From acts of political violence and terrorist threats to environmental catastrophes and global warming, the modern homeland security landscape (HLS) is multifaceted, ever-evolving, and interconnected with nearly every aspect of human life. Contemporary HLS encompasses diverse concerns including local community safety, information protection, digital security, environmental shifts, displacement during emergencies, outbreak readiness, disaster recovery, business security measures, and intelligence operations - among many others.
Participants in UNH's homeland security curriculum develop analytical capabilities, leadership competencies, technical expertise, and strategic vision to foster stronger institutions, safer communities, and enhanced national protection. This expansive, multidisciplinary domain demands practitioners with sharp reasoning abilities, solution-oriented approaches, analytical prowess, and effective communication techniques. UNH's HLS program equips learners to recognize and tackle critical national and global security issues while preparing them for fulfilling careers across government agencies and corporate environments.
Each student must have their official high school diploma or general equivalency diploma.
