Master of Science in Human Resilience
Bachelor of Science in Homeland Security
This program prepares students for leadership positions in the field of human security and resilience with courses taught by faculty mentors who are subject-matter experts in the field.
Embry-Riddle’s Bachelor of Science in Homeland Security is one of the very first programs in the nation to empower its graduates with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to be successful throughout the Homeland Security enterprise. With evolving security needs in the U.S. government, the B.S. in Homeland Security aims to provide students with a foundation in security and a solid core of Homeland Security-related courses, which prepare them for roles in government and the private sector. As the global terrorism threat increases, cybersecurity technology continues to develop and the effects of climate change devastate entire communities, students learn how to better protect citizens with a curriculum taught by faculty who possess real-world experience. The bachelor’s degree program also helps its graduates develop highly marketable skills such as the ability to perform risk analyses, write emergency management plans and understand how to identify and protect critical infrastructure. Minor in Military Science The Military Science minor is designed to provide an academic focus for students interested in military history, leadership and security without the requirement of Reserve Officers Training Corps participation. It is a great addition to any major for students who are, or plan on, serving in the military or who wish to work in a field within and adjacent to the military-industrial complex. Students gain a general working knowledge of the military, its history and its place in the structure and support of the government. They also learn the tenets of Homeland Security and basic management principles. These core elements act as a foundation for further study in a variety of related areas.
