[00:01:53.160]...
[00:01:53.160]...
[00:01:53.200]The success.unl.edu website also notes the many resources available to
[00:02:03.660]students. We recommend you place important websites on your computer for
[00:02:14.620]easy access, such as my.unl.edu, which provides links to the

[00:02:31.560]MyRED for enrollment, student accounts, and important messages from the university, the
[00:02:39.280]Student Success Hub to schedule appointments with your advisor, as well as many other links.
[00:02:49.120]The Office of the Registrar site to review the academic calendar.
[00:02:53.080]To keep track of important dates and deadlines each semester.
[00:02:59.020]Class registration tutorials, university policies and procedures.
[00:03:08.960]Go to the Undergraduate Catalog to review degree requirements, possible minors, course
[00:03:15.800]descriptions.
[00:03:18.760]Achievement-Centered Education Requirements, abbreviated ACE.
[00:03:23.020]There are like general education courses that all UNL students include to gain specific
[00:03:29.220]skills and knowledge.
[00:03:31.580]There are 10 ACE outcomes and at least one course in each of these outcome areas must
[00:03:38.460]be completed.
[00:03:44.520]I now will focus on the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, which offers nationally
[00:03:50.460]ranked undergraduate as well as graduate courses.
[00:03:52.960]The Bachelor of Science and minors are offered in Lincoln.

[00:04:04.960]The Master of Science is also offered online.
[00:04:09.720]We have two research centers within the school.
[00:04:14.200]The Fast Track program offers highly qualified undergraduate students the opportunity to
[00:04:20.120]begin master's degree work.
[00:04:22.900]While an undergraduate and use up to nine credit hours for both degrees.
[00:04:34.140]To introduce some of our administrators, Dr. Gaylene Armstrong is the Dean of the college
[00:04:40.200]and Katie Hansen is the Assistant Dean of the College of Public Affairs and Community
[00:04:45.640]Service.
[00:04:47.780]Dr. Todd Armstrong is the Director of
[00:04:52.840]Criminology and Criminal Justice and Dr. Trish Rhodes is the Undergraduate Coordinator
[00:04:58.680]on the Lincoln campus.
[00:05:05.060]Your academic advisors, Karen Fulton, Amber Christensen, and Spencer Thompson are available
[00:05:12.880]in Nebraska Hall on campus or by Zoom for appointments.
[00:05:18.460]Check in with your advisor whenever you have questions.
[00:05:22.780]Take advantage of a wide range of experiential opportunities to enhance your experience while
[00:05:33.220]completing your degree.
[00:05:38.780]The London Study Abroad Tour is led by our faculty with a 3 credit hour course applicable
[00:05:45.920]in the major and travel to London at the end of the spring semester.
[00:05:51.660]We have offered this opportunity
[00:05:52.720]for over 40 years.
[00:05:57.620]Some students want to complete an entire semester abroad and can travel to their preferred destination
[00:06:03.340]by working with the Global Experiences Office and their advisor to pre-approve courses before
[00:06:10.120]departure.
[00:06:15.380]Our Criminal Justice Student Association is very active with social and career activities
[00:06:20.880]and tours.
[00:06:22.660]Joining the CJSA is a great way to meet other students with similar interests and gain leadership
[00:06:29.740]skills.
[00:06:34.820]There are various opportunities through our Juvenile Justice Institute, such as the Juvenile
[00:06:40.180]Mentoring Class, Juvenile Justice Research, or an internship.
[00:06:46.500]This past year, a fabulous education abroad to Singapore was offered through JJI.
[00:06:52.600]Students earned a Certificate in Restorative Practices.
[00:06:57.000]...
[00:06:59.160]Students interested in research can work alongside our faculty who are leading experts in criminology
[00:07:09.090]and criminal justice, and students can earn credit in our research internship.
[00:07:19.790]A comprehensive internship class is offered with over 50 participating criminal justice
[00:07:27.110]agencies in a wide variety of career areas.
[00:07:31.950]We have an internship coordinator to assist students with placement.
[00:07:35.930]This is a great opportunity for students to get experience while a student and we highly
[00:07:40.950]recommend at least one internship.
[00:07:49.650]Opportunities to connect with experts in the criminal justice field are offered through
[00:07:53.870]our state of the agency lectures.
[00:07:57.110]Career and internship fairs, pre-law opportunities, and guest speakers in classes.
[00:08:10.830]With our Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice, students study the theories
[00:08:15.930]of crime and delinquency as well as the criminal justice system as a whole.
[00:08:21.110]Law, law enforcement, courts, corrections, and so graduates work in various areas of
[00:08:27.110]the criminal justice system after graduation such as corrections, courts and law, law enforcement
[00:08:49.110]at the city, county, or state level and advancing into specialized divisions or investigations
[00:08:55.110]or federal law enforcement.
[00:08:57.110]Victim services, juvenile services, working in state or federal regulatory agencies, private security or private investigations.
[00:09:25.110]And some of our students,
[00:09:27.110]who want to seek advanced education and work in education teaching or in research.
[00:09:43.110]Now we'll take a moment to review the requirements for the degree.
[00:09:54.110]This is a summary of the credit hours required
[00:09:57.110]for the degree.
[00:09:59.110]More specific information is noted in the undergraduate catalog.
[00:10:04.110]A total of 120 credit hours,
[00:10:08.110]including 30 hours of achievement-centered education,
[00:10:12.110]ACE courses, are required.
[00:10:16.110]ACE 1 is a writing requirement,
[00:10:19.110]and so the completion of a 100-level English Composition course
[00:10:24.110]completes that requirement.
[00:10:27.110]We require two additional writing courses
[00:10:30.110]for a total of nine credit hours:
[00:10:35.110]one oral communications course for ACE 2,
[00:10:39.110]statistics for ACE 3,
[00:10:43.110]a social science course,
[00:10:46.110]a natural science with lab for ACE 4,
[00:10:51.110]humanities for ACE 5,
[00:10:55.110]arts for ACE 7,
[00:10:57.110]ethics for ACE 8,
[00:10:59.110]...
[00:11:03.110]Forty hours are required in the Criminology and Criminal Justice major
[00:11:09.110]with some specific courses required and other courses of choice.
[00:11:15.110]Students choose a minor,
[00:11:18.110]and electives round out the 120 credit hours.
[00:11:27.110]There are many minor areas to consider,
[00:11:30.110]and it's helpful to explore areas of interest early
[00:11:33.110]to determine what minor you feel might be of most interest and benefit.
[00:11:38.110]Requirements for this degree are flexible,
[00:11:41.110]and so some students choose to include more than one minor.
[00:11:51.110]A typical first semester schedule would be about 15 credit hours,
[00:11:57.110]including English composition, introduction to criminal justice,
[00:12:02.110]perhaps a social science course, or choosing from various ACE courses.
[00:12:09.110]Credits can be adjusted based on any AP or prior college credit,
[00:12:15.110]or requirements for other programs such as learning communities,
[00:12:20.110]ROTC, or a scholarship requirement.
[00:12:27.110]All new students are required to complete the SCCJ Start Smart course,
[00:12:36.110]which will be made available in early August.
[00:12:40.110]This will be an overview of important information on university resources
[00:12:46.110]and the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice,
[00:12:50.110]and UNL's systems to make the transition to the university successful.
[00:12:57.110]It will also give students practice working in Canvas,
[00:13:01.110]which will be used in classes.
[00:13:10.110]Save the date for our College of Public Affairs Big Red Welcome
[00:13:15.110]on Thursday, August 21, from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m.
[00:13:21.110]You will receive more information at a later date on happenings there.
