Master’s
Program in Biosecurity to launch in late 2004
Planning continues on the development of a Masters of Science
Degree in Biosecurity. The first of its kind in the nation, the degree
will be offered in a distance-learning format and will be multidisciplinary
in nature. It is being designed as a competency-based curriculum aimed
at preparing individuals for leadership positions in the emerging field
of biosecurity. Faculty from the Law School, the Medical School, the School
of Allied Health and the Department of Political Science are participating
in the curriculum development efforts. We anticipate that the program will
be ready for its first students by late fall.
A number of individuals have already expressed interest in the inaugural class.
Please
let us know if you are interested in the program as we anticipate limited enrollment
for the first year.
