To determine the best degree option, you must consider your ultimate career goals.
A homeland security-specific curriculum can provide dedicated coursework in national security, terrorism, and intelligence.
However, our criminal justice curriculum contains many topics you may find in a homeland security curriculum, including criminology, corrections, evidence forensics, civil liability in public safety, criminal investigation, and much more. A degree in criminal justice can potentially translate to a wider variety of job opportunities as well as more pathways to advanced education in the future.
