Cohort Formation and Schedule
Students in all Public Safety Leadership programs proceed through the program in cohorts. Cohorts begin and end the program with the same group of colleagues, taking all the same courses. Each cohort reflects diversity in organizations, ranks, experience, gender, race and ethnicity of its students. The cohort builds trust, breaks down traditional and long-standing barriers among organizations, and fosters the development of long-standing professional networks and friendships.
The graduate program is two years in length. The Public Safety Aspiring Leadership Program (PALP) meets two Tuesdays and Thursdays monthly, from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The program places a strong emphasis on the learning and interaction with peers that occurs in the classroom. Attendance at each class is essential.
