| Rationale: |
| Given the current political environment, it is important that we help our students to understand the national and international environment relevant to Homeland Security. The courses in this Minor will expose our students to the types of threats to the U.S. that exist and what our government is doing to intervene and respond to those threats. |
| Bulletin description: |
| This Minor will help students to gain a better understanding of the threats facing the Homeland as well as what our government is doing to intervene and respond to those threats. |
