Overview

The Bachelor of Arts in Public Safety in Combination is a customizable double-major degree pairing Public Safety with another major such as Psychology, Criminology, Game Design, or Health Studies. The program develops critical thinking for careers spanning public health, mental health, government, and law enforcement, and is taught by instructors with professional experience in public safety fields. Delivery combines a hybrid schedule of scheduled in-person classes with online coursework, in both synchronous and asynchronous formats; the specific campus depends on the paired major.
