Homeland Security
Our program is designed to provide students with comprehensive knowledge and skills in areas related to national security, counter terrorism strategies, emergency management, and related disciplines. The program typically spans two years, with each year comprising six Trimesters. The first year focuses on building a strong foundation in homeland security, emergency management, and security measures. The second year includes more advanced courses in counter-terrorism strategies, intelligence, and allows students to specialize in areas of interest. The capstone projects provide students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge to real-world homeland security and counter-terrorism challenges.
Upon completing this program, students will have a strong understanding of homeland security principles, counter-terrorism strategies, and specialized knowledge in areas such as border security, emergency response, or transportation security. Graduates of this program can pursue careers in law enforcement, intelligence agencies, emergency management, public safety, or private sector security with a focus on protecting national security and countering terrorist threats.
