Fall 2025 Lecture
This course meets the requirements of a research seminar for the CIT graduate program. Students focusing on homeland security and related research areas are encouraged to take this course to expand their knowledge of the field in general and in their specific research areas. The students will present their research to one another to gain knowledge of topics in the subject area. The student numbers will include PHSI student research assistants, interns, and students focused on homeland security research topics. The creation of this course will provide these students more structure for engagement, learning and research. Students taking the course will construct a research paper formatted for publication in a homeland security research journal. This course will also promote the interdisciplinary nature of homeland security from information technology to public policy generation and agent-based computer modeling. Permission of instructor required.
