Out-of-State Added Porgrams While Under Extended Approval Program Description
Central Michigan University (CMU) has submitted a proposal in accordance with Code of Maryland <br>Regulations 13B.02.01.08I, ‘Further requests by institution’ that has received extended operational <br>approval. CMU would like to offer a new area of concentration in Ingratiated Homeland Security in <br>the previously approved Master of Science in Administration (MSA), and the graduate certificate in <br>Integrated Homeland Security, at the previously approved site at Joint Base Andrews. CMU has a <br>certificate of approval to operate in Maryland through August 31, 2022. <br>Program descriptions for the proposed program: <br>Master of Science in Administration (M.S.A.) – concentration in Integrated Homeland <br>Security: This degree covers all aspects of crisis management with a solid foundation in <br>administrative practices, strategic planning and human behavior, plus concentration courses dedicated <br>to national and global homeland security in the public and private sectors. Students learn to manage <br>response to disasters when they occur, whether natural, man-made or technological, as emergency <br>managers who may serve as coordinators, relief suppliers and responders. The program is 36 hours. <br>Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Integrated Homeland Security: This one-year certificate <br>program enables students to add to their credentials in homeland security and emergency <br>management, preparing them for effective emergency response leadership that paves the way for <br>protection, prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery in disaster situations. The <br>courses in this certificate program will transfer into the full Master of Science in Administration <br>degree with a concentration in integrated homeland security. The certificate program is 18 credits.
