The Homeland Security program at UNH Manchester will give students the tools to defend, protect, act and react to a variety of threats, from small- and large-scale attacks of violence and bioterrorism to catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes.
The program covers a wide range of topics that describe the entirety of the homeland security enterprise, allowing students to learn about terrorism, emergency management, critical infrastructure protection, environmental and human security, strategic planning and decision making, intelligence, physical security and the legal basis of homeland and national security.
Homeland security is a broad field providing students with career paths in the line of defense in many diverse industries, from the private to the public sectors, including: cyber security, intelligence analysis, law enforcement, emergency management, disaster or crisis management, immigration and travel security, policy making, private security, and critical infrastructure protection.
