The program delivers continuing education with four primary objectives in mind:

• Develop strategies, plans and programs to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, and reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism;

• Build the organizational arrangements needed to strengthen Homeland Security (HS), including Local/State/Federal, civil-military and interagency cooperation; and

• Help government leaders make immediate as well as longer-term improvements in HS preparedness, by having their students conduct policy development work on “real world,” actionable opportunities for progress; and

• Educate professionals to carry out the diversity of tasks inherent in Homeland Security.

Admission is open to those with professional and academic interests in the field of Homeland Security.
