The Homeland Security Management Institute of Long Island University is recognized as the nation’s leading private institution for graduate-level education in the field of Homeland Security Management. In H.R.1 (Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007), Congress designated the Homeland Security Management Institute as a DHS National Transportation Security Center of Excellence, making it the only DHS Center of Excellence to offer a graduate degree in the Homeland Security field. Both the 15-credit graduate-level Advanced Certificate in Homeland Security Management and the 36-credit Master of Science in Homeland Security Management degree are academically rigorous and professionally relevant, and both are delivered entirely in an asynchronous online format designed to accommodate the busy schedules of active professionals. The five courses that comprise the graduate-level Advanced Certificate in Homeland Security Management are also the core curriculum of our 36-credit Master of Science in Homeland Security Management degree, and are fully applicable to that degree. Both programs are fully registered with the New York State Education Department and fully accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Our faculty of Senior Fellows and our distinguished Board of Advisors include the nation’s leading experts in Homeland Security, Homeland Defense, and Emergency Management. Our outstanding graduate programs meet the complex contemporary needs of managers and executives in Homeland Security, Homeland Defense and Emergency Management specialties that include emergency management, the military, private sector entities and government contractors, the Intelligence Community, law enforcement, and related government and public safety fields. These unique and dynamic graduate programs are “designed and delivered by professionals, for professionals,” providing exceptional academic and professional credentials that enhance prospects for career advancement.

While admissions standards generally require a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and a grade point average of 3.0 or better, the Institute recognizes that many highly experienced and highly qualified homeland security practitioners may not have fulfilled all the requirements for a bachelor’s degree, and permits exceptionally qualified professionals to apply for admission to the Advanced Certificate in Homeland Security Management program.
