About the University Program
Who: The University Program is open to any Soldier or Airman who possesses a bachelor's degree and is seeking to pursue a master's in homeland security or emergency management. The program is currently under development with the intent to expand offerings to undergraduate universities, as well as expanding both the undergraduate and graduate program to all 54 states and territories.
​
What: The HSI works with accredited universities who combine their web-based masters degree requirements alongside the HSI's Program of Study (POS), which is a predetermined set of online homeland security courses. The credit received from the HSI's POS allows students to receive an accelerated and more affordable master's degree.
​
When & Where: Any time, it's online! Please visit participating universities on their website links by clicking the university icon above!
​
Why: The University Program's intent is to assist service members in furthering their education to strengthen the community of homeland security professionals within the National Guard.
