The University of Hawaii at Hilo and the Hawaii Police Department have announced a partnership that will make it easier for law enforcement officers across the state to further their education and earn a bachelor of arts degree in Administration of Justice.

Launching this fall, the Bachelor of Administration of Justice Cohort Program creates a streamlined way for officers to complete their degree from UH Hilo’s College of Arts and Sciences.

Courses will be offered online, allowing officers to continue serving their communities full time while pursuing their higher education degrees alongside peers.

“It’s the first of what I hope will be many workforce partnerships here on Hawaii Island with the county and various sectors of our economy,” said UH Hilo Chancellor Bonnie Irwin.
