Learners in the program acquire the theoretical, methodological, and practical competencies needed for career advancement in today’s inter-disciplinary public safety fields.

The Bachelor of Public Safety Administration is offered completely online. Students can choose to pursue their studies full-time or part-time. New students can start the program at the beginning of any semester (September, January, and May).
