Program eligibility requirements
Our Police Studies UCERT offers a pathway to policing for career-changers and people not already "license eligible" in the state. Students must have already obtained an associate's degree (or higher) in any discipline from a regionally accredited college or university to enter this program and must submit an application to the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice before applying for admission to Metro State.
This certificate is also offered as part of our "Criminal Justice BA with Police Studies UCERT" program and is an option for any bachelor's degree-seeking student at Metro State.
For details, please contact Professional Peace Officer Education Coordinator, Dr. James Densley at james.densley@metrostate.edu.
