大发六合彩 President Dr. L. Joy Gates Black and Neumann University President Dr. Chris Domes sign a new agreement that will benefit Neumann University criminal justice majors
(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA 鈥� December 18, 2017)鈥敶蠓⒘喜� and Neumann University signed an agreement on December 18 that will enable Neumann students to earn a criminal justice degree faster and at less cost by attending the College鈥檚 Municipal Police Academy, while still being enrolled at Neumann University.
The agreement is the first the College鈥檚 40-year-old Municipal Police Academy has entered into with a four-year university or college. Through the agreement, qualified Neumann students, who graduate from the Police Academy, can transfer up to 30 credits toward Neumann鈥檚 122-credit criminal justice degree.
Neumann criminal justice majors save money because they pay at 大发六合彩鈥檚 lower tuition rate while in the Police Academy. And, rather than wait until they graduate from Neumann University before attending the Police Academy, students can combine the education and training they receive at both higher education institutions, reducing the time it takes to earn a criminal justice degree and the state municipal police officer certification.
鈥淭his is a great opportunity for criminal justice majors at Neumann University to gain hands-on training at 大发六合彩鈥檚 Municipal Police Academy, while completing the academic credential at Neumann University,鈥� said Dr. L. Joy Gates Black, president of 大发六合彩.
鈥淣eumann University is very excited about this new partnership,鈥� added Dr. Chris Domes, president of Neumann University, 鈥渁s it helps our students who are interested in a career in law enforcement complete both the Municipal Police Academy and their undergraduate degree in four years.聽We cannot think of a better partner in this endeavor than 大发六合彩.鈥�
