Careers and licensure

An academic degree and an occupational licence are different things.

Career and licensure statements. The catalog states that graduation fulfills the entrance requirements for the Police Academy at OCC and that completion of an academy is required to become a sworn officer.Source: catalog.oaklandcc.edu · verified October 24, 2026

A degree does not guarantee police academy admission, sworn officer certification, federal employment, a security clearance, a position with a named agency, a forensic laboratory job or eligibility to practice as a psychologist. Those have separate training, scientific prerequisites, examinations or hiring requirements set by the agency, state or licensing board. Academic degrees vs police academy training

Accreditation

This program does not appear in FEPAC's accredited-program list. FEPAC accredits forensic science programs only and is optional; its absence is not a sign that a program is illegitimate, and the school's other programs or institutional accreditation do not imply it.

State authorization (online students)

Not verified — check the school's state authorization page before applying from outside Michigan.
