The Master of Science in Legal Studies program presents an interesting curriculum that prepares supervisory personnel to tackle the many challenges inherent in the protection of a nation. It allows justice professionals, health specialists and legal specialists to concentrate on the methodology of security in this narrow context.The program delivers graduate education with three primary objectives in mind: Develop strategies, plans and programs to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, and reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism; Build the organizational arrangements needed to strengthen Homeland Security (HS), including Local/State/Federal, civil-military and interagency cooperation; and
help government leaders make immediate as well as longer-term improvements in HS preparedness, by having their students conduct policy development work on “real world,” actionable opportunities for progress. |
