Homeland Security Studies - 5 Year (Bachelor/Master of Science)

Endicott undergraduates may reduce the time required to complete the Master of Science in Homeland Security Studies by enrolling in the “Fifth-Year Program.” During junior year, undergrads take one graduate course - during their spring semester - and a second graduate course during the spring semester of senior year. Because two graduate courses are complete, the student may then earn the master’s degree in one post-grad year (“the Fifth year”) instead of the typical 17 months.

In addition to an interview with the program director, students must submit the following:

• A complete Fifth-Year Program application by December 1st of their junior year
• Two letters of recommendation from undergraduate faculty
• A brief explanation essay explaining why you would like to study homeland security
• You must have a 3.0 GPA in your undergraduate courses to apply
• You must maintain a 3.0 GPA in all graduate courses

Junior Year (one course):

• Spring - Substitute undergraduate free elective for 3 credit graduate course

Senior Year (one course):

• Spring - Substitute undergraduate free elective for 3 credit graduate course
