American Military University’s top graduate programs are mostly focused on security. “Our faculty members are practitioners in the homeland security, holding leadership positions at the CIA, TSA, FEMA, and many other national and regional law enforcement, fire and emergency organizations,” LaGuardia said. “After 9/11, a huge number of jobs were created and filled. But professionals in the field began to realize over time that training is not enough; that education is needed for leaders to develop the critical thinking skills required to deal with the complexities that our homeland security challenges present.”
Master’s programs in security include more than just learning about domestic terrorism. The programs develop critical thinking and planning skills in emergency & disaster management, criminal justice and logistics.
“Homeland security, logistics, and transportation/cargo security are among the fastest growing areas in the job market today,” LaGuardia said. “Graduates from our programs find opportunities in both the public and private sectors; from local, state and federal law enforcement; to emergency services and administration; to business intelligence operations and analysis.”
