The University of Upper Iowa Master of Public Administration program with an emphasis on Justice and Homeland Security provides learners with the knowledge and skills needed to assume a leadership role and to improve administrative and managerial quality in government and non-profit organizations. The program intends to instill in learners an appreciation for how market efficiency and democratic values must be respected and balanced to promote the public good. Students will be able to apply their analytical, communication, problem solving and research skills to the complex and often interconnected and interdisciplinary problems faced by mangers and leaders in government agencies and non-profit organizations. Coursework for the Justice and Homeland Security emphasis includes: Emergency Management: Planning and Response, Terrorism and Politics, Critical Infrastructure: Vulnerability Analysis and Protection, Correctional Systems Issues and Policy, Theories of Crime and Public Policy, and Psychology of Criminal Behavior. Because UIU graduates are able to leverage the connections between theory and practice to help solve problems, they will be well qualified to assume managerial and leadership positions in the government and in the non-profit sector. |
