College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity (CEHC) at the University at Albany

In response to

How is the program regarded by the public? (news coverage, etc.)

This program is viewed as a novelty to the public, as it is the first college of its kind to offer a degree in homeland security and emergency preparedness. A number view it as a step in the right direction and an innovation. The program does not appear to have been around for long enough to yeild graduates, so those results are still unkown.
