Focuses on contemporary issues associated with border security, immigration, and transnational crimes. The course will trace the history of American border security and immigration policy, to include some comparison to non-U.S. approaches, with a focus on theories of immigration, assimilation into the country, the politics of immigration enforcement, and the dangers associated with transnational and other crimes committed by and against those seeking to enter the country. Students will be required to complete an Independent Study (IS) course from the FEMA Independent Study Program culminating in a certificate that they can list on their resume as evidence of specific knowledge in the field.
