CJ 2061Intro to Homeland Security

Catalog

The course exists to introduce interested St. Francis College students to the operations of the United States Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security was created following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. DHS currently encompasses twenty-two federal agencies, including the Secret Service, US Coast Guard, TSA, FEMA, and US Customs and Border Protection. The course is a requirement for students who declare a concentration in Homeland Security. The course will fit well in the field's curriculum as a specialized topical course of instruction for students who seek employment with the federal government, particularly with agencies in the Department of Homeland Security.
