Master of Public Policy - Homeland Security and Emergency Management

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) program at the Trachtenberg School prepares students to dig deep into the data and the details as they explore the theories behind the public policy that shapes our governments and our world.In addition to core coursework, MPP and MPA students choose a field of study tailored to their unique interests and career objectives, either from the list of pre-approved options or designed in consultation with an advisor. All master's students at TSPPPA also complete a capstone project for a client of their choosing.Courses in this field explore the theory and practice in homeland preparedness and responsiveness to both man-made and natural disasters. A concentration in this field will provide students with knowledge and skills related to homeland security policy formulation and implementation at the national, state and local governmental levels. Courses in this field explore the human dimensions, such as leadership in complex networks, and legal, technical and organizational challenges in both preparedness and responses to disasters. With the permission of the field advisor, students may supplement these courses with other relevant courses in relevant disciplines.
