I’m currently an MI officer branch detailed to Armor. I’d like to continue working for the federal government after my time as an MI officer is complete.

Does anyone have experience in a MA program in Himeland Security or equivalent? Which university is feasible to attend while on active duty? Are there are specific programs you have used while on AD?

Any related experience is appreciated.

I’m looking at the University of Oklahoma they have some pretty good online MA programs.

I recommend Wayland Baptist University. Their Master of Public Administration program offers a specialization in Homeland Security/Emergency Management. I found it to be a well-rounded program that gave me strong foundations in public administration and homeland security. The program can be taken entirely online (or in traditional classes at their campuses). Visit their website at:

A degree in homeland security? Be skeptical. What do you want to do with that.?
