Overview
This Human Security and Resilience MSc program from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is an online program designed for working professionals who want to transition into a career or a new role within the field.
Human security and resilience are interdisciplinary approaches to understanding global affairs.

The concept of human security was first defined by the United Nations Development Programme in 1994.
Students benefit from being part of a cutting-edge program whose curriculum is designed to align with current events and security practice, policy, law, and solutions.
