Program Overview
If you want to truly make a difference in the lives of your fellow citizens and the safety of your country, the Bachelor’s in Public Safety Administration (BPSA) is for you. We have all become keenly aware of the rising frequency of threats from both man-made and natural disasters that include natural disasters such as Hurricanes Irma and Michael and the Camp fire in California, to terrorist attacks and events such as September 11, 2001 in New York, the Boston Marathon Bombing, and the Orlando nightclub shooting.
That means a day-in-the-life of a Public Safety professional looks vastly different than it did even a few decades ago, which gives you virtually limitless opportunities to make a real impact. Here’s a quick look at the wide variety of Public Safety careers you could choose to pursue after graduation.
The BPSA degree in the School of Public Administration is ideal for professionals and pre-professionals interested in police, fire, and disaster response practice and administration. The 18 core credit hours and 60 total credit hours provide:
- A professional/ pre-professional degree program for students entering the fields of law enforcement, homeland security, and disaster response;
- Interested students a foundation for continuing in a professionally focused graduate program; and
- An interdisciplinary degree that allows students to combine key areas from several disciplines to graduate with a pre-professional degree.
For students interested in emergency, crisis, and disaster management, including fire response, and issues related to interagency communication and collaboration, we recommend the Disaster Management concentration.
