About the Homeland Security and Criminal Justice Institute
Purpose: In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Office of Homeland Security was created to strategically coordinate government agencies in order to better forecast, prevent, and defend against future terrorist threats. Six key operational areas are now the focus of Homeland Security: intelligence and warning; border and transportation security; domestic counterterrorism; protecting critical infrastructure; defending against catastrophic threats; and emergency preparedness and response.
The homeland security management area of concentration prepares students for careers in the homeland security industry. Students will examine a span of local, national and international issues and operations from terrorism to disaster planning and response.
