Notes from Alumni 

My experience with Neumann’s Public Safety Administration degree program could best be described as exactly what I needed at the exact time I needed it.
I was a very busy public safety supervisor working considerably more than full-time hours and at the same time, I was trying to be an engaged husband and father.
It was a critical time for my professional growth efforts and the flexibility of the PSA program allowed me to stay on track.
The Neumann University professional staff were incredibly supportive and clearly understand the challenges facing Paramedics, Police Officers and Firefighters. - Police Chief Thomas Johnson - Dover, Delaware

You’re never going to get as many credits for your career as you get at Neumann. Our training means a lot to their program. - Fire Chief Sean Greene - DC area
