With the unfortunate rise of terrorist attacks around the globe coupled with unforeseen natural and manmade disasters, skilled homeland security professionals are in high demand. Offered by the Pace University Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, the online MA in Homeland Security prepares students to effectively respond to and recover from natural and man-made disasters and mitigate the impact of terrorist attacks. By combining essential leadership and management skills with in-depth knowledge of homeland security strategies, the program equips students with the tools required to help keep the nation safe.

Ideally located just blocks from the World Trade Center, Pace University’s Manhattan campus is a hub for the study of homeland security. Our online students benefit from the same rigorous curriculum and access to resources as our on-campus students, and have the opportunity to study subjects including:

• Public sector management
• Public sector strategic planning and budgeting
• U.S. Constitution and ethical issues
• Policy analysis and program evaluation

• Intelligence gathering strategies
• Technology and critical infrastructure protection
• Public health issues for homeland security leaders
