Dan Miller writes in the Patriot-News that Penn State Harrisburg has partnered with other colleges throughout the Penn State system to create an online master’s degree in homeland security. The first online courses toward the degree will be offered in the fall. A base program for the online degree is a four-course post-bachelor’s degree certificate in homeland security that Penn State Harrisburg began offering last fall.
Penn State Harrisburg will also hold a two-day symposium at the Harrisburg Hilton in September. The event will highlight the work of homeland security scholars and stress the need for better integration and information sharing between intelligence and homeland security.
