RA or NA Homeland Security program

I need info on Fairleigh Dickinson University. They have a graduate certificate in Global Security and Terrorism that looks like what I need. I will be calling on Monday.

Also I would like to find any other (Master) Homeland Security program. It can be RA or NA.

 

Homeland Security

The only program that I am aware of is from NCU.

NCU offers an MBA with a homeland security specialization.

American Public University and American Military University both offer distance-learning MA programs in homeland security. Courses in homeland security can also be taken within many of their other master's programs.

Both are DETC accredited as well as candidates for regional accreditation. See http://www.apus.edu/APUS/

 

Mr. Walters posted about ten seconds before I was also going to hit "send" for the APU info. They have a good reputation and he's right about the potential for RA accreditation.

Plug this search string, precisely as typed -- punctuation, spacing, capitalization and all -- into the Google search box and see what comes up:

• +"homeland security" +distance +"master of arts" OR "master of science" OR graduate certificate site:.edu

Such a string should yield these results (or, if clicking on that didn't work, then just copy and paste the foregoing search string into the Google search box). Just be careful 'cause a bunch of unaccredited crap (like American Coastline University and Canyon College, just to name two) come up. Remember that a bunch of unaccredited schools are grandfathered-in on the use of the .edu gTLD (global top-level domain), so don't assume that every listing is legit. Check accreditation. Also do creative link following to learn about even more stuff than is just linked-to in the search results pages.

Finally, modify to search string to remove or add things. For example, just remove "site:.edu" to broaden the search to every web site, no matter what gTLD or ccTLD it uses. Or remove "+distance" if you'd like all programs, whether distance or brick & mortar, etc.

Hope that helps.
