Bachelor of Science in Homeland Security (STEM)

Program Overview

The Homeland Security degree at our Daytona Beach campus exposes students to the different concepts that help ensure the protection of our nation’s security interests. Topics include studies in:

  • Emergency Management
  • Critical Infrastructure Protection
  • Risk Analysis
  • Industrial Security
  • Environmental Security
  • Terrorism
  • Intelligence
  • Criminal Justice
  • Cybersecurity
  • Law and policy

The Homeland Security industry includes chemical, biological and radiological detection, as well as border, rail, seaport, industrial and nuclear plant security. Other vendors include computer and human resources experts, information and integrated technology companies and various avenues for consultants.

Gain hands-on experience through internships, class projects and a senior capstone research project — all of which prepare students to solve real-world challenges for future clients.

Spend a summer abroad and gain valuable, real-world knowledge while earning up to six credits toward BSHS core curriculum! SSIA Department faculty lead summer trips to countries such as Ireland, England, Germany and Israel where students attend workshops, seminars and behind-the-scenes tours of security-related facilities to learn first-hand how other nations and companies deal with current security issues.

Students transferring into the program who have earned academic credits in homeland security-related course work or professional experience may be granted credit hours to be applied to the degree program with approval from the program coordinator.
