Master of Science (MS) in Homeland Security
Capella's MS in Homeland Security prepares you to be a leader in this growing field by equipping you with vital skills in homeland security preparedness, mitigation, and management; cross-functional and media communications; infrastructure, cyber, and border security; and threat analysis and resolution. You will learn from faculty who are leaders in the field, with experience working directly for or with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and other federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. To strengthen the collaboration skills important to managing crisis situations, you'll participate in Capella's cutting- edge simulation, Riverbend City, where you will step into various public service leadership roles. By the end of the program, you will have a professional portfolio that demonstrates your homeland security skills and proves your understanding of the concepts that qualify you to be a leader in the field. People who earn this degree often pursue leadership positions in homeland security, emergency management, law enforcement, business continuity, information security, and other public and private sector security and crisis management roles.
