Certificate in Security, Safety, and Risk Management
The Certificate in Security, Safety, and Risk Management is intended for professionals who want to acquire cutting-edge security strategies and leadership techniques to successfully manage public safety or emergency preparedness programs in the public or private sector. Students can customize their course of study, choosing among courses addressing public safety, homeland security policy, crisis management, information systems security and cybercrime, and more.
Certificate programs are offered in several disciplines taught at the Stuart School of Business. These programs provide students with post-baccalaureate knowledge of an area of specialization within the respective discipline. Students in these programs register as certificate students. Certificate programs require a set of three to four courses. Students admitted to a master’s degree program may apply some coursework previously taken in a certificate program toward master’s degree requirements. This certificate is designed for professionals who want to increase their knowledge and skills in security, safety, and risk management but do not have the time to pursue a Master of Public Administration degree.
