OSHP, BGSU partner to create degree pathway for troopers and cadets
COLUMBUS — Bowling Green State University and the Ohio State Highway Patrol will enter into a new agreement today, July 7, to offer qualifying troopers and cadets a streamlined pathway to earning a college degree to advance their careers and meet a growing need statewide for law enforcement professionals with advanced educational credentials.
As part of the new agreement, troopers and cadets starting this fall can receive up to 33 BGSU credits for successful completion of formal training through the Ohio State Highway Patrol Training Academy or the Peace Officer Basic Training Academy, which can be applied to an online associate or bachelor’s degree program in criminal justice at the University. Both degree programs will be eligible for OSHP tuition reimbursement.
The agreement with BGSU aims to expand access to educational opportunities in law enforcement, reduce time to degree attainment for troopers and support workforce development in the state.
