13. Homeland Security Education - Key Issues • Homeland Security education is growing and gaining legitimacy • Hard to bracket – what does HS exclude? • Most programs are grassroots efforts – not top down directed • Degree name not necessarily indicative of underlying courses • Programs that pre-existed 9/11 have subsequently been renamed homeland security (Nexus to homeland security is suspect in some cases) • Quick growth has resulted in wide range of quality – accreditation should help • Qualified faculty an issue – many NPS alums now teaching
