The Bachelor of Arts degree in Homeland Security Corporate Management and Assessment has been developed to meet the educational needs of non-traditional students returning to college to complete a degree at times convenient to their busy schedules. This unique program features cohort-based instruction aimed at individuals over 23 years of age who have at least two years of college credit.
The student will have completed a minimum of 40 credit hours of college credit before commencement of professional course work. Exceptions to these criteria may be made on a case-by-case basis as judged by a program admissions committee. The modular sequence of the upper-level courses recognizes the needs and characteristics of adult learners while emphasizing themes such as problem solving, critical thinking, self-analysis, communication, and ethical decision-making.
Specifically, this program is designed to prepare Homeland Security Corporate Management and Assessment professionals who are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to function as managers of corporate or industrial security programs and who are knowledgeable in state-of-the-art vulnerability assessment, risk management, consequence management, disaster recovery, and continuity techniques and technologies. Today’s Homeland Security Corporate Management and Assessment Managers must not only respond to the challenge of recruiting and retaining talent, they must also understand federal, state, and local regulations, processes and resources so that they may assure not only corporate compliance but also corporate responsibility to the local community.
The Homeland Security profession is one of the most challenging and leading-edge needs in the modern business world. The war on terrorism following the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, is an asymmetric conflict unlike prior conflicts, creating an immediate need in industry and the corporate world for qualified professionals to assess vulnerability and design, implement, and manage security programs which are compliant, current, and dynamic.
