MSC 720Border Security

Catalog

Border security provides students with a thorough examination of border and entry points into the United States with the assistance of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Department of Transportation. The course will explore modern transportation and border security challenges (specifically violent extremism), as well as techniques to combat those challenges. The transportation and border systems of particular interest within this course include seaports, airports, and border crossings. Students will develop a greater understanding of how to prepare and respond to potential border security threats of violent extremists through the interagency cooperation of federal, state, local, and private organizations.
