Pitt-Bradford to Offer
Associate Degree in St. Marys
ST. MARYS, Pa. – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford will introduce its new plan to offer its associate of arts degree in liberal studies in St. Marys at an open house next week.
Pitt-Bradford will hold an open house from 6 to 8 p.m. May 22 at the Community Education Council of Elk and Cameron Counties, 4 Erie Ave., St. Marys, for those who are interested in the two-year degree. A second open house for the same time will be held June 20.
Students will have the option to pursue either a course of general studies or include a series of criminal justice courses. The courses will be delivered either in person, online or through interactive television instruction.
All of the courses scheduled for the fall semester take place after 4 p.m., with most starting at 6 p.m., noted Bob Dilks Jr., director of transfer and nontraditional student recruitment, making them more available to students who work during the day.
The criminal justice course sequence will cover a broad range of topics that can apply to a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice offered on the Bradford campus or toward another degree.
The program is designed to be completed in two years, although students with previous college experience could potentially transfer those college credits into the program.
Criminal justice topics during the two-year series will include causes of crime, drug trafficking, police use of force, terrorism, ethics, incarceration and recidivism, juvenile justice, search and seizure, racial profiling and community-based corrections.
Students who do not wish to pursue the criminal justice courses can substitute other online courses.
Courses planned on site for the fall semester are Introduction to Criminal Justice, English Composition I and Fundamentals of Mathematics. Violence and Crime and American Political Process will be delivered by interactive television.
Dilks and a member of the faculty will be available at the open house to answer questions about the program, transferability and financial aid.
For more information, contact Dilks at 1-800-872-1787 or dilks@pitt.edu. More information is also available on the Pitt-Bradford website at www.upb.pitt.edu/stmarys.aspx.
