Joint Degree and B.S. to M.S. Degree Options

2010 Aug 3 Posted by Charles

New and exciting Capella University public safety degree options:

Joint degree in Public Safety
A new joint degree—the Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Science (MS) in Public Safety—enables learners to earn 2 complementary master’s degrees in less time and at less cost than pursuing the 2 degree programs separately. The joint degree program emphasizes multidisciplinary and collaborative skills that address the cross-sector challenges of public service.

Additional combined degree options
Capella is also launching several new combined degree options that allow eligible learners in certain bachelor’s degree programs to begin earning master’s-level credits after completing at least 100 undergraduate credits. The new combined degree option includes the BS in Public Safety to MS in Public Safety.

Finally, learners can add value to a Capella degree and enhance their career opportunities by pursuing more than one specialization in their program. They can, use electives to earn an additional specialization for little additional time or cost, and apply core knowledge already learned toward more than one specialization.

Hi Dr. Tiffin and fellow Public Safety bloggers. Does Capella have a need for online faculty in the new joint degree Masters program? This researcher plans to complete dissertation by June 2011.
