To accommodate the unpredictable working schedules of professionals,
managers and executives in Homeland Security fields, the Advanced
Certificate in Homeland Security Management program's online classes are
'asynchronous' \-- students are not required to be in a particular place
at a particular time. Instead, students can access their virtual
classroom when it is most convenient for them. The program's curriculum,
structure and design facilitate a high level of interaction between and
among students and Senior Fellows. The online Advanced Certificate is
ideal for busy professionals eager to enhance their career
opportunities, for military personnel subject to mobilization or
deployment, and for students aspiring to careers in Homeland Security.

While admissions standards generally require a bachelor\'s degree from
an accredited institution and a grade point average of 3.0 or better,
the Institute recognizes that many experienced and highly qualified
homeland security practitioners may not have fulfilled all the
requirements for a bachelor\'s degree. Highly experienced practitioners
who possess exceptional credentials and outstanding expertise but have
not completed their bachelor\'s degree can apply for admission to the
Advanced Certificate in Homeland Security Management. A number of
special conditions apply. Contact the program's Director for more
information on the Institute's exceptional admissions policy.
