In a groundbreaking move, the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and Commonwealth University have joined forces to offer a unique opportunity for PSP academy graduates. This partnership is set to transform the educational landscape for aspiring law enforcement professionals.

PSP academy graduates can now earn valuable college credits towards a degree at Commonwealth University, giving them a significant advantage in their career progression. This initiative recognizes the rigorous training PSP cadets undergo and translates it into academic achievement.

Key benefits for PSP graduates include:

Accelerated degree completion: Graduates can fast-track their higher education journey, saving both time and money.

Enhanced career prospects: A combination of practical experience and academic credentials opens doors to advanced positions within law enforcement.

Seamless transition: The program ensures a smooth shift from professional training to academic pursuits.

The program allows PSP academy graduates to earn up to 30 college credits – equivalent to a full year of study. These credits can be applied towards various degree programs at Commonwealth University, including Criminal Justice, Public Administration, and Homeland Security.

“This partnership acknowledges the high standards of our training program,” says Colonel Robert Evanchick, PSP Commissioner. “It provides our troopers with a pathway to further their education and advance their careers.”

Dr. Bashar Hanna, Commonwealth University President, adds, “We’re proud to support Pennsylvania’s finest. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to provide accessible, career-focused education.”

For PSP graduates, this opportunity is a game-changer. It not only recognizes their hard work and dedication but also paves the way for continuous professional growth.
