Campbell University now offers a concentration in Homeland Security for Criminal Justice majors.
Homeland Security
The Criminal Justice department also allows students to concentrate in Homeland Security, a program not found at many other universities. This program draws from the areas of Criminal Justice, ITS, Social Science, and Accounting. The courses making up the concentration will relate to the Critical Mission Areas identified in The National Strategy for Homeland Security. The key areas of interest are:
- Intelligence and Warning
- Boarder and Transportation Security
- Domestic Counterterrorism
- Protecting Critical Infrastructure and Key Areas
- Defending Against Catastrophic Threats
- Emergency Preparedness and Response
Homeland Security students will understand the processes of the criminal justice system, learn vocabulary associated with homeland security, become familiar with domestic and international terrorist organizations, recognize strategies for disaster prevention, and examine areas of the world in which international terrorist organizations are formed.

- Make yourself a viable candidate for U.S. Homeland Security jobs, as well as many other government, law, and criminal justice positions.
- Enjoy learning about something new and adding a unique perspective and specialization to your degree.
