Show More The idea of homeland security as an enterprise took root as a response to the federal government being caught off-guard by 9/11. The homeland security concept was premised on the assumption that public safety related fields operated too much in isolation from each other. Those cylinders created vulnerabilities al Qaeda exploited. So what is “homeland security?” The Department of Homeland Security establishes a shared vision of homeland security in order to achieve a “unity of purpose” and defining the term as the “intersection of evolving threats and hazards with traditional governmental and civic responsibilities for civil defense, emergency response, law enforcement, customs, border patrol, and immigration”. This vision of homeland security assumes that all of these responsibilities will be seen under one overarching concept of the homeland security enterprise that recognizes the need for joint actions and efforts across previously discrete elements of government and society. Members of the homeland security enterprise, such as DHS, state and local public safety entities, and many corporations are looking for the next generation of homeland security leaders. They are aggressively searching for people who have the comprehensive educational training to be intellectual and strategic leaders in this emerging field. Homeland Security employers are vocal in stating their need for professionals who will contribute new ideas; people who are able to identify and critique unexamined assumptions of policy and strategy, who can contribute their own perspectives, and who have the ability to translate good intentions into effective action. There is genuine need for professionals who can think and operate across the homeland security enterprise while at the same time contributing expertise in one or more area concentrations that comprise the field as a whole. The AMU Homeland Security Studies Program is designed to make students homeland security experts and meet this market need. This is achieved by offering our students a holistic liberal arts homeland security education that covers the range of domestic security effort so students develop the policy and analytical skills necessary to become leaders in the field.

Show More The Bachelor's Degree in Human Development and Family Studies focuses on the study of human development, within the contexts of the family, the community, and the broader national and international culture. The Program is based on a systems view of human interaction, with emphasis on how people are affected by their environments, and how they, in turn, have an impact on others. Careers with this degree Graduates of this program are well positioned to pursue numerous career paths. The specialized knowledge gained during study prepares graduates to work in community-based social service agencies, early childhood education centers and programs, hospitals and hospice organizations, governmental and policy positions, and in research, writing and media development. Human Development and Family Studies professionals are on the front lines in adoption and foster care agencies, overseeing the welfare of young children who may have been displaced by divorce, substance abuse, or death of biological parents.
