Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of their respective program option, graduates should be able to:

  • Demonstrate and apply advanced knowledge of theories and practices relevant to homeland security.
  • Examine and apply emergency plans to homeland security scenarios meeting state and federal guidelines and communicate them to the impacted public.
  • Apply quantitative skills and methods to analyze homeland security data/information.

Courses
Your courses at Trident University will be relevant and inspiring. As an MS in Homeland Security student, you will take a variety of classes, including Crisis Management, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Security Technology, and Intelligence Analysis. Crisis simulations and scenarios will be used to reinforce students’ skills to succeed in Homeland Security professions in the federal, state, and local government; and industry areas.

You must complete 40 semester credits of core courses and electives. See the Trident University Catalog for full descriptions of all program course offerings.


Concentrations
The Master of Science in Homeland Security (MSHLS) degree program has the following concentrations:

  • Cybersecurity – This concentration will begin by examining cybersecurity policy and laws, and then move on to offensive and defensive cyber actions and intelligence gathering. Real-life scenarios involving threats to our critical infrastructures will be used.
  • Emergency and Disaster Management – Logistics – This concentration provides an integral part of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with its focus on Natural and Manmade disasters. Operating under disastrous conditions in which lives are in danger calls for clear and concise actions on the part of homeland security professionals. Some knowledge in emergency logistics is essential. Many times, staging of material, procurement and dispensing of medical supplies, and coordination of transportation do not go according to plan and will require dynamic planning and adjustments to plans in real-time.
  • Leadership – This concentration focuses on the most current leadership theory, best practices, and organizational case studies to promote student learning and to enable new leaders to best meet the diverse and multi-faceted challenges they will face in organizational leadership roles.

 

See the Trident University Catalog for full descriptions of all concentration course offerings.
