2018-2019 Undergraduate Bulletin

Security Management Minor

Description. The minor in Security Management targets the analysis of security risks and vulnerabilities, along with the administration of programs designed to reduce loss-in public and private institutions and corporations. The minor helps prepare students for careers as managers, consultants and entrepreneurs.

Rationale. Every public institution and private corporation has a security function associated with its mission. Understanding this function within a particular industry or public enterprise enhances the skill set of the professional working in or studying that field. Further, understanding the principles, practices and law within the security field enables individuals to better safeguard their person, property and privacy-both inside and outside of the work environment.

Minor coordinator. Professor Robert McCrie, Department of Security, Fire and Emergency Management (212.237.8386, rmccrie@jjay.cuny.edu).
