Program Details

Administrative Officers Management Program (AOMP)

Admission

Departments and agencies are invited to nominate candidates for admission to the Administrative Officers Management Program. Candidates will be evaluated and nominating departments and agencies will be notified of the acceptance of the candidates.

Candidates are evaluated for admission to the program on the basis of prior academic work, demonstrated ability to work at the level at least equivalent to upper-level undergraduates, and the candidate’s assignment within his or her organization indicating management responsibilities or expectations.

Applicants will be accepted without regard to race, color, religion, sex, origin, age, disability status, or sexual orientation. If you need special accommodation to participate in the program, please bring it to our attention. We will be glad to assist you.

Application phases

Phase I:  Fill out the AOMP application form.

Phase II: Online Distance Education registration to the NC State University education system. Instructions are sent approximately one month before the term begins.

Eligibility

Each AOMP Session is limited to 25 managers from municipal, county, state, federal, and campus law enforcement agencies, as well as police working for special governmental authorities such as transit, parks, housing, detention centers or airports.

Because of the diversity in management assignment among agencies, we do not have a specific rank requirement for attendance. However, given the nature of the courses, supervisory or management experience is very helpful in understanding the concepts and promotes active and informed participation. Past classes have included officers at the rank of sergeant through chief and the average experience level has been about 15 years.
