Homeland security and emergency management focuses on protecting the country and responding to – and recovering from – man-made and natural disasters. Our program is extraordinarily unique because it combines two important areas of study into one. This model is what employers are looking for.
We are cross-training students to provide you with a well-rounded picture of what is going on in the world today. We'll instill in you the skills to respond appropriately to these challenges and the ability to navigate complex issues. You can choose to focus your degree in either homeland security or emergency management, or complete both tracks.
In the homeland security track, you'll prepare for careers at the federal, state, or local level by:
In the emergency management track, you will learn to manage and coordinate the multi-agency response to and recovery from man-made and natural disasters by:

Create Your Own Path
Our program includes 17 free electives intentionally built into the program that enable you to further your specialization in either homeland security or emergency management. There are also several new courses being introduced, such as our maritime security course, allowing you to take courses that other colleges and universities simply aren't offering.
You can add to your experience by minoring in disciplines such as criminal justice or fire science, or prepare to pursue a master's degree in national security or emergency management.
We also offer outstanding internship opportunities for our students. As just one example of many, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers a six-week summer internship in which our students can earn $25 per hour as a disaster assistance employee. Some of the responsibilities of this position include follow-up and relief efforts and assisting with strategy in the aftermath of disasters such as fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes.
Nearly 80 percent of federal employees work for the Department of Homeland Security, and job opportunities are projected to increase each of the next ten years. Potential careers are available in the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Homeland Security Investigations, the Coast Guard, FEMA, local and state governments, and the private sector. In fact, almost every major corporation in the United States has an emergency management office. The possibilities are endless.
Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.
It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.
A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):
