Application to the Master’s ProgramThe Naval Postgraduate School Center for Homeland Defense and Security is now accepting applications for cohorts in two locations. The curriculum and structure of the programs are identical.
Monterey Cohorts: In-residence course sessions are held at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. The majority of the Monterey cohort participants are state and local officials with a mixture of DHS and other federal agency leaders. National Capital Region Cohorts: In-residence course sessions are held at OPM's Eastern Management Development Center in Shepherdstown, WV as part of the DHS Homeland Security Academy. The majority of the National Capital Region cohort participants are DHS and other federal agency leaders with a mixture of state and local officials. All applications completed by the deadline will be considered for cohorts in both locations. You do not need to designate a location or date during the application process.

  One of the points that I try to include in any comments on my experience in the CHDS Program is this - "In addition to the academic experience, one of the great benefits of the program is the opportunity to participate in discussions of historical and contemporary homeland security-related issues from the perspective of the various and varied disciplines that make up the class. I do not believe that opportunity exists in any other program and I highly recommend CHDS to anyone in federal, state, or local government with homeland security-related responsibilities."
