Description
This course is designed to give you an over view of the public policy process as it specifically applies to security policy in the United States. We will first explore and compare theories of policymaking and the tools we have available to understanding public policy. We will then use these theories as lenses to explore substantive topic areas in security policy, specifically international security, foreign policy, and homeland security. During the last weeks of the course, students will also evaluate and weigh in on important debates within security policy including the thorny issues of sovereignty, liberty, and efficiency. All of this material will be used to compare and critique two popular books on the security challenges facing the United States.

Student Identity Verification Measures
  • All online classes are password protected. Students must provide name, date of birth, and the last four digits of their social security number, to receive an email and password from The University of South Dakota. Access to online courses are managed through USD systems only and not a student's personal email.
  • Assessment of student learning in online classes often assists in student identity verification. Many tests are proctored in person by University employees at the University's statewide higher education centers in Pierre, Rapid City, and Sioux Falls, SD and in Vermillion, SD at the Division of Continuing and Distance Education. Students in other states make application for a professional proctor in their region who is approved by The University of South Dakota in advance of testing. The Proctor Application can be found by logging into myU. Portal: Distance > Student Support > Proctor / Testing Info. University staff evaluate carefully the proposed proctors assessing potential conflicts of interest. Approved proctors verify student identity prior to each test.
  • Finally, a growing number of online courses supplement instruction with web conferencing. This technology allows the professor to further authenticate identity through voice recognition and visual recognition if webcams are used.
