The goal of the Graduate Certificate in Security and Resilience Studies is to prepare students to manage contemporary transnational risks by offering them an opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles and policies for security and resilience of critical systems. This goal is achieved by:

  • Passing a core course in security and resilience policy that introduces students to a comprehensive approach to managing transnational risks
  • Passing recommended foundation courses for cyberspace policy, security administration, and counterterrorism specializations that provide a broad perspective on transnational threats and the means states use to address them
  • Learning how to work with others in groups and exercise leadership in teams by completing group assignments and projects

The certificate requires students to take three courses for a total of 12 semester hours. This program can be completed at Northeastern University’s Boston campus or online.
