School Notes
College of Court Reporting is a progressive, student-centered
institution with a global reputation as being the leader in court
reporting education. CCR was one of the first colleges in the
country to deliver its entire court reporting program via distance
education over the Internet and award an Associate of Applied
Science degree. CCR was recently one of five colleges and
universities nationwide to be selected by the U.S. Department of
Education to participate in their Distance Education Demonstration
Program. We are home to the state's only degree granting court
reporting program. The College of Court Reporting (CCR) was founded
in 1984 by Kay Moody. Prior to opening CCR, Kay completed her
training at the Chicago College of Commerce in Chicago, Illinois.
Following her training, she was asked to be an instructor at a
local court reporting college in Northwest Indiana. After that
college closed its doors, she decided to open her own college. CCR
applied for and was granted full accreditation by the Indiana
Commission on Proprietary Education (ICOPE) on January 1, 1985. It
was granted approval to award an Associate of Applied Science
degree in Court Reporting by the same commission on August 14,
1985. Within a few years, Kay was able to develop a program that
met and exceeded the minimum standards of the National Court
Reporters Association (NCRA). CCR was granted full approval for its
court reporting program by the NCRA on November 1, 1987. Today, the
College of Court Reporting offers undergraduate associated degree,
certificate and diploma programs in three specialized areas of
study. CCR's students include a diverse group of primarily working
adults from all walks of life, including students throughout the
United States and around the world. Generally, CCR's students are
those who seek hands-on instruction, dedicated faculty and staff
and a high-quality, career specific curriculum. We provide
exemplary educational opportunities through our commitment to an
academic range of general education courses to occupational
specific academic and skill development courses. From medical
terminology, court reporting procedures, closed captioning, to
computer aided transcription, dedicated faculty complement every
discipline. During the last decade, College of Court Reporting has
moved ahead by expanding its court reporting program creating new
captioning and CART reporting courses to meet our students' needs.
Lastly, in 2005 we received approval from the Indiana Commission on
Proprietary Education to implement a full associate degree granting
captioning program. Students will have the education, skills,
academic background, technical knowledge, and hands-on experience
required to enter a variety of careers. The college strives to
improve its programs with the latest information technologies such
as steno text entry, computerized transcription, and videotape
applications.
After being attacked by private colleges, community colleges are mounting a defense and publishing studies that clearly outline the differences between the public and private institutions.
