Description:

Ottawa University and Rio Salado College, in a partnership established in 1999, have jointly created two practitioner-focused baccalaureate degrees in Police Science and in Law Enforcement Administration. Both programs have been developed to provide a common body of knowledge gathered from practitioners and experts in the field. Law enforcement professionals have played a major role in the design and implementation of both programs, which provides a relevant and practical approach to curriculum delivery. This program was conceived and designed by police professionals for the working law enforcement practitioner, and is delivered primarily through distance learning. To accomplish this, Rio Salado called upon the national leadership of American law enforcement for guidance as to the program's content and delivery. That perspective has been provided by the National Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (NCLEET), which is composed of police executives from the largest counties and cities in the US as well as major International Law Enforcement Associations that create public policy in policing. Successful completion of The Bachelor of Science in Police Science and in Law Enforcement Administration requires 128 semester credit hours to complete. |
