NJCU’s CSLMP doctoral program allows students to study, improve, and develop best practices in civil security with lessons in national security, emergency management, cyber security and defense, homeland security, information assurance, crisis communications, criminal justice, and strategic planning. Together these areas of Civil Security constitute core necessities for improving community resiliency and solving complex challenges and threats that local, state, regional, national, and international policymakers and leaders must confront. Completion of this advanced degree prepares one to assume executive-level responsibilities within government, business or education and to become post-secondary educators.
