URock Hosts Info Session On Justice Studies Programs
People interested in preparing for careers in law enforcement, detection and
forensics are invited to participate in an info session on Monday, June 21,
from 4:00-5:00 PM. The session will feature faculty from the Justice Studies
program at the University of Maine at Augusta (UMA). Offering the Bachelor
of Science, the Associate of Science and certificates, UMA’s Justice Studies
program prepares students for career opportunities in border patrol,
paralegal positions–public and private, probation–state and federal, and
risk management. “Justice Studies offers a variety of programs--a paralegal
certificate, an advocacy minor, a criminal justice concentration as well as
a community policing and a forensics certificate,” said Mary Louis Davitt,
Professor of Legal Technology. “All required courses are available at
University College at Rockland; many are available online. We believe that
while our online offerings challenge students and faculty, they also enhance
the academic and public discussion of important and timely topics throughout
the state.”
