¿Qué aprenderé?

Available on both the Manchester and Durham campuses, our homeland security program gives you the tools to defend, protect, act and react to threats small and large, from bioterrorism to data breaches to natural disasters.

From terrorism and natural disasters to immigration, data security, climate change, corporate security and national security intelligence, pandemic response and community resilience—today’s threat environment is complex and dynamic. Students in the homeland security (HLS) program build the analytical, decision making, technical and strategic skills central to ensuring security for agencies, organizations and the nation. This broad, interdisciplinary field requires professionals who possess critical thinking, problem solving, analytical and communication skills. At UNH, HLS students are empowered to identify and address challenges of national and international significance, and to pursue diverse and rewarding careers in the public and private sectors.
