With the enactment of the Homeland Security Act in 2002, the United States Congress created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to unify 22 federal departments and agencies into one integrated Cabinet agency. The MSHLS program addresses the six overarching homeland security missions of DHS (2022): Counter Terrorism and Homeland Security Threats; Secure U.S. Borders and Approaches; Secure Cyberspace and Critical Infrastructure; Preserve and Uphold the Nation's Prosperity and Economic Security; Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience; and Champion the DHS Workforce and Strengthen the Department.
Designed for students with interest or experience in responding to terrorism events, domestic crises, and natural disasters, the MSHLS curriculum includes topics such as crisis management, critical infrastructure protection, security technology, and intelligence analysis. Students who have successfully completed Trident’s BSHLS degree can apply up to 12 credits toward the MSHLS degree.
This program is not designed to meet the educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification that is required for employment in an occupation. As such, Trident has made no determination regarding prerequisites for licensure or certification in any state or jurisdiction.
