Be part of the growth and improvement in the national security landscape.
“...the world has become more interconnected, more complicated than ever, and new threats are emerging with incredible advances in technology... But yet, because of you, America is safer, it’s stronger, and it’s better prepared to meet whatever threat we — we face.” - President Joe Biden, March 1, 2023
Concentration in Interdisciplinary Security Studies
This concentration will prepare you for a dynamic, quickly changing field — national security. You will gain the tools you need to become collaborative, adaptable professionals. The best members of the national security field aren’t just knowledge experts, they are also experts at working with a broad range of colleagues.
Researchers at NCITE, a counterterrorism research center housed at UNO, have been calling for more comprehensive education for security professionals. Today’s intelligence and security workforce must be effective at communicating, leadership, and staying knowledgeable.
The security landscape of today consists of a broad coalition of governmental agencies, industry partners, and educational institutions. By working together, the security field can stay ahead of the threats of the future. The result of this concentration reflects this need; you will learn a broad range of skills and gain a toolset to help prepare the national security field for the future.
