Degrees in Homeland Security
PoliceLink
Concentrations and degrees in Homeland Security are a new concept within academia. Since 9/11, the federal government has heavily invested in helping community colleges, four-year institutions, and postgraduate schools create Homeland Security curriculum.
Homeland Security is now one of the hottest government careers, with thousands of jobs available in the:
• US Department of Homeland Security
• US Department of Defense
• US Department of State
• Local and state-level departments of emergency preparedness
As opposed to Criminal Justice degrees, which focus on traditional cause and effects of crime, Homeland Security focuses primarily on topics related to emergency preparedeness, counterterrorism, and international studies and policies. Other courses that are not traditionally affiliated with law enforcement, such as biotechnology and political science, are also incorporated.
In addition to traditional B.S. degrees in Homeland Security, many schools also offer certificate programs and even postgraduate degrees. Schools that don’t offer a major in Homeland Security may offer a minor or concentration in conjunction with another major, such as Political Science or Computer Science / Network Security.

I agree with skenniff as I am at AMU doing a Masters in National Security whilst i live in Australia, I am a former Federal Agent and now an Attorney and with 4 degrees this is the best by far. Refer my Linkedin profile to see my qualifications and you will see that I have completed a few and again AMU is outstanding.

I'm pursuing a Masters in Public Administration with a Concentration in Emergency management on line via Jacksonville State Univ, Jacksonville, AL. It is very affordable and although I do like the traditional face to face classes, the on line class does offer the flexibility I need at this time.

If you want a PHENOMENAL school - check out American Public University/American Military University. It is exclusively online. They have a heavy concentration on intelligence/Homeland Security studies. I am currenly attending, working on a degree on Criminal Intelligence. Their per credit hour costs are low and undergrads get a book scholarship so no costs involved for text books. I would HIGHLY recommend this school as all of the professors are actively working in their respective fields. Check it out!
