Criminal justice programs at community colleges have often been used to subsidize other programs and often have only one full-time faculty member. To examine issues confronting programs with only one full-time faculty member, surveys were conducted of faculty in one-person programs at 11 community colleges in New Jersey. Completed questionnaires were received by faculty at 10 of the 11 programs, while 5 respondents were also interviewed by phone. A professor at the state's only four-year college with a one-person department also completed a questionnaire. Study results included the following: (1) advantages of a one-person department cited by respondents included ease of scheduling and textbook selection, more leeway in curriculum development, having the power to hire adjuncts, and more autonomy; (2) disadvantages cited by respondents were more numerous and strident and included excessive workload, excessive student advisement, lack of peer interaction, student intellectual stagnation from lack of varied viewpoints, having sole responsibility for programs, and inadequate reimbursement for administrative duties; and (3) key issues identified as confronting respondents' programs included early career burnout from too many responsibilities, problems associated with teaching off-campus courses and monitoring students during field internships, lack of peer interaction, and excessive utilization of adjuncts.
