Marist College, a nationally-ranked, accredited college based in New York, is proud to announce an academic partnership for members of NOBLE -- a group which upholds a commitment to diversity and places a high value on community and the principle of service. As a result of this partnership, members will have the opportunity to enroll in an online law enforcement-focused Master of Public Administration (MPA) graduate degree program.

The Marist campus is located on the Hudson River midway between New York City and Albany.  Founded in 1929, the College is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The Princeton Review named Marist one of the best 368 colleges in the country and U.S. News & World Report consistently places Marist in its top tier.

Marist has offered the MPA since 1980 and, for 20 years, has partnered with the New York Police Department and the New York State Police to deliver the program to their academies. In recent years, Marist’s academic relationships have included associations such as the Women in Federal Law Enforcement, the Fraternal Order of Police, and law enforcement organizations in Florida, California, and beyond.

Marist’s online law enforcement MPA is designed exclusively for law enforcement personnel and combines 8-week courses with the flexibility of online learning. Students represent a diverse mix of professionals from local, state, and federal agencies throughout the nation. This combination of experience provides for a rich and beneficial learning environment and allows students the opportunity to widen their professional networks.

The online law enforcement MPA has a special tuition rate of $333 per credit ($999 per course) for NOBLE members. This represents a savings of over 50% from Marist’s standard tuition of $2,085 per course and results in a total tuition cost of approximately $13,000.
