Groves of academeUniversity of Colorado announces first-in-nation PhD program
Degree to be offered as early as the fall, pending $1.9 million in federal funding; public policy program will focus on infrastructure threats
Last month we discussed in detail the various educational opportunities available for those interested in expanding their knowledge of homeland security measures.

The University of Colorado, in conjunction with the Naval Postgraduate School in scenic Monterey, California, last week announced a federally funded public affairs PhD concentration in homeland security scheduled to begin as early as next fall, pending $1.9 million in congressional funding. Candidates will focus on infrastructure vulnerability and will be expected to take advantage of liason programs with local first responders.
