Online DoM in Homeland Security

Online Doctorate of Management in Homeland Security at Colorado Technical University. The distance learning Doctor of Management with a concentration in Homeland Security (HLS) degree program is designed to provide candidates with the theoretical, research and application capabilities necessary to pursue a rewarding career in their chosen field, with specific applications in Homeland Security. The first year focuses on research and studying classic and current management literature. In the second year, the online PhD student begins to form a personal understanding of the management research and methods used in Homeland Security. The final year is reserved for the development of leadership skills, resulting in the production of four publishable papers or a dissertation that must be approved by a three-member committee.

Course content is geared towards teaching students how to assess trans-organizational structures for the management of Homeland Security. Students are also challenged to develop a plan for coordinating networked Homeland Security organizations, analyze how crises unfold and evaluate contingencies for dealing with complications as they arise. Instruction is provided in framing policy agendas for creating inter-organizational collaboration among businesses, government and advocacy organizations.

The Doctor of Management with a concentration in Homeland Security includes twelve 5-credit classes and twelve research and writing courses. One research and writing course is taken each quarter in conjunction with one formal course over a three year period. Courses are taught using Colorado Technical University's Professional Learning Model™ in an executive format: each course combines an active online component with an intensive residential session held twice a year and lasting four days at our Colorado Springs campus.
