Overview
The Security Management master's degree and graduate certificate are offered online or on campus at the University of Denver in the evenings, or in a combination of both, to meet the needs of busy adults. Security management professionals are in high demand and University College prepares graduates to meet this demand with unparalleled competence and success. If you are an established or aspiring mid−career security professional responsible for security in commercial, industrial, or governmental organizations, a security degree or graduate certificate from University College is for you. The Security Management degree features three specialties: emergency planning and response, information security, and organizational security−each offering the most innovative instruction from leading professional practitioners who work in the fields they teach.
Private industry is one of the fastest growing security sectors, as organizations and businesses need to protect their employees and customers, physical assets, intellectual property and information, and maintain continuity of operations after major disruptive events. Currently, private sector spending on security management is at least $130 billion per year with more than two million people employed, and these figures will continue to grow. The Security Management degree and graduate certificate curriculum is based on recommendations from ASIS International, allowing for the most up−to−date and relevant instruction available. University College is an active member of the ASIS Foundation's Academic/Practitioner Symposium.
