Colleges That Offer Homeland Security Degrees

Homeland security refers to the reduction of and response to terrorist activity and border security issues in the United States. This growing field is largely associated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which implements various governmental programs that are concerned with terrorism, counterterrorism, immigration and disaster preparedness. Many schools in the United States currently offer both undergraduate and graduate degree programs in homeland security.
