Security Studies - The University of Texas at San Antonio

Security Studies from The University of Texas at San Antonio is a Campus Certificate Law degree that prepares you for a Legal career. The Graduate Certificate in Security Studies (GCSS) is a 15-hour concentration available to special graduate students who have been admitted to UTSA by application through the normal graduate admissions process. Applicants should become fully familiar with the requirements for "special graduate" admission status, as discussed in the University graduate admission section of this catalog. The GCSS is a program that mainly serves the needs of San Antonio regional professionals, such as leaders in military and civilian contract functions, who require advanced education short of full degree programs and in areas directly connected with their work in homeland security and defense at national, state, and local levels. The Department of Political Science and Geography is responsible for all coordination of students participating in the certificate program. The program's goals are to expand horizons of awareness of domestic and global conditions that reasonably can be expected to impact on homeland security and defense in a democratic society, and to deepen awareness of how political systems address particular conditions of threat arising from natural disasters and external attacks. It is assumed that most applicants will have an established record of basic expertise through their assignments in operational areas in domestic or international security in private or public organizations.
