[00:06:44.698]as the London Study Abroad program.
[00:06:47.480]This is a short term faculty LED study abroad.
[00:06:52.600]We offer this each spring semester with travel in May.
[00:06:59.200]Students interested in an attire semester or summer abroad may
[00:07:03.618]work with the Global Experiences Office and your academic advisor
[00:07:08.248]to pre approve credit to be sure courses will apply to a degree
[00:07:12.737]when taken abroad.
[00:07:18.240]Our criminal justice student organization is very active,
[00:07:21.778]involved in a lot of interesting things.
[00:07:24.280]We highly recommend our students join the organization for social
[00:07:29.340]activities, tours.
[00:07:30.920]You might sponsor speakers or a variety of other exciting
[00:07:36.637]opportunities through the Juvenile Justice Institute.
[00:07:41.960]Doctor Ann Hobbs, who is the director, is able to offer our
[00:07:45.176]students a juvenile mentoring class.
[00:07:47.800]Here you would learn a lot about working with juveniles and
[00:07:52.657]understanding juveniles.
[00:07:54.600]And you're assigned A mentees so you serve as a mentor for two
[00:08:00.019]semesters.
[00:08:00.920]You would receive six hours of credit for the juvenile
[00:08:04.390]mentoring class.
[00:08:08.040]If interested in research, may also do research through the
[00:08:13.281]Juvenile Justice Institute.
[00:08:15.640]Or we also have research internships where you could work
[00:08:20.638]alongside our faculty experts in a variety of research projects.
[00:08:29.840]We have a very comprehensive internship program with
[00:08:34.000]internships established in over 50 agencies in Lincoln and the
[00:08:38.945]surrounding area.
[00:08:40.840]We have an internship coordinator, Doctor Chris
[00:08:43.245]Eskridge, who would assist with placement.
[00:08:45.400]Students can apply through our our School of Criminology and
[00:08:49.677]Criminal Justice, and Doctor Eskridge would assist with
[00:08:53.603]placement three hours of credit for each internship.
[00:08:57.320]Students could in turn in two different agencies if wanting to
[00:09:03.232]have a maximum experience in an agency, and that credit would
[00:09:09.052]apply toward the major area.
[00:09:16.280]Students who complete our degree program are often interested in
[00:09:21.295]a wide variety of different career opportunities that might
[00:09:25.925]be in corrections, courts and law law enforcement, victim
[00:09:30.401]services, juvenile services, working in state or federal
[00:09:34.799]regulatory agencies, work in private security or receive
[00:09:39.198]advanced education and do research or teaching in
[00:09:43.056]criminology and criminal justice.
[00:09:51.720]Just wanted to cover degree requirements so that you would
[00:09:55.647]have an idea of what courses you would be taking for this degree.
[00:10:00.600]The Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice
[00:10:04.752]includes a minimum of 120 credit hours.
[00:10:08.120]As you see, the achievement centered education requirements
[00:10:11.641]are integrated within our degree requirements.
[00:10:15.200]Students specifically take 9 hours of English composition, 9
[00:10:20.481]hours of social Science, 7 hours of natural science including one
[00:10:26.196]natural science lab, 12 credit hours of Humanities and Fine
[00:10:31.391]Arts to include an ACE 7 oral communication course, an ACE 5
[00:10:36.673]Humanities and an ACE 7 Arts, and then one additional
[00:10:41.348]Humanities or Arts course.
[00:10:44.320]Statistics is required and fulfills our ACE 3 quantitative
[00:10:48.408]requirement.
[00:10:50.640]Students complete 40 hours in the Criminology and Criminal
[00:10:54.738]Justice major, completing some ACE requirements there.
[00:10:58.560]ACE 9 is a diversity requirement and that is completed with a
[00:11:03.795]course in Criminal.
[00:11:05.440]A required course in Criminal Justice.
[00:11:08.720]Our internship can fulfill the ACE 10 or the scholarly product
[00:11:14.225]or Capstone course and apply in the 40 hour major area.
[00:11:19.600]Students are required to complete a minor.
[00:11:21.560]Most minors are 18 credit hours, but a few might vary from that.
[00:11:28.320]Additional coursework to round out the degree are done in
[00:11:33.038]electives or courses of choice.
[00:11:36.480]The ACE 8 is an ethics civics course, and depending on which
[00:11:40.477]courses chosen, might apply in a variety of areas within those
[00:11:44.605]120 credit hours.
[00:11:51.040]There are many minors that students could consider.
[00:11:54.920]Might choose an area to benefit career goals or just an area of
[00:12:00.040]interest.
[00:12:01.360]We primarily just recommend that students plan early explore
[00:12:06.398]different areas.
[00:12:07.720]Work with your advisor to choose one or more minors to include in
[00:12:12.164]your program.
[00:12:16.080]A typical first semester might include fifteen credit hours or
[00:12:21.153]five courses.
[00:12:24.320]For instance, an English composition for three hours, the
[00:12:29.232]intro criminal justice, a social science course, and a couple of
[00:12:34.737]additional courses could be in ACE requirements or areas of
[00:12:39.818]interest or an elective or for students who are in special
[00:12:44.815]programs might include learning community courses or or PC
[00:12:49.812]courses, or, yeah, adjusting for whatever a student might want to
[00:12:55.402]include.
[00:12:56.960]If taking 15 credit hours, the recommendation is to study about
[00:13:00.822]two hours outside of class for every hour in class.
[00:13:03.960]So that would be like A40 hour work week devoted to academics.
[00:13:10.800]So it's very important to plan well, use good time management,
[00:13:16.754]use a planner, and there's resources that can help with
[00:13:22.047]that.
[00:13:22.520]In the Center for Academic Success and Transition, we can
[00:13:27.809]adjust the schedule based on other credits such as AP credits
[00:13:33.464]or dual credits or whatever you might want to include.
[00:13:46.840]Students are required to complete the SCCJ Start Smart
[00:13:51.417]course.
[00:13:52.480]This is a course that includes a lot of information from
[00:13:57.146]orientation, new student enrollment, more information
[00:14:01.568]about criminology and criminal justice and the opportunity for
[00:14:06.726]you to use Canvas.
[00:14:09.800]So this is meant to help you have a smooth transition when
[00:14:14.313]starting in the fall.
[00:14:16.400]In early August, you'll receive an e-mail from the school and
[00:14:21.005]and letting you know that you have access to the SCCJ Start
[00:14:25.462]Smart course in Canvas and you would complete that prior to the
[00:14:30.217]start of classes.
[00:14:35.600]We recommend you save the date for the College of Public
[00:14:38.844]Affairs and Community Service Big Red Welcome.
[00:14:41.960]This will be on Tuesday, August 22nd from 2:30 to 5:00.
[00:14:46.640]Much more information will be coming about specific happenings
[00:14:51.073]there, but just save the date at this point.
[00:14:59.770]If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to
[00:15:03.172]reach out to us, to the school, to any advisors, and we'd be
[00:15:07.164]happy to answer questions that you might have.
[00:15:10.720]Also, be sure to follow us on our social media sites.
