Security Management

The complexities of modern society have combined to generate a variety of threats to business organizations, information networks, government installations and operations, and individuals. The Undergraduate Minor in Security Management is designed for students who are interested in private and government security.

The minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor's degree programs at Michigan State University. The minor should be of particular interest to students who are enrolled in certain programs in the Eli Broad College of Business and the College of Social Science, and to students who are enrolled in the Bachelor of Science degree program in computer science.

The Minor in Security Management is designed to help students to understand:

• The business and technical aspects of protecting private and government assets.
• The administrative, management, technical, and legal problems of asset protection and loss prevention.
• Concepts related to protecting personal and personnel rights, proprietary information, facilities, and other assets of an organization.
• Security's relationship to the value of freedom and democratic principles in our society.
