Common Courses

Coursework in online security management programs is usually the same as in programs held on campus. Undergraduate certificate programs may be completed independently from any other studies or incorporated into a related bachelor’s program, such as those related to criminal justice. Graduate programs, particularly master’s degrees, typically require some type of capstone course or project as a culminating experience. Coursework varies among program levels and schools, but many cover similar areas of concern within security management, such as:

• Public Safety Administration
• Asset Protection
• Professional Ethics
• Security Personnel Laws and/or Regulations
• Security Program Evaluations
• Principles and Theories of Security Management
• Loss Prevention and Mitigation
• Forensic Studies

Online Learning

In a distance learning program for security management, individuals sign into their accounts at times that are convenient to them, access assignments, interact with others in their classes who may be online at that time and participate in asynchronous classroom discussions. Instructors post the syllabus, allowing students to plan for assignments and test dates. Most security management programs can be completed totally online.

• Lodging security
• Executive security and asset protection
• Aircraft security
• Border patrol
• Homeland security

Online degrees in security management are available at the certificate, undergraduate degree and graduate degree levels, and may allow focused studies in specific areas related to security, like organizational security and emergency planning. Graduates with advanced degrees may find work in security fields such as border patrol, homeland security and aircraft security.
