NS3014 Graduate School Skills

This course introduces a wide range of homeland security-related topics, issues, and ideas to illustrate the importance of thinking about homeland security as an interdisciplinary endeavor. With a focus on strategic and operational issues that cut across the homeland security enterprise, students will explore the past, present, and future of homeland security and defense, and consider the policies and politics that underpin the enterprise at different levels of government. The graduate skills aspect of this course is meant to set up all CHDS master’s participants for success in the program and beyond by providing a solid foundation in both the specific, prerequisite knowledge and abilities that later courses in the curriculum require; and the broader traits and attitudes that facilitate graduate education and, indeed, lifelong learning.
