Working law enforcement officers will have an opportunity to earnbachelor's degrees in criminal justice over a two-year period through a new distance learning program being offered by Western Carolina University. Starting in August, individuals who work in law enforcement will be able to take criminal justice courses over the Internet. The bachelor's degree program will consist of six eight-week courses taken each year for two years, and up to four independent study courses, depending on the student's experience. The deadline to enroll in the program is Saturday, July 15. With the addition of the criminal justice program, and a new Internet-based bachelor's degree program in emergency medical care that also will begin in August, Western Carolina now offers a total of six degree programs off-campus through distance learning. Individuals who sign up for the cuminal justice program can participate in the courses at any time and place, as long as they have access to a modem computer and an Internet service provider. The program is open to students who have already completed, or will soon be completing, a community college associate's degree. "I think it is a wonderful opportunity for officers working toward a degree," said Asheville Police Chief Will Annarino. "With shift work and other job and family opportunities, it is often difficult to adhere to a fixed class schedule. We will certainly encourage our own employees to take full advantage of this wonderful opportunity." Annarino said individuals who are interested in becoming law officers "find themselves at a distinct disadvantage in seeking employment when they must compete with college graduates. Current employees will find it very hard to ascend the career ladder to include promotions into supervision without a degree," he said. Bob Scott, a Franklin resident who serves as a captain for the Macon County Shenffs Office, said he sees the online program as a great plus for local officers who have always wanted to go back to school to get their bachelor's degrees, but couldn't because of their work schedules. Scott has signed up for the program. "You really need the four-year degree. In many agencies, it's a requirement," said Scott, who works as the Macon Sheriff's executive officer. "I think this is a wonderful idea. It's very innovative." An orientation session for criminal justice students will be held at WCU on Saturday, Aug. 12, to allow students to meet with an instructor, receive instructions for accessing courses and learn how to get to online library reserves. After that, the students won't have to come back to campus — except to graduate, said Bill Hyatt, a WCU professor of cuminai justice who will teach in the program. Hyatt said the individuals who have signed up for the program already cover a wide range in law enforcement experience — from newcomers to the field to 25- year veterans. Although those students won't be meeting in a classroom, they will have contact with each other, and their instructors, through the use of online chat rooms, bulletin boards and email. The students also will have technical assistance available through a toll-free telephone number and email, and access to a personal librarian and borrowing privileges at WCU's Hunter Library, Hyatt said. Individuals who enroll in the criminal justice program must pay a one-time $35 application fee. Tuition is $38 per semester hour, with most classes offering three hours of credit. The cost per semester for an individual taking two classes would be about $228. WCU Professor Wins $1,000 by Samantha Helms Asst. News Editor William E. Harn, a resident of Cullowhee and head of WCU's department of human services, made his appearance on ABC's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" After successfully completing the qualifying process, Harn traveled to New York City in early May to record the show. His son, Andy Harn, who lives in Texas, accompanied him. Quick wits and fast fingers advanced Harn to the "hot seat" on the show that was broadcast on Thursday, May 18. Two questions later and $200 ahead, the infamous horn sounded to mark the end of that episode. Harn was 13 questions away from winning $l million. A week long "champion se ries" gave Harn time to expand his knowledge, and he appeared again on Sunday, May 28. With the help of his three lifelines, Harn reached the $8,000 level. One question asked for the title of the film that holds the line, "You had me at hello." Harn used his phone-a-friend lifeline to call WCU graduate student Robin Dinnes at Maple Tree Gallery in Dillsboro. A visitor of the gallery provided Ham with the correct answer: the movie "Jerry McQuire." No lifelines and $8,000 failed Harn on the $16,000 question regarding color blindness, dropping his total winnings to $ 1,000. Regardless, Harn enjoyed his time in New York Ci "They treat you like royalty," Harn said. "They fly you up to New York, pick you up in a lim ousine, put you up at a grand hotel, cater your meals, and then give you $50 a day spending money. The show also paid to fly Ham's son to New York so he could be with him on the show. "It was the first time in the Big Apple for both of us, so we had a wonderful time visiting the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Carnegie Hall and Central Park," Harn said. Now back in Cullowhee, Harn continues to serve as head of WCU's department of human services, teaches communication disorders, and on July 1, became dean of WCU's Office of Research and Graduate Studies. \)
