NUCPS courses are directed and taught by professional staff members of the Center for Public Safety. Many instructors are former law enforcement officers with an aggregate of over 200 years of enforcement experience. Guest lecturers, including several graduates of the Center for Public Safety, supplement the faculty and come from law enforcement agencies, educational institutions and national organizations.

Graduates of the NUCPS School of Police Staff and Command receive 8 units of credit (approximately 21.36 semester credit hours) under the Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies quarter system.

Upon successful completion, Supervision of Police Personnel students are awarded approximately three semester hours of Northwestern University Undergraduate credit.

By federal law, transcripts can be issued to students or to a third party, only upon written authorization.

To request an official copy of transcripts, please click here to download the necessary form.

Please submit the completed form and payment ($25 for the first transcript, $5 for each additional transcript, $7 for rush delivery) via US Postal Mail or by fax.

All checks should be made out to Northwestern University. If paying by credit card, please be sure to include the security code.
