PGCert in Homeland Security

This online credential provides grounding in both international and domestic homeland security law, with elective choices in areas such as biosecurity and cyber law. It uses courses from the law school's master's degree in the same subject. Students take two of the master's program's three core courses and add two electives to explore an area of interest. Electives include emergency management, counterintelligence, cyber law and policy, terrorism finance, domestic terrorism, biosecurity, crisis communication, project management and managing public organizations. Learning goals include synthesizing knowledge across complex situations, planning and responding in crises, working with diverse teams, and writing professional documents for varied audiences. Applicants must meet the university's minimum standards for graduate admission; online delivery makes it workable for people already employed.
