Positions in public safety often involve emergency preparedness and response, as well as the coordination of resources. The goal of public safety administration is to protect citizens through the cooperative work of fire, police, 911 systems and emergency medical response services. Management, operations and administrative skill sets need to be coordinated.
The Public Safety Administration program includes course work in the following subject areas:
Administration
Interagency operations
Crisis leadership
Government financial management

The program provides a track for those desiring to continue their educational pursuit to transfer their degree into a four-year degree program at a university. Four degree concentrations allow students to tailor their curriculum in their desired or current area of expertise while providing a streamlined pathway that recognizes the value of previously earned skill sets.
The Leadership Certificate is designed to meet the demand for leadership education at the federal, state and local government levels, as well as throughout the private sector.
Individuals can receive credit for credentials already earned in the public safety sector.
