“The online courses were not only well targeted for public administrators, they were every bit as demanding and fulfilling as traditional classroom courses.”

Program Requirements

The eight core courses required for the law enforcement major are offered in a cohort schedule in fall and spring semesters. We encourage you to work on your major electives and other requirements during the summer.

You and the members of your cohort will take these classes in the following sequence:

Law Enforcement Major Completion Program Online Course Schedule (27 credits)

In August, before the cohort courses begin, you will attend a one-day orientation at Metropolitan State University (this is the only time you?re required to travel to our campus). You will meet instructors, fellow students, learn about web-based courses, and finalize your degree plan with an advisor.

Commitment

You must make a commitment to complete these courses in sequence with your cohort. If it is necessary to withdraw during the sequence, you will need to re-apply for admission to a subsequent cohort.

Completing Degree Requirements

In addition to the courses above, you must also meet the University's degree requirements (which vary depending on your transcripts). We will help you identify ways to meet these requirements, including online courses at Metropolitan State University or other institutions and/or prior learning.
