Associate of Science in Homeland Security Requirements

The College of Health and Human Services offers an Associate of Science in Homeland Security (ASHLS) degree that is aligned with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) National Preparedness Goal’s (2015). Those goals encompass five mission areas: prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. As part of DHS, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) helps people before, during and after disasters by coordinating within the federal government to manage unpredictable and ever-evolving threats and hazards. Students explore ways in which DHS, FEMA, and other homeland security organizations protect domestic and international communities. Students who are interested in continuing for a bachelor’s degree can apply all ASHLS credits toward the Bachelor of Science in Homeland Security program.
