Certificate, Police Science
Associates Degree, Police Science
Bachelors Degree, Police Science
Recent years have seen fundamental changes in the securing of public safety. The types of incidents that police professionals are called upon to prevent, investigate, and control have changed profoundly. In addition to their law enforcement responsibilities, police now face the challenging new demands of homeland security and attendant "first response" duties. This complex new role merits a fresh perspective on the nature and scope of the applied knowledge our police forces require.

Master of Science in Public Health Microbiology and Emerging Infectious Diseases
The mission of the M.S. Degree in Public Health Microbiology and Emerging Infectious Diseases is to combine the strengths of two academic departments at the George Washington University Medical Center (GWUMC), one in the School of Public Health and Health Services (Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics) and the other in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences (Department of Microbiology and Tropical Medicine) in order to train a new generation of researchers and public health practitioners. Graduates of the M.S. Program will have an in-depth understanding of the major laboratory, clinical, and public health aspects of humankind's microbial pathogens, and acquire epidemiologic skills relevant to the prevention and control of problems arising from infectious diseases and modern biotechnologies. Areas of emphasis will include: the design and analysis of epidemiologic data; emerging infections; tropical diseases; class A, B, C biological agents linked to bioterrorism; and applications of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics.

Master of Public Health, Program in Epidemiology
The mission of the Epidemiology Program is to educate graduate students by developing the necessary methodological and quantitative skills to successfully work in the field. While nurturing students' capacity to think critically and creatively, we strive to deepen their commitment to improving the public's health, to engaging in and promoting public service, and to being active representatives of the School - qualities we believe are essential for future epidemiologists and public health practitioners.

Certificate, Aviation Safety and Security
The Aviation Institute is an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort established by three institutes within The George Washington University: the GWU Transportation Research Institute, the International Institute of Tourism Studies, and the Institute for Crisis, Disaster, and Risk Management. The GWU Aviation Institute is the first attempt by a major university in the United States to combine the efforts of federal, state, and local government within industry and academia to promote a comprehensive approach to safety and security issues facing the aviation industry in the new millennium.

Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Transportation Safety Engineering
Today's complex transportation issues and automotive designs require the ability to synthesize data from diverse disciplines to find innovative solutions to safety concerns. Automobile safety combines advanced restraint systems including airbags and automatic retracting seat belts, anti-lock brakes, sophisticated structure designs and crumple zones, and safer occupant compartments. The design and analysis of these components is placing a demand for engineers with interdisciplinary backgrounds covering a spectrum of areas including nonlinear structural analysis, biomechanics, thermo fluid dynamics, computer simulation, and statistics. Proper education in this field will enable you to pursue a rewarding career with direct contribution to society by saving human lives and minimizing injuries. Furthermore, with a focus in this area, you can pursue other engineering careers in highway, aviation, and railway safety as well as government legislation.

Technical Security |
|
Master of Science in Engineering Management
The concentration core and elective courses contribute to a comprehensive set of learning objectives related to the systemic engineering and architecting of security in the contemporaneous enterprise. This concentration is not exclusively about computer security, network security, or cryptography, although it contains elements of each of those disciplines. The concentration is a disciplined approach to understanding the management, technical, and legal issues associated with the security of information from a multi-phased approach, resulting in optimal security within risk tolerances. The focus is education rather than training, teaching students how to think about information security challenges in a structured framework. Topics covered include elements of computer security but also include elements of personnel security, physical security, facilities security, and operational security.

Bachelor of Science, Computer Security and Information Assurance
Graduate Certificate, Computer Security and Information Assurance
Graduate Certificate, IT for Justice and Public Safety
Master of Science in Computer Science , focus in Computer Security and Information Assurance
Doctor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Security and Information Assurance
Several academic programs are available in the area of Computer Security and Information Assurance. For example, the certificate program provides a coordinated four-course sequence in computer security and information assurance that emphasizes concepts in Computer Security augmented with current industry standard techniques and challenges. It provides an alternative to the full M.S. program for practicing computer scientists and other information technology personnel who wish to extend their education beyond the B.S. level, and to those who wish to acquire up-to-date knowledge in the burgeoning field of computer and network security. It also provides a seamless migration path for those awarded certificates in this program to continue their education toward the full M.S. degree with full credit for the courses in this certificate program applied to the full M.S. degree program.

Graduate Certificate in Emergency Services Management
Master of Science in Health Science in Emergency Services Management
Management of an Emergency Services organization is a complex and demanding function, with new challenges and responsibilities evolving every day. Emergency Services Management (ESM) is a rapidly growing and constantly changing field that demands expertise in several emerging areas.
The Graduate Certificate Program provides concentration-specific instruction in Emergency Services Management for the working professional in emergency services. The Master Degree program provides a much broader foundation of knowledge for emergency service organization managers, supervisors, specialists and responders in any emergency service related field. At the same time, it provides the participant with an opportunity to develop skills and talents critical to a successful career in ESM. Both of these programs are structured to enable its graduates to examine the emergency services operational big picture as well as the intricacies involved in the management of local and regional responses to a large scale incident. Additionally, the Master Degree program is designed to provide the graduate with an expanded insight of healthcare leadership and important skill in research design and application in real world situations.
The ESM coursework will provide instruction in multidisciplinary planning at local, state and national levels; analysis and development of public policy at multiple government levels and examination of current structure and practices; coordination effective responses to large-scale and high-impact emergencies; analyzing emergency service systems for proper organizational structure, elements of effective policies, interoperability, and interagency interaction; construction of effective strategies in policy and doctrine development for a coordinated, multidisciplinary response; application of principles of information management during terrorism and crisis response; and contemporary perspectives on legal and regulatory issues.
