Program Overview
Since September 11, 2001, local, state and federal criminal justice
agencies and American corporations have changed dramatically. We
have witnessed:
- A shift in priorities toward terrorism, international crime,
and cyber crime;
- An unprecedented consolidation into super agencies such as
Homeland Security which have forced the merging of organizational
cultures;
- The creation of new partnerships between public and private
organizations charged with public safety and private security;
- And the challenge to create new strategies to deal with
terrorist threats and traditional crime simultaneously.
These changes have created enormous leadership challenges and it
is clear that our very survival as a nation will depend heavily on
our ability to produce a new generation of exceptional leaders in
the field of criminal justice and homeland and corporate
security.
This
program is offered on the Queens and Staten Island campuses and the University is
exploring off-campus cites such as law enforcement academies.
Many courses are offered online through Distance Learning
and the University offers a blended degree online.
