[00:12:26.310]applicable in the major area for the internship.
[00:12:30.690]You could do two internships for credit
[00:12:33.270]if interested in having the opportunity
[00:12:35.670]to work in two different criminal justice agencies.
[00:12:43.380]Students have the opportunity to connect with experts
[00:12:46.890]in our State of the Agency Lecture Series
[00:12:50.940]career and internship fairs, pre-law opportunities,
[00:12:55.440]guest speakers in classes.
[00:13:04.020]Our students study theories of criminology,
[00:13:06.750]learn about the criminal justice system as a whole,
[00:13:09.960]as well as take classes
[00:13:11.490]that cover a variety of crime and justice issues.
[00:13:15.240]Consequently, there are a wide variety
[00:13:18.090]of career opportunities that students may consider.
[00:13:21.630]There is also a lot of advancement potential as well.
[00:13:28.410]May work in corrections,
[00:13:31.620]such as community corrections opportunities,
[00:13:35.295]correctional casework, advancing into administrative levels
[00:13:40.140]within correctional agencies.
[00:13:42.180]This could be at the juvenile or the adult level.
[00:13:44.970]Parole officers, warden.
[00:13:50.430]Many students complete our degree
[00:13:53.070]with the intent to continue with law school,
[00:13:55.770]become an attorney.
[00:13:57.900]Other areas within courts and law
[00:14:00.090]such as court administrator, drug courts coordinator,
[00:14:03.630]investigator in law offices, legal assistant,
[00:14:08.100]pretrial services officer, probation officers.
[00:14:15.000]Law enforcement is a big area of interest,
[00:14:17.580]whether that be city, county, or state law enforcement.
[00:14:23.100]Then, often wanting to advance into specialized divisions
[00:14:27.450]or become detectives or investigators,
[00:14:30.450]advance into high level administrative positions
[00:14:34.590]such as police chiefs, sheriffs.
[00:14:37.860]Also may want to move over
[00:14:40.230]into federal law enforcement agencies.
[00:14:43.590]These are typically fairly competitive,
[00:14:45.810]so may need some experience in a state or local agency
[00:14:50.100]prior to working in a federal law enforcement agency.
[00:14:59.190]Victim services, this may be a crime prevention coordinator,
[00:15:03.660]crisis center coordinator,
[00:15:05.700]domestic violence advocate or counselor,
[00:15:08.730]victim witness services coordinator.
[00:15:13.800]Juvenile justice, such as a child protection service worker,
[00:15:19.620]group home worker, juvenile detention specialist,
[00:15:23.250]juvenile diversion specialist,
[00:15:25.710]or advancing into administrative levels
[00:15:28.650]within a juvenile services agency.
[00:15:36.450]May want to do investigation within regulatory agencies.
[00:15:40.440]These are typically state or federal agencies,
[00:15:43.830]so may need some experience in order to move
[00:15:47.640]into these types of investigative opportunities.
[00:15:55.530]Private security,
[00:15:57.300]such as loss prevention specialist or manager,
[00:16:00.570]private investigator, private security officer or manager,
[00:16:05.130]insurance investigator,
[00:16:07.020]security director in an agency or a company.
[00:16:14.252]Or may want to do advanced education
[00:16:18.420]and do research or teach.
[00:16:22.890]Typically, might need a master's degree or a PhD
[00:16:26.160]for this kind of work.
[00:16:34.260]I wanna focus on criminology
[00:16:36.720]and criminal justice requirements
[00:16:39.060]for the Bachelor of science on the UNL campus.
[00:16:46.620]Students will typically within the first three semesters
[00:16:50.760]or the first 45 credit hours include following requirements:
[00:16:56.250]English composition courses,
[00:16:58.980]the entry-level criminal justice courses,
[00:17:03.540]may explore areas for a concentration or minor area,
[00:17:09.090]and we would review math background
[00:17:11.190]to be sure that prerequisites are met
[00:17:14.130]for our statistics requirement.
[00:17:19.230]This is a summary of all requirements
[00:17:21.570]for the Bachelor of Science
[00:17:23.130]in Criminology and Criminal Justice.
[00:17:25.350]It's a total of 120 credit hours.
[00:17:29.490]We also include
[00:17:31.050]the 10 Achievement-Centered Education requirements.
[00:17:35.970]There are nine hours
[00:17:37.290]or three courses in English composition.
[00:17:41.040]ACE 1 is a writing outcome.
[00:17:43.890]So, if completing a basic English composition course,
[00:17:48.870]ACE 1 would also be complete.
[00:17:52.740]Social sciences, nine credit hours or three courses
[00:17:56.310]selected from a variety of department areas,
[00:17:59.970]two courses or seven hours in natural science.
[00:18:03.540]One course must include a lab,
[00:18:07.380]which would complete ACE 4,
[00:18:09.360]the other one can be a non-lab course.
[00:18:12.900]12 hours in humanities and fine arts.
[00:18:17.130]Those include three ACE requirements,
[00:18:19.920]ACE 2 is a oral communication,
[00:18:22.620]ACE 5 is a humanities, ACE 7 is an arts.
[00:18:26.400]The last humanities main course or fine arts
[00:18:30.630]can complete that requirement.
[00:18:34.410]Three hours in statistics,
[00:18:37.410]which would complete our ACE 3,
[00:18:40.050]which is the only quantitative
[00:18:41.820]or math-type course required for this degree.
[00:18:46.590]40 hours in criminology and criminal justice.
[00:18:50.040]There are some specific required courses,
[00:18:52.710]both at the lower and the upper division.
[00:18:55.380]You also include several ACE courses.
[00:18:58.740]ACE Intro Criminal Justice is an ACE 6,
[00:19:02.130]Race, Ethnicity, and Justice is an ACE 9 diversity course,
[00:19:07.170]and ACE 10 is a creative or scholarly product.
[00:19:11.640]And our internship is recommended
[00:19:14.910]and would fulfill the ACE 10 requirement in the major.
[00:19:21.600]You'd select a concentration area of 18 hours.
[00:19:26.340]May want to integrate an official minor within that area.
[00:19:31.230]And 22 hours of electives.
[00:19:35.400]Also, within that 120 hours,
[00:19:37.470]students would include an Ethics Civics ACE 8 course.
[00:19:46.860]To explain the concentration a little further,
[00:19:49.200]criminology and criminal justice majors
[00:19:51.330]are required to include a concentration in your program.
[00:19:55.710]18 credit hours with 12 hours at the upper division,
[00:19:59.280]300 or 400 level.
[00:20:01.830]The concentration is like a minor,
[00:20:04.260]but minors require specific requirements,
[00:20:08.310]and minors are also official and recorded on the transcript
[00:20:12.750]while concentration would not appear on the transcript.
[00:20:17.220]In many instances, it's very easy to integrate a minor
[00:20:20.640]into the concentration, and we can help you do that.
[00:20:27.150]May want to choose
[00:20:28.200]from any number of areas For the concentration area.
[00:20:31.440]You may choose an area to benefit career goals
[00:20:35.070]or just an area of interest.
[00:20:37.980]May be interested in a foreign language,
[00:20:40.140]or English, or speech communication,
[00:20:43.080]business, or maybe in the ROTC program,
[00:20:46.020]so those courses can complete the concentration requirement.
[00:20:50.790]Or psychology, sociology, political science,
[00:20:54.480]national security studies, ethnic studies,
[00:20:58.170]child, youth & family studies, gerontology.
[00:21:03.330]Students are not limited to these particular areas,
[00:21:06.780]but may consider some of these.
[00:21:10.230]We just suggest that students
[00:21:14.820]plan early and include courses of interest
[00:21:19.170]in early semesters,
[00:21:21.240]and also consider prerequisites
[00:21:23.700]for the 12 hours of upper level.
[00:21:27.630]Integrating a minor into the concentration is optional,
[00:21:31.080]however many times students will do that.
[00:21:34.980]With 22 hours of electives,
[00:21:37.380]if there are a couple of areas of interest
[00:21:40.020]may even consider a second minor.
[00:21:47.190]A typical first semester schedule
[00:21:50.100]would include about 15 credit hours or five courses,
[00:21:54.960]however can be adjusted based on student needs.
[00:22:00.360]Might include an English composition course,
[00:22:03.570]intro criminal justice, a social science course,
[00:22:10.020]possibly an ACE requirement
[00:22:13.410]like an ACE 5 humanities,
[00:22:15.150]or an ACE 7 arts, or an ACE 8 ethics course.
[00:22:18.570]Could also include an elective
[00:22:20.790]or explore for a concentration area,
[00:22:24.150]or if in a learning community
[00:22:26.670]may be required to do a learning community course
[00:22:29.820]or an ROTC course.
[00:22:32.040]So, even in the first semester,
[00:22:34.230]there are some flexibility with your courses
[00:22:39.360]that you include in a first semester.
[00:22:44.790]You're required to complete
[00:22:46.590]the SCCJ Start Smart orientation course
[00:22:50.730]before your first semester classes begin.
[00:22:54.180]This course will help make your transition
[00:22:56.580]to the university successful.
[00:22:58.740]It includes a review of this session information,
[00:23:02.520]expands on opportunities,
[00:23:04.800]and has detailed information on how to use UNL's systems
[00:23:08.790]such as Canvas, MyRED, and the Student Success Hub.
[00:23:14.400]In early August, you will receive an email
[00:23:17.850]to your Huskers email from the school
[00:23:21.240]that indicates you have access
[00:23:23.220]to the SCCJ Start Smart orientation course in Canvas.
