The Law Enforcement Administration program is available for students who are police officers or those students (non-police officers) who wish to pursue a career in law enforcement. Students are not required to have completed the Associate of Applied Science in Law Enforcement from Rio Salado College to be accepted. Ottawa University's general credit transfer policies used in other degree programs apply to Law Enforcement Administration students. The 48 upper division credit hours required in the Police Science program are also required in the Law Enforcement Administration program (both programs have identical upper division requirements). However, more flexibility is allowed in lower division curricula when compared to the Police Science program. All earned credits must adhere to general academic requirements established by Ottawa University for baccalaureate degrees. The minimum upper division credits for the Law Enforcement Administration baccalaureate degree is 48 credit hours and the minimum total credit hours for the degree is 128 (minimums are identical with the Police Science program).
