Master of Professional Studies in Homeland Security Studies

The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Homeland Security Studies focuses on securing and maintaining the safety of U.S. residents through practical applications of security and emergency management. From courses on domestic and international terrorism and intelligence research methods to examinations of emergency management and border security, the curriculum dives deep into the policies and strategies used in today’s advanced homeland security sector. Upon completion of core courses, students will also have the opportunity to develop an individual plan of study with the Program Director based on your specific interests, including courses outside the Emergency and Security Studies program available on-campus. The MPS in Homeland Security Studies will prepare students to work in the fields of emergency management, intelligence analysis, counterterrorism analysis, cyber security, border protection and security, and infrastructure protection at all levels of government and in the private sector.
