Minor in Security and Intelligence

In an era where security and intelligence are of paramount importance, the Minor in Security and Intelligence is timely and relevant. This program is designed for students aiming to become professionals in aviation security, commercial security, homeland security, national security, and intelligence communities. It prepares students for the challenges of protecting assets in the face of evolving security threats in both the public and private sectors. 

The Minor in Security and Intelligence provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the intelligence cycle, including practical applications valuable across various professions.
