A local college is partnering with an Arizona college to expand educational opportunities for law enforcement and public safety professionals.
Lakeshore College will work with Yavapai College, which now has an accelerated pathway to a Bachelor of Applied Science in Public Safety Administration, making Lakeshore College the first institution in Wisconsin to offer this opportunity.
College representatives gathered yesterday at the Cleveland campus to recognize the partnership and sign an agreement establishing a pathway for eligible Lakeshore graduates to continue their education through Yavapai College’s online bachelor’s degree program.
Lakeshore College President Dr. Paul Carlsen says they’ve heard from law enforcement partners about the importance of providing the pathway with the agreement, “allowing opportunity to complete an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree with a Criminal Justice concentration, then transfer to Yavapai College’s online program.”
Students can begin the pathway in spring 2027, with start options in January or March.
More information about the new partnership can be found at lakeshore.edu.
