SJRCC Offers New Criminal Justice Program
While many criminal justice occupations are associated with the courageous and perilous duties of police officers, St. Johns River Community College announces a new two-year degree program for those seeking careers in the same exciting field, but without the badge and gun.
Beginning this fall, the College’s academy will expand to include the new Criminal Justice Technology program. The curriculum includes hands-on training for those interested in broadening their knowledge within the field of criminal justice, said Gary Killam, SJRCC’s program director.
"There’s another side to criminal justice,” Killam said. “Most people are unaware of the more than 40 different crucial support positions that go hand-in-hand with police work. The new program will allow us to reach out to all civilians interested in working in the field of law enforcement.”
Killam said one advantage of the program is its diverse course offerings. Courses to be offered include subjects on homeland security, terrorism, criminal evidence and court procedures, organized crime, juvenile delinquency and police administration. “The range of students who can benefit from this training is broad,” he said. “How a student utilizes the associate in science degree depends on his or her own personal career goals.”The types of jobs graduates could qualify for include: crime scene technician, computer forensics, property and evidence technicians, dispatcher, bailiff, records personnel, community service officer, body guard and airport and private security officer.

SJRCC to Begin Honors Program
St. Johns River Community College will expand its academic offerings this fall with the community’s brightest students in mind. A new Honors Program has been created to give high-achievers the opportunity to enhance their collegiate experience through advanced classes.
SJRCC President Joe Pickens, J.D., said the program will challenge students who wish to push their academic talents to the limit. “While college-level courses encourage individuality, participation and the development of critical thinking skills through close interaction with instructors, the Honors Program will offer a more advanced approach to learning,” he said. “Qualified students will encounter challenging courses outside the format and expectations of traditional classes.”
According to Bert Whitaker, J.D., SJRCC’s vice president for academic affairs, Honors students will have opportunities to participate in activities not usually available in regular sections of these courses. “Honors students will be challenged to accept their civic responsibilities, which include leadership and service,” he said.
Students who meet the requirements for completion will receive recognition on their transcripts and diplomas and will be recognized at graduation. ~“Students who graduate with honors courses have an edge over other students when applying to universities and programs that have a more competitive admissions process,” Whitaker said.
The Honors courses include United States History, U. S. Federal Government, Composition I and II, College Algebra and more.
The program will be available on all campuses to incoming freshmen as well as current students who are considered “college ready” in the areas of English, reading and mathematics. Additional requirements, which include a minimum 3.5 GPA, are available on the College Web site at www.sjrcc.edu. Interested students may also contact the College at (386) 312-4035.
