Scottsdale, AZ -(Ammoland.com)- Sonoran Desert Institute (SDI), an industry leader in providing accredited and accelerated distance learning, has teamed up with The Paralegal Institute at Brighton College to create a criminal justice educational package that is right on target for students who are enthusiastic about firearms.
As part of the partnership, students who enroll in and complete the Criminal Justice Diploma program or the Associate in Criminal Justice degree program at The Paralegal Institute at Brighton College may take the SDI AR-15 Advanced Armorer course at no additional cost. SDI graduates also receive a 20 percent discount (tuition and books) on Brighton College’s criminal justice programs.
“We’re very excited to partner with Brighton College so students can gain the versatile and comprehensive education they need to set themselves apart in a rapidly growing industry,” says SDI Executive Director of Strategic Development Wes LeMay. “This unique partnership gives students the best of both worlds — the credentials they need for a career in criminal justice, and the quality hands-on armorer training for which SDI is so well-known.”
The SDI AR-15 Advanced Armorer course delivers a comprehensive review on the AR-15, from history to accessories to parts and functions, and instructs students on building and milling their own 80-percent Lower Receiver. The course also provides instructions on how to finish building the rifle and students are eligible for manufacturer discounts to obtain parts.
“Brighton College’s online criminal justice programs are designed by criminal justice professionals and educators to give students the practical skills and relevant theory they need to achieve successful careers in the administration of justice,” adds Matthew Tidwell, vice president of Brighton College. “We always strive to prepare our graduates for entry into their chosen field, and our partnership with SDI sets an entirely new standard.”
