Overview

PMSGNS Modules

Other modules may be added later. The list is not meant to be inclusive or comprehensive but is designed to illustrate the themes that would be covered under the degree’s broad definition of global and national security. During this period, the modules will be listed under the “Special Topics” course numbers in the catalog of the departments offering the module. Upon the final approval of the Global and National Security degree at The University of New Mexico, the modules will be cross-listed in Graduate Studies and in the departments offering the modules.

Globalization, Technology Management and National Security: This module will focus on international competitiveness as a basis for economic and, therefore, national security. Competitiveness has elements of technology development and innovation, infrastructure in all its forms, financial capabilities to develop and execute such activities and many other interrelated factors.

Environmental Security: Only recently have US agencies begun to take seriously the importance of environmental factors, including climate change and resources, in shaping national security.

Global Nuclear Security and Policy: Most graduates of UNM as well as most New Mexico employees have a scant knowledge of how Washington works.

Human Rights Law and National Security: This module would explore the domestic and international legal constraints on nations and non-state actors during times of war or crises.

Global Health and Human Security: This module combines the diverse fields of public health and preventive medicine, environmental studies and international law in exploring the challenges of population health in globalized world settings.

Fundamentals of Cybersecurity and Directed Energy and National Security: This module covers the fundamental concepts associated with assuring the security of networked computing systems.

Human Decision Making, Leadership, and National Security: The module introduces the psychology of human decision making from two complimentary perspectives.

US Foreign Policy Making, Institutions, and National Security: This module will highlight the major principles of Us foreign policy, the history of key events in modern American diplomacy, and the US government institutions that are directly or indirectly involved in the making of foreign policy.
