An online university recently announced that students can now enroll in its online degree program to obtain a Master’s of Science in Homeland Security.
The online degree can be earned through Capella University, an accredited online university with nearly 40,000 students currently enrolled.
The homeland security program is designed to develop leadership skills necessary to homeland security, and provides training in communication, technology, and critical analysis needed to effectively prevent and respond to emergencies.
Courses will focus on topics like emergency preparedness, management, infrastructure protection, threat analysis, media communications, and cyber security.
In addition, students will be able to participate in Capella’s crisis simulation, Riverbend City, where students have the opportunity to assume various leadership roles in a disaster scenario.
Capella’s faculty includes former government officials or consultants who have worked in the Department of Homeland Security, the National Security Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other local, state, and federal agencies.
Dr. Michael Kemp, the faculty chair for the homeland security program, said, “We’re delighted to have assembled such a strong team to teach in our new MS in Homeland Security program.”
Capella University was founded in 1993 and is headquartered in Minneapolis.
