Welcome to the Graduate Program in Homeland Security. The “HSEC Program” offers interdisciplinary graduate study leading to the Master of Science degree in homeland security. The HSEC Program is the first of its kind in the nation, taking advantage of the unique learning and research opportunities offered by the “living laboratory” that is the San Diego/Tijuana border region. The HSEC Program provides a vibrant and challenging educational environment where scholarly, educational and research endeavors are applied to real world challenges associated with man-made and natural emergencies and critical incidents on the local, national, and global levels. We currently have over 130 active graduate students who bring their diverse professional, disciplinary, and cultural backgrounds into the learning and research processes. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the Program. We look forward to hearing from you.
