Post-master’s Certificate in Homeland Security

With today’s emphasis on Homeland Security and the fast pace of change for criminal justice practitioners and those in related fields, graduate level professionals strive to stay educated and informed on current trends.

Students must complete the four area specialization core courses and two electives. Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA in order to earn the certificate.
