Public Safety at OSU-Tulsa is a degree completion program for transfer and returning adult students.

The OSU-Tulsa Difference

The bachelor's degree in public safety was created with direct input of law enforcement officers working within the communities they serve. Jesse Guardiola, retired senior officer for minority recruitment and workforce development for the Tulsa Police Department, used his experience working with Tulsa's Hispanic population to make recommendations for the curriculum.

 

OSU-Tulsa also partnered with the Tulsa Police Department to include the Tulsa Police Academy as part of the public safety degree program. Students who complete all prior degree requirements and are accepted into the Tulsa Police Academy will earn the final 15 credit hours of their bachelor’s degree by completing the approximately 28-week academy. Visit JoinTPD.com for more information.
