Homeland Security Minor

The minor in Homeland Security requires 18 semester hours and provides the complementary knowledge and educational foundation for students seeking careers in their uniquely chosen majors with homeland security concerns. Topics include the operation of the criminal justice system, the methods and effects of terrorism, the means of providing security against terrorist acts in public and private businesses and industries, and the legal treatment of terrorist acts including detection, investigation, prosecution, and constitutional issues. Only non-Criminal Justice majors may minor in Homeland Security.
