It was very rewarding having other students critique your work and giving different perspectives on the subject you were studying. Other students were subject matter experts and they gave excellent feedback on the direction one should go on a particular subject.

Degree Information
The Security Management program is offered in the accelerated, cohort-based format, concentrating on preparing individuals for security and managerial positions in both the private and public sectors. It is designed with a focus on five general areas of expertise considered to be critical to management and the security field: Principles of Homeland Security, Personnel Management, Organizational Interaction, Infrastructure Security and Threat Assessment, and Communication Skills. Within each of these respective areas are developed learning outcomes according to which students who graduate will be expected to be able to, 1) analyze and apply basic security theories to Homeland Security policies and activities; 2) prepare, manage, and critique personnel involved in emergency response situations; 3); compare and integrate organizational standard operating procedures (SOPs); 4) analyze and construct risk analyses and threat assessment reports; and, 5) appraise and produce emergency response plans.
