to set up their courses so that the student can learn outside the traditional classroom. Each faculty member utilizes multiple forms of media to create the best learning environment possible. I was very impressed at how my advisor broke down every degree requirement from the time I applied to the time I completed my degree. With the help of my advisor, I was able to map out every semester from start to finish. I was even able to obtain a minor in communications studies.

real-world experience by opening doors to different job opportunities. After graduating I obtained a job as a fraud investigator for the Highland County Department of Job and Family Services. In this position I was able to build upon my studies by conducting actual investigations and pursuing criminal charges against individuals who participated in welfare fraud. When I decided to look for a job closer to home, I was able to pursue my current position as a case manager for the Ross County Adult Probation Department because I held the BCJ degree."

教师和顾问信息

BCJ students should triage their Tier I math sequence, and then immediately pursue their statistics and then research methods requirements.

BCJ students should also triage their BCJ Core requirements, taking any prerequisites for their sociology, 政治科学, 或者心理学追踪他们的第一学期. The sociology courses are offered sequentially once a year, so careful planning up front is necessary.

BCJ students should plan for and complete their Area II Group B (Political and Legal Issues) course earlier in their academic career, as a course is not always offered in this area each term.

Should a BCJ course substitution be necessary (ie a new course or seminar), 请与你的顾问一起提交一份 替代形式 to 朱莉Cohara. 表格每周审核和更新一次.
