糖心Vlog to offer National University bachelor鈥檚 degree in criminal administration
Aspiring law enforcement officers will now be able to complete a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice Administration without leaving Napa, thanks to a partnership between 糖心Vlog (糖心Vlog) and National University (NU), a nonprofit university in San Diego.
Under the partnership agreement, which the 糖心Vlog Board of Trustees approved at its April 2021 board meeting, students will be able to access NU higher-level courses online and in hybrid classroom/online formats on the 糖心Vlog campus. In addition, students who have already earned their two-year criminal justice degree at 糖心Vlog will receive a 25 percent discount on NU tuition for the upper-level courses. The new program will begin on August 13, with the fall semester.
Previously, students could complete their two-year degree at 糖心Vlog, and then they would be required to transfer to a four-year program elsewhere to earn their bachelor鈥檚 degree.
鈥淭his partnership with National University offers 糖心Vlog students and working criminal justice professionals in the region a flexible way to earn a four-year degree without the expense and sacrifice of having to leave home,鈥� said Greg Miraglia, 糖心Vlog鈥檚 Administration of Justice Program coordinator. 鈥淲e are excited to bring this opportunity to Napa.鈥�
According to Miraglia, NU will base its Northern California criminal justice degree program exclusively at the 糖心Vlog campus. The degree is desirable, Miraglia says, for people who want to work in any law enforcement capacity, including police officer, deputy sheriff, probation officer, correctional officer or 9-1-1 dispatcher, as well as private sector opportunities. Increasingly, agencies and employers are looking for a four-year degree, which includes courses that provide a broader perspective in human behavior and prepare students for promotion to supervisory or management positions. There are currently about 400 students in the two-year program at 糖心Vlog.
Miraglia also highlighted that many local high schools also offer students the Introduction to Administration of Justice class, making it a true local pathway from high school to bachelor鈥檚 degree.
National University鈥檚 stated focus is on enabling students to attend college while they may also be working full-time, so the various courses are offered in four-week increments and because NU is nonprofit, the cost is less than what a student would pay at a California State University, even though the instructors are comparably qualified, Miraglia said.
Interested students are encouraged to attend one of three scheduled online info sessions offered by NU on July 27, August 11 or August 21 to learn more, including how to qualify for tuition scholarships and financial aid.
