JLA 505 Homeland Security: Organization & Policy<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 3 SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This course will be an in-depth examination and evidence-based approach to the complex and critical role of how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operates in and partners with contemporary criminal justice and emergency management organizations. It will examine Homeland Security’s comprehensive influence on federal, state, and local criminal justice organizations since 9\/11. Following the events of 9\/11 through the present day, Homeland Security’s role continues to evolve, which requires continuous understanding and adaptation to threat and hazard paradigms that become prevalent in rapidly changing times. Critical mission areas such as leadership and management, counterterrorism, intelligence analysis, emergency management and response, technology, and critical infrastructure protection are the primary roles affected in the perpetual changing threat and hazard milieu in the United States. They will continue to be at the forefront of DHS’s strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The use of real-world cases and scenarios will be used to guide student learning by providing an opportunity to perform critical analysis in determining effective changes and outcomes in policies or practices and identifying gaps in the decision-making processes. Students will engage in multiple evidence-based case studies to produce well-developed critical analysis. Ultimately, the student will turn analysis into action by developing a written and visual presentation of their research and findings into recommendations and suggestive best practices.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will provide a conceptual construct of how to think about securing networks and critical infrastructures in the U.S. The course examines the relevant questions of public policy, national security, U.S. law, and international norms. This course will also discuss how information superiority and information dominance influence operations associated with establishing and maintaining cybersecurity. It also introduces students to how internet technologies currently under development may affect homeland security in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

JLA 600 Transportation and Border Security 3 SH<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This course on transportation and border security will examine the potential threats to critical infrastructure, transportation networks, and border security due to terror and transnational crime threats.\u00a0 The course will specifically commence with an examination of the history of terrorism as it relates to these significant vulnerabilities, particularly since the start of the new millennium and from a global perspective.\u00a0 The course will continue with a comprehensive analysis of the following key factors: critical and metropolitan infrastructure; bridges and tunnels; commuter roadways; commuter transit; passenger air travel; commercial railways; commercial shipping; the trucking industry; passenger cruise lines; national railways and busses; border and airport security; transnational human and contraband smuggling; and corruption within border and customs enforcement organizations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This course introduces different types of public health and environmental health disasters, their consequences, and the role of homeland security agencies and health practitioners in preparedness, response, and recovery during a health crisis. Through course lectures and readings, case studies, discussion, and debate, students will learn and understand the foundational concepts of the public and environmental health community’s role in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters. More specifically, students will learn more about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s work, the nation’s health protection agency, and how it protects our country against dangerous health threats and responds when these arise. The course is also designed to develop proficiency in analyzing and evaluating the public health response to disasters and identifying solutions and methods for improvement.\u00a0 Certain case studies will also be examined around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

JLA 650 Seminar in Homeland Security \u00a03 SH<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This course is focused on the development of the final project and all students who will graduate are required to enroll. In their last semester, students must develop a project that should demonstrate “a question of practical importance” within the homeland security field, such as creating an effective communication method during a crisis, evaluating an intervention or protocol within a first responder agency, or practice setting. Students will demonstrate achievement of the program learning outcomes by linking together the major concepts, skills, and examples of ethical leadership that were included in the entire program curriculum. Students will develop a plan to research, collect, and revise course artifacts that comprise the final project. The format will be proposed by the student and approved by the instructor. The creative project must demonstrate originality and follow the department’s style requirements – currently the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual. A capstone is often multifaceted, meaning there\u2019s a presentation or performance, a paper, and research that all come together to complete the project.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
