POHSE - Operationalizing Homeland Security Concepts
Course Description
The capstone is the final step in the learning process. It allows the student to take a cumulative and integrative approach to all that was learned from the previous instructional modules and apply their own personal experiences to the learning process. The student applies their understanding to the concepts of intelligence, terrorist tradecraft, homeland security, and critical infrastructure in an environment within their own jurisdiction. Through instructor interaction and direct feedback, the capstone helps the student review what was learned and observe the application of the learned material in a practical environment. The capstone must be completed as the final course in the MicroCert. It will be offered several times a year in a date specific cohort based group. Please check sections for date availability.
