Online courses are offered in an accelerated 8-week format.

How many classes do I have to take?

The program consists of 12 classes of 3 credit hours each and a comprehensive exam.

How long will it take to complete my degree?

If you take one 8-week course each session, the MS Public Safety Administration program takes two years to complete. Some students may need to skip a session due to home, family, and job commitments. Because the courses are offered in an accelerated format, on a year-round basis, they accommodate students who wish to enroll continuously, as well as those who need to take courses at a slower pace. There is a seven-year limit on the time a student may take to complete the program.

What is the application deadline?

We offer a rolling admission into the program. You have the opportunity to begin classes six different times throughout the year.
