Like I said I was more interested in getting some of the knowledge and figured I might as well get a piece of paper that says I did on the way. I'm already in the industry and while I'm not doing bad for myself, I do know that I have some deficiencies in my knowledge of certain areas. I would like to get in to higher end security consulting. I'm not particuarly interested in Homeland security type careers that degree is just because it's the quickest for me to get in my field of study (Emergency Management, Security, Criminal Justice etc). I have both military and law enforcement experience and soon a Homeland Security degree, so it's not really going to specifically be a career booster.
I'm looking for classes that cover the following topics if anyone has any ideas Security Planning and Assessments Vulnerability, Law related to the security industry, as in what are liabilities, what can security officers do legally (this changes based on the state), and repercussions if there is a failure as well as classes on specific types of security such as loss prevention, school, attraction and museum etc. Also possibly specific crime and how to respond as security and not law enforcement, such as white collar etc.
Ooooo, have you checked into APUS?? I think it might be exactly what you are looking for. (very affordable, super-CLEP friendly/transfer friendly, nearly identical to TESC in that regard, they require 15 credits in house I believe). Check this list and see if any of the degrees have the type of courses you are looking for. P.S. Unlike TESC, APUS offers every course that they require.
Also- APUS consists of 2 "colleges" American Public University and American Military University. They are identical, so you just pick whichever you feel would suit your needs. This links you into the military college, but apus dot edu will take you back out to the homepage. AMU Bachelors Programs
