Overview
The Homeland Security program at Pennsylvania State University is comprised of courses from several Penn State colleges and delivered via distance education through the Penn State World Campus to accommodate the needs and careers of professionals who are already active in homeland security and related fields of civil security, or those interested in transitioning into the field.
The program provides select graduate students with an integrated, cross-disciplinary curriculum that is focused on a set of unified educational goals to help them understand and manage the complexities of homeland security in a global environment. Within the degree program and in addition to its common core curriculum, students choose the base program (general homeland security and emergency management) or one of six options that represent main elements, capabilities, and risk-informed priorities of the homeland security mission space:
- agricultural biosecurity and food defense;
- counterterrorism;
- cyber threat analytics and prevention;
- geospatial intelligence;
- public health preparedness; and
- information security and forensics.
