Homeland Security Studies Fifth Year Program (M.S.)

M.S. in Homeland Security Studies Fifth Year Program (36 Credits)

Although open to students graduating with any bachelor's degree, Endicott College homeland security studies undergraduates may reduce the time required to complete the master of science by enrolling in the Fifth Year Program.

Undergrads will take one graduate course during the spring semester of their junior year and a second graduate course during the spring semester of senior year. Because two graduate courses are completed, the student may then earn the master’s degree in one post-grad year instead of the typical 17 months.

Courses are offered 100% in-class or 100% online. Endicott undergraduate students are eligible to apply in their junior year. A 20 percent tuition discount applies for Endicott graduates.
