In addition, scholarship opportunities are available to qualifying students through the LCC Guarantee Scholarship Program, which can potentially mean two years of free education for students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans'\">These degrees are considered current teacher preparation programs and are intended to prepare students with competence in reading, writing, oral communication, fundamental mathematical skills, and basic computer use needed to transfer to a four-year university for teacher preparation and licensure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans'\">\u201cWhat an awesome opportunity for aspiring teachers to potentially receive their first two years of a teaching degree completely free or with very little to no cost, and then to move on to a four-year university with junior status, Dr. Timothy Maddox, Dean of Arts and Sciences, said. &#8220;We are so excited for this opportunity now available to students in Lenoir, Jones, and Greene Counties.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans'\">The Associate in Applied Science- Public Safety Administration curriculum is designed to provide students, as well as practitioners, with knowledge and skills in the technical, managerial, and administrative areas necessary for entrance or advancement within various public safety and government organizations. Students who have previous experience in the public safety field are able to apply that towards their degree to receive credit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans'\">Employment opportunities exist with fire or police departments, emergency management organizations, governmental agencies, industrial firms, correctional facilities, private industries, insurance organizations, educational organizations, security and protective organizations, and through self-employment opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans'\">\u201cThis new degree program provides a great opportunity for individuals currently working in the field of Public Safety to advance their career and receive credit for training they\u2019ve already received over the years. The inclusion of tracks for law enforcement, and emergency and fire management services give students an opportunity to tailor their degree toward their specific field,\u201d Dr. Justin Tilghman, Dean of Public Safety and Emergency Management, said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans'\">For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenoircc.edu\/programsofstudy\/associate-in-arts-teacher-preparation\/\">LCC Teacher Prep<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenoircc.edu\/programsofstudy\/public-administration\/\">LCC Public Safety Admin<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mallory Kennedy Lenoir Community College is excited to announce three new program offerings soon to be available for students!
