In this course, students choose a work experience, or internship related to homeland security, emergency management, law enforcement, intelligence, homeland security, counter-human suffering, counter-drug or national security.  Students will select, interview and obtain the internship or work experience on their own through normal employment interview processes, so it is suggested to start early to find a viable option.  Students must average 20 hours per week of documented work experience or internship during their chosen HSEC 695 course semester.
