Student Experiences – Dallas College

Bobby Carter

DART Police Officer

"I’ve had a fantastic experience in the Criminal Justice program at Cedar Valley; SaRita Stewart is an outstanding teacher. Even though I already had a related job, things here are in depth; the theories and terminology have helped me simplify some things on the job."

Criminal Justice

Bobby Zito

Lieutenant North Lake Campus Police

"Most of my fellow students in the police academy were career-changers like me. The difficult part was getting back to studying and retaining information, and I had to work extremely hard in the beginning. But it was worth it because I love what I’m doing."

Brian Singleton

Inside Sales Representative Summit Controls Inc.

"The best part about this program was learning from instructors with real hands-on industry experience. On the job, I apply almost everything I learned in the program. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that broad spectrum of knowledge. That I could get out of college without a mountain of debt and go to school close to home really made a difference too."

Bruce Parramore

Welder All Metal Fabrications Allen, Texas

"I was working as a truck driver when I took my first Welding course. I had gotten interested in welding when I built a go-cart as a home project and had decided I’d like to learn how to weld better. But after I took that first welding class — after just four months — I had learned enough that I was able to get a job in my company’s welding department. Now I’m a welder instead of a truck driver."
