National Security Studies Certificate



The Rutgers University-Camden national security studies certificate program (NSSCP) provides students an opportunity to develop their understanding of 21st-century national security threats, including traditional great power competition between states; nuclear proliferation; global warming; pandemic disease; cybersecurity; humanitarian crises; and the challenges posed by failed and failing states; among others. Courses counting toward the attainment of this certificate both emphasize and reflect the growing diversity of security challenges faced by the United States. Recognizing the longstanding tension between security and liberty, this program will also address the interaction of national security and civil liberties in times of emergency.

Eligibility
The NSSCP is open to any student of any major at Rutgers. The program is recommended for all students who are interested in learning more about policy and government in the broad field of U.S. National and Homeland Security.

Benefits

Students who are interested in careers in the State, Defense, and Homeland Security Departments, including the National Security Agency, CIA, FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as in the counterterrorism units of local police forces (or in law enforcement generally) will find this certificate an attractive--and in many cases, necessary--addition to their resumes.
