Online Learning: Any Time, Any Place

Dean Ault's Video Overview
of J&S Distance Education

The College of Justice and Safety has joined the education revolution and is expanding opportunities for interested students who need greater flexibility to accomplish their educational goals. While traditional classroom teaching and learning will continue to serve as the cornerstone of education, the demands of our changing world and the daily circumstances of adult students have created a need to offer online courses and degree programs.

By focusing on the needs of those students who would like to pursue degrees in Justice and Safety, but find taking conventional courses impossible, the College is creating online courses and degree programs (in selected areas) to reach those adult learners who require more flexibility and convenience in the way courses are delivered.

Online students can maintain their lifestyle commitments (e.g., working at a job, raising their kids) while taking courses from many of our outstanding faculty, thereby enabling us to export our faculty resources to otherwise unreachable audiences. We want those lifelong learners who are determined to enhance their educational status to pursue their degrees from an accredited institution that is a leader in the fields of justice and safety. In the process we hope our online students share their real-world experiences with their fellow students and us so that we can learn from them as well.
