LSSU oilers criminal justice bachelor's degrees on campus BY KENT LACOMBE STAFF WRIIBR Students interested in ob- taining a bachelor's degree in criminal justice can do it right here, in the new ACC-Lake Su- perior State University Criminal Justice/Generalist Completion Program, lice officers, who are planning a career in Alpena, and they are simply tied to Alpena." The cost of attaining a bachelor's degree here is sub- stantially less as well. "When a student is in our program," Roy states, "they may pay half, or coordinator of LSSU's Crimi- nal Justice Program, and by Roy. They are also offered by means of interactive television, or IATV. one of Alpena Com- munity College's convenient four year programs. The idea for this new program origi- nated in Alpena. According to Roy, there are some drawbacks to this pro- gram. "At present you are not a certified police officer when you complete our program. You have what is called a We wanted our students to have an opportunity to criminal justice gener- alists degree. With this degree you are very well P,repared to trans er t'\:;an c(cad~ 1 emy, whe~e you C8f,l obtain your ceft\fi~- tion if you wish. Criminal justice In- structor Mike Roy explains: "Wewanted our students to have 1 complete th'eir four- an opportunity to complete their four- year program without having to transfer. We have a mix of students which range from the younger 18 year program without having to transfer. -Mike Roy There are a num- ber of reasons that certification is not available through ACC. The first is that LSSU is qualified to offer certification by the Michigan Law En- forcement Training to 19-year-olds on up to what you would call your older, or more mature students. Some of these students, particularly some of the older ones, are fixed to the area. That is what this bachelor's degree program is de- signed for. Presently in the program we have working po- less than half that they would at a university. The first three years of our program are ACC classes, and you pay ACC tuition rate. For the final year you pay Lake Superior State University tuition. When you figure this into what you would save in travel and room and board, the savings re- ally are substantial." Classes from LSSU are taught on site by LSSU instruc- tors, including Jim Blashill, the DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES Governor Lt. Governor Howard Wolpe Debbie Stabenow Secretary of State Richard H. Austin Attorney General Frank J. Kelley US Senator Bob Carr US House Representative Bart Stupak State Senator Mike McElroy State Represenative G.T. Long County Commissioners Jere L. Standen Edward Hier Council. Second, LSSU has a firing range, and they have access to a pursuit driving track. It is just not economically feasible for ACC to build a firing range or driving track at this time." Blashill will be coming to Alpena to discuss the new pro- gram, and to meet with any student interested in transferring or getting involved in the new program here.
