Why it matters

The promotion credit ladder

Most departments set a college-credit threshold at each rank. Here is how the climb typically looks.

Sergeant

~64 Credits

The first rung of leadership – and the first credit wall.

Lieutenant

~96 Credits

Middle management requires deeper academic standing.

Captain & above

B.A. Degree

A full bachelor’s degree opens the command track.
