The National Protective Services Institute currently provides only two levels of achievement. These include a Certificate Program in either Security Operations, Personal Protection Operations, or Anti-Terrorism, and an Advanced Certificate Program in Security Management. The first three Certificates (Security Operations, Personal Protection Operations, and Anti-Terrorism Operations) will be awarded after the student has successfully completed thirty (30) credit hours of academic requirements (one credit hour is equivalent to a collegiate semester hour) and the Advanced Certificate (Security Management) will be awarded after the student has completed sixty (60) credit hours of academic requirements.
Although the National Protective Services Institute is currently offering only two levels of academic achievement, the future plans include providing four levels of academic achievement. The first two levels are described above (Certificate and Advanced Certificate). The third level, an Associate of Arts Degree (in either Security Operations or Anti-Terrorism Operations) would be awarded after the student has completed an additional thirty (30) credit hours of general education requirements for a total of sixty (60) credit hours. And the fourth level will be a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Security Management awarded after the student has completed an additional sixty (60) credit hours of general education requirements for a total of one hundred and twenty (120) credit hours. Both of the academic degrees will provide for the opportunity to have elective classes as well. Long-term plans include offering additional Associate and Bachelor degrees in Criminal Justice, Homeland Security, and Emergency Management.
The NPSI will pursue Associate and Bachelor Degree options once state requirements have been met.
