TheNavalPostgraduateSchool’s(NPS)CenterforHomelandDefenseandSecurity(CHDSorthe

Center) is the nation’s homeland security educator. It was created by Congress, the U.S.

Department of Justice andU.S.Department ofDefenseonApril 11, 2002, in response to the

tragicanddevastatingSeptember11,2001terroristattacks.TheCenter’screationwasinpartto

answer the nation’s question, “How can we prevent future attacks and, if there is another

attack,howdoweensurethatwearepreparedtorespond?”Tothisend,CHDSwasgiventhe

THE ORIGIN OF THE CENTER FOR HOMELAND DEFENSE AND

SECURITY

 

On the morning of 9/12, I walked into my office (I was serving as Dean of the International School 

at the time) and was immediately called to meet with the NPS president and provost. They said 

“Paul, the School has to step up to the plate. We need to not only restructure our curriculum to 

deal with the new threat, but enroll entirely different types of students – especially the state and 

local leaders who will be vital to the effort.  Have at it.” The rest is history still in the making. 

PaulStockton,StanfordUniversity

FormerDirector,CenterforHomelandDefenseandSecurity 

OnApril 11, 2002, following severalmonths of intensive staffwork, CHDSwas createdby an

interagencyagreementbetweentheUnitedStateDepartmentofJustice’s(DOJ)OfficeofJustice

Programs(OJP)andOfficeforDomesticPreparedness(ODP),andtheNavalPostgraduateSchool

(NPS). This agreement envisioned an evidence‐based2 homeland security leadership

development curriculum to help develop the state, local, and federal leadership needed to

defeatterrorism.Itspecifiedthatgraduatesofthecourseof instructionwouldbepreparedto

strengthenU.S. capacity to deter, defeat, and effectively respond to terrorist attacks, and to

buildtheinteragencyandcivil‐militarycooperationthathomelandsecurityrequires.Since2002,

theoriginalagreementhasbeenadoptedandmaintainedbyDOJ/OJP/ODPsuccessoragencies

EducationversusTraining

TheU.S.DOJ/OJP/ODP,apredecessoragencytoDHS,wastheinitialsponsoroftheCenter.By

1999,ODPwasheavilyinvolvedinthedeliveryofeducationandtrainingprograms.Asignificant

part of themission and operation of ODP revolved around the promulgation of training and

education programs for state and local personnel engaged in countering incidents involving

Weapons ofMass Destruction (WMD). Educational and training providers and offeringswere

plentiful. However, concern was expressed about the ability of these programs to meet the

needsofpresentandfuturejurisdictionsbeingserved.Infact,thereweresignificantdoubtsthat

the programs being offeredwere not evidenced based andwere inconsistent with the tasks

requiredtocounterWMDactivities.

Accordingly,ODP sponsored the collaboration of three experts – a strategic planner, aWMD

trainingdeveloper,andaneducationalcurriculumtrainingspecialist–toidentifytheuniverseof

tasks tobeperformedby recipientsof its trainingprograms.Thiseffortwascombinedwitha

studyofprominentapproachestothedevelopment,delivery,andrevisionoftrainingprograms

(guided by taxonomies of education objectives common to allmajor curriculum‐development

initiatives).Theseresearchactivitiesevolvedintoastrategicprocess involvingmultipleSubject

• Whoshouldbetrained?

whichtask(s)tomaximizesuccessintraining?

• Whichmethods aremost capable of evaluating competencies and performance upon

completionoftraining?

• What gaps need to be remedied in existing training to assure consistency with the

findingsofthetrainingstrategy?

The key finding of the strategy most germane to CHDS related to the final question of the

strategy:Whatgapsneedtobe remedied inexisting training toassureconsistencywith the

findingsofthetrainingstrategy?Thestrategydiscoveredthirty‐twotasksthatwerenotbeing

accommodated through existing training programs – complex tasks involving coordination

among and between disparate agencies and organizations or the management of activities

Complex,abstracttasksorissuesaremostappropriatelycategorizedasfittinginthesetoptiers.

These tasks are difficult to include in a training program and aremore likely to be vested in

graduateeducationprogramswhereproblem‐basedlearningisfrequentlyconducted.TheODP 

Training  Strategy  found that the tasks in the lower levels of the cognitive domain were

accommodated by existing training programs or easily developed in those training programs

but,becauseofthehigher‐tierstatusofthetasksnotaccommodated–aswellasthelevelsof

complexity and abstraction represented by those tasks – graduate education, not training,

appeared to be the best venue to address the tasks and activities residing in the gap. The

creation of CHDS and the graduate curriculum incorporating the complex, abstract tasks and

activitiesnotmetbyexistinghomelandsecurity trainingprograms(and identifiedthroughthe

ODP  Training  Strategy as critical tasks) provided an evidence‐based curriculum informed by

expertsineachdisciplineassociatedwithhomelandsecurity.

ForCHDSandhomelandsecurityleadership,thedistinctionbetweeneducationandtrainingand

therelativemeritofthetwoapproachestolearningishighlyrelevant.Educationalprogramsat

the graduate level focus on application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. These programs

produce studentswho are capable of assessing and judging knowledge as opposed to simply

memorizingor recallingknowledge.Graduate studentsacquireand improve their capacity for

critical and independent thinking. These students are prepared to effectively perform and

accomplish complex, non‐routine tasks that cannot be effectively performed relying on

THE FOUNDATION OF CHDS: GRADUATE-LEVEL EDUCATION

Aligning the efforts of local, state, federal, and military partners for homeland security is no easy 

task  and  can  only  be  accomplished  through  a  common  framework  of  professional  education.  

That framework must not perpetuate the dogmas of the past, but challenge the status quo, break 

down barriers that divide us, and return a robust network of highly competent practitioners that 

will,  together,  ensure  the  protection  of  our  citizens  and way of  life.    The Center  for Homeland 

Defense  and  Security  at  the  Naval  Postgraduate  School  provides  such  an  education  and  in  so 

doing, is an asset vital to our national security. 

JohnP.Paczkowski,Director,EmergencyManagementandSecurity

ThePortAuthorityofNewYorkandNewJersey

To achieve and realize the Center’s full potential, programs capable of supporting and

maximizing thenation‐wide reachof themaster’sprogramweredevelopedand implemented

between 2002 and 2008. These include the Executive Leaders Program (ELP), the Mobile

EducationTeam (MET), theUniversityandAgencyPartnership Initiative (UAPI), and self‐study

courses offered online to non‐matriculated homeland security professionals. The Homeland

Security Digital Library (HSDL) and the Center’s electronic journal,Homeland  Security  Affairs,

amplifythebroaderdisseminationofresearch inthefieldofhomelandsecurity. Allprograms

aresupportedandenhancedbytheCenter’swebandteachingtoolsdevelopmentteams.

During its six year history, funding support for the Center has been provided by the federal

government via appropriations to the United States Department of Justice and different

divisionsoftheUnitedStatesDepartmentofHomelandSecurity.TheCenter’sFY08fundingwas

TheMaster’sDegreeProgram

Homeland  Security  is  continuously  evolving,  both  as  an  academic  discipline  and  as  a  national 

strategy. As a result, there is an incredible depth and breadth to the discipline, engaging diverse 

populations  from  admiralty  to  zoning,  with  involvement  ranging  from local  fire  services  to 

deployed  troops  overseas.  I  have  been  constantly  impressed  by  the  breadth  and  depth  of  my 

fellow  students  and  colleagues  in  the  CHDS Master’s  Degree  Program.  They  demonstrate  the 

intellectual curiosity, the professional experience, and the organizational and administrative skills 

to  lead  this  national  effort.  They  are,  truly,  the  "best  and  the  brightest"  and  vitally  needed  to 

assure our national security.

Recruitment

Recruitment  through personal contact  is extremely effective, particularly on  the part of alumni.  

We  can  identify  potential  students  –  among  co‐workers  and professional  associates  – who are 

ready for the personal and professional challenge that CHDS offers. Also, we take great pride in 

our continued association with CHDS, and are highly motivated  to provide  the center with new 

students,  people  able  to  solve  today’s  “open  questions”  in  the  field  of  homeland  security  and

HeatherIssvoran,DirectorofCHDSProgramOperations

All applicants to the master’s degree program must hold a bachelor’s degree (from an

accredited institution) and be employed full‐time by a federal, state, tribal, or local

governmental organization. Each qualified applicant is then subjected to a highly competitive

selectionprocess,basedonthefollowingcriteria:

• Academic  Credentials: Academic credentials must reflect a complete record of the

applicant’s academic experience beyond the secondary level, including post‐graduate

work(primarilytranscriptsofgradesandscoresfromvariousgraduateschoolentrance

exams, although such exams are not mandatory for admission to CHDS). Academic

credentialsaccountfor30%ofanapplicant’spotentialadmissionscore.

• Essays: Four essays are required, exemplifying the tenets of graduate education:

The  interagency  and  multidiscipline  environment  I  now  rely  on  every  day  to  carry  out  fusion

andoutreachprogramsthatleveragetheexperience,faculty,andcurriculumofCHDS.

MobileEducationTeam

The Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) MET seminar provided Mayor Menino and 

his  leadership  team  with  a  great  opportunity  to  discuss  some  of  our  most  critical  homeland 

security  issues.  The MET  facilitator  was  professional  and  engaging,  helping  to  ensure  the  full 

participation of our Cabinet members. The experts on the panel were very accomplished, added 

great insight and experience to our discussion, and proved to be a wealth of information for our 

participants. During the MET seminar, Boston's leadership team was able to identify and discuss 

some of  the key next  steps our city must  take  to help  improve our capacity as a community  to 

prevent, respond to, and recover from a disaster.

The CHDS Executive Leaders Program has greatly  increased my understanding of the role of my 

department  and  the  fire  service  in  protecting  the  nation.  Responsibility  for  homeland  security 

relies  on  federal,  state,  local,  and  private  agencies  working  in  cooperation.  In  addition,  the 

contacts I've made with national leaders from every discipline are an invaluable asset in ensuring 

the nation's preparedness.

The  ELP  gave  me  an  in‐depth  understanding  of  and  appreciation  for  the  local/state/federal/ 

industry  partnership  so  essential  to  ensuring  effective  homeland  security  at  every  level.  Even 

more  importantly,  my  personal  interaction  with  colleagues  from  every  component  of  this 

partnership across the country deepened my understanding of the many complex and intertwined 

issues we must face together to ensure success.

The Executive Leaders Program has been the most beneficial professional development course  I 

have  ever  experienced.  The  opportunity  to  learn  from  the  experienced  staff  at  CHDS  and  NPS 

combined  with  the  in‐depth  conversations  with  my  classmates  combined  to  create  a  super‐

charged atmosphere highly conducive to innovation and information exchange. I never failed to 

return  to  work  with  pages  full  of  notes  and  ideas  that  I  could  implement  at  my  company  to 

improve our emergency management and homeland security capacity. I felt especially privileged 

to be able  to bring a perspective  from  the private  sector  that many of my  classmates had not 

previously considered, and to help shape the role we should play in future disasters.

The Executive Leaders Program was one of  the best educational experiences of my career.  The 

program  exposed  me  to  a  diverse  group  of  practitioners  and  academics,  both  domestic  and 

international, and I gained a greater understanding of homeland security at the global level. The 

network development of local, state, federal, and private sector officials and the examination of 

relevant topics and perspectives assists me to better plan and execute our mission  in homeland

CHDS helped provide me with a different outlook on the mission of protecting America. No longer 

was it "us" the private sector and "them" law enforcement. At the end of the day, we all have the 

same goals, ideologies, and issues that we deal with. Not only did CHDS allow me to understand 

the current state of affairs in the homeland security arena, but gave me the opportunity to show 

other executives how the private sector prepares itself for the same challenges.

bench  of  homeland  security  professionals with  the  expertise  and  training  needed  to meet  and 

defeat  the  challenges  of  today  and  tomorrow.   By  facilitating  the  sharing  of  information  (both

homeland security and defense professionals, the need to educate a broad spectrum of

undergraduate and graduate‐level students, and its own limited capacity, CHDS launched the

initiativeinearly2006.

UAPIprovidesall curriculumandassociatedmaterials for a completemastersprogram (atno

Self‐StudyCourses

We investigated the CHDS Master’s Degree Program and found the curriculum to be unique and 

specialized  but  also  with  practical  application  to  the  daily  leadership  duties  of  senior  law 

enforcement  personnel.  The  self‐study  program  offers  the  same  quality,  which  all  senior  law 

enforcement  executives  can  benefit  from.    Florida’s  Criminal  Justice  Standards  and  Training 

Commission  agreed with  our  assessment,  and  now  all  Florida  officers  who  take  the  self‐study

RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY

The nature of CHDS programs – blending in‐residence instruction with distance learning –

requires innovative approaches in presenting learning materials to a highly diverse and

sophisticated audience. For this reason, the Center maintains in‐house facilities to develop

educational technologies tailored to the needs of the homeland security professional and

student.These technologiesmakea significant contribution to the successofCHDSandallow

maximumdisseminationof the researchusedandgeneratedbyCHDSstudents,affiliates,and

EducationalTechnologies

I  have had  the unique opportunity  to  experience  concurrent  classes using all  three  educational 

methods  ‐  traditional  resident,  pure  distance  learning,  and  the hybrid model  CHDS uses, which 

combines both.  I can say, unequivocally,  that the hybrid takes the advantages of both methods 

and offers the best in terms of learning achievement and community development, resulting in an 

educational synergy that measurably extends what our students learn.

There is not a day goes by that I do not rely on some experience or contact directly related to my 

participation in the CHDS program. The program continues to build out a massive web of fire, law 

enforcement, emergency management, public health, and military leaders who share in their 

respective mission areas a core responsibility for homeland security and defense. The ability for 

the alumni to continue the research, interaction, and debate long after graduation will ultimately 

serve the public well. I graduated almost three years ago and I feel as much connected to CHDS 

today, 2,500 miles from the classroom, as I did the day I graduated.

EVALUATING EFFECTIVENESS

TomaintaintherelevanceandvalueofCHDSprograms,bothongoingassessmentsandexternal

evaluations are designed and conducted by outside evaluator, Dr. William Pelfrey. These

independent assessments assure there is a significant gain of knowledge by students;

evaluationsanddatacollectionareconstantandincludetheuseofconceptualpretests,course

evaluations, and end‐of‐program assessments. Dr. Pelfrey also conducts a post‐degree

evaluationofstudentstwoormoreyearspastgraduation.

In2007,theCentercommissionedDr.JosephRyantointerviewalumniandconductsitevisitsto

keylocationswheregraduatesareinhomelandsecuritypractice.

This section looks first at theCenter’s ongoing assessment tools thenpresents a summaryof

outsideevaluationsandtheimpactofresearchconductedbyCHDSstudents.

OngoingEvaluationoftheMaster'sDegreeProgram

TheCHDSMaster’sDegreeProgramisvitallyconcernedwithrelevanceandvalueofthecontent

anddeliveryofitscoursesaswellasthegainofknowledgebyitsstudents.Thisconcern,inturn,

mandates an exhaustive evaluation process that is most unusual and probably unique in

academe.

TheWestern Association of Schools and Colleges, one of the sixmajor academic accrediting

bodies, recentlyreviewedandapprovedtheofferingof thiscurriculumintheNationalCapitol

Region.Theyrequestedextensiveinformationontheevaluationprocessesusedtoform,frame,

andrevisethecurriculum.Theirconclusionwasthattheevaluationprocesswasoneofthemost

robusttheyhadseenand,afterdeliberatingforfiveminutes,theyapprovedthecurriculum.

Theevaluationprocessused forCHDScoursesand itsmaster’sprogram is farmoreextensive

than those used in any other academic setting. TheCenter’s students are unique in termsof

their positions, experience, and heterogeneity. The application process has identified highly

qualifiedpeopletoadmittotheprogram.(57percentofCHDSstudentsalreadyholdgraduate

degrees when admitted to the CHDS graduate program, yet are eager to pursue a second

master’sdegreeinanewandinnovativefield.).Tomeettheneedsofthesestudents,extensive

andcustomizedevaluationtoolsareneeded.

Adopting evaluation processes used in business, administration, private sector education, or

teacher education would be far less effective. The approach here has been to develop

evaluationprocesses,formativeandsummative,thatbestfitthisprogram,thiscurriculum,and

the critical needs of this audience, rather than simply assuming evaluation processes would

apply.Theevaluationprocessisdifficult,butevaluationisessentialsomethodsandapproaches

will continue to be developed. The ongoing evaluations conducted by the external evaluator

consist of a conceptual pretest, course evaluations, and the program evaluation. One post‐

degreeevaluation,ofgraduatestwoormoreyearsbeyondcompletionofthedegree,hasbeen

conductedtodate.

34

ConceptualPretest

Theevaluationprocessstartswiththeconceptualpretest,whichassessesstudentexpectations

on fifty‐one elements or “indicators, divided into sixteen 'outcomes,' within five major

categories: knowledge, collegiality, commitment, creativity, and change. The purpose of the

conceptual pretest is to discover enough about CHDS master’s students to gauge their

expectationsandaccomplishmentssothatthefacultycanadjustboththecontentanddelivery

ofcoursestomaximizerelevanceandvalue.Asaresultoftheconceptualpretest,CHDSadjusts

thecontentanddeliveryofallcoursesfromcohorttocohortinordertomaximizetheeffective

gain of knowledge and overall impact of the program. The conceptual pretest is also used in

conjunctionwithanend‐of‐programevaluation tomeasure thegainofknowledgeon thekey

learningobjectives.

CourseEvaluations

Every course offered in the program is subjected to an extensive end‐of‐course evaluation,

measuring content (quality, impact, depth, value, and relevance); structure (breadth, focus,

volume, intensity, and tempo); and quality of instruction provided by CHDS faculty. Students

alsohavetheopportunitytocommentonanyaspectoftheprogram.Overall,theutilityofthe

courseevaluationprocessisevidentinthefollowing:

• Detailedcourseevaluationsareprovidedtothefacultyimmediatelyuponcompletion

ofeverycoursesoappropriatechangescanoccurquickly.

• Threecourses(CivilMilitaryRelations,WeaponsofMassDestruction,Agroterrorism),

initiallythoughttobecriticaltohomelandsecurity,wereassessedasrelativelylowin

relevanceandvalueandhavebeendeletedfromtheprogram.

• The detail of the evaluation process allowed curricular planners to identify the

essential (valuable and relevant) items in those courses and relocate them in other

coursesintheprogram.

• Three courses (Information Technology, Law Enforcement and Judicial Issues, and

Strategic Planning and Budgeting) were assessed as essential elements of the

curriculumbut toonarrow in focus. Thecourseswere redesignedasTechnology for

Homeland Security,Multidiscipline inHomeland Security, and Strategic Planning and

Leadership,makingthemfarmorevaluableandrelevant.

• Leadership and change‐agent capability were recognized as essential, through the

evaluationprocess,andanewcourse (Capstone)wasdeveloped toemphasize those

attributes.

End‐of‐ProgramEvaluation

One of the five concurrent cohorts graduates everyMarch, September, and December after

completing theeighteenmonthcurriculum.Aprogrammatic review is conducted immediately

following graduation. The programmatic review includes a retrospective pretest‐posttest, as

described below, and a survey assessing the value of each course, as well as the value of

instructionalapproaches.Thesedata,coupledwiththerelevanceandvaluedatagatheredatthe

end of each course, allow administrators to assess the degree towhich the courses and the

curriculum are improving the knowledge of the participants and meeting the needs of this

sophisticatedgroupoflearners.

(entering in September 2003),with subsequent improvements from that point.Webelieve the reason for the decline (and

Intheretrospectivepretest‐posttest,thequestionbeingansweredis“Howmuchdidyoulearn

compared towhat you already knew? Lam and Bengo8 describe the advantages of using the

retrospectivepretest‐posttest.Thismethodmediates“responseshiftbias,”whichmeansaftera

course of study the respondents realize they did not know asmuch as they thought; in the

classicpretest‐posttest,theycannotgobackandadjustthepretestscore. Intheretrospective

pretest they adjust theprior‐knowledge scorebasedonwhat theynow realize is appropriate

knowledge. In four of the CHDS cohorts tested, knowledge has more than doubled – an

impressivefeatconsideringtheseniorityandsophisticationofthisaudience.

Theexternalevaluatoralsoconductsretrospectivepretest‐posttestsattheendofeachcourse,

as well as at the end of the program. This allows the faculty to refine courses much more

quickly. In total, and due to the overlap of cohorts, twenty‐eight course evaluations are

AssessingtheWiderImpactofPostgraduateEducation

In2007,CHDScommissionedanevaluationtoassesstheoverallimpactandeffectivenessofthe

Master’sDegreeProgram.(ThiswasinadditiontotheassessmentsconductedbyDr.Pelfreyas

theexternalevaluator.)Anunanticipatedchallengeforthisassessmenteffortwasdiscoveredin

thecurrentstateoftheartregardingimpactevaluationofgraduateeducationprograms.

Much like the entire enterprise of homeland security, assessing the impact of graduate

educationinthepublicsectorrepresentsanendeavoraboutwhichexpectationsareextremely

highwhileactualknowledgeisrelativelylow.Someportionofthisdisconnectisattributableto

government’sfrequentassertionthatwhatoccursintheprivatesectorshouldbereplicatedin

the public sector (although the revelations of mismanagement of resources in the financial

sectorinlate2008mayhavequelledsomeofthatenthusiasm).Electedofficials,managers,and

administrators who continue to insist on establishing public sector return‐on‐investment

measures thatparallelprograms in theprivate sector frequently find that very little is known

abouthowtotranslatethisintoanoccurrence.

In 2006, the United States Secretary of Education,Margaret Spellings, released what is now

known as the  Spellings  Commission  Report.  The report detailed challenges facing higher

education in this country and called formajor assessments therein, and encouraged colleges

anduniversitiestoimproveaccountabilityandmeasurestudentsuccessonavalue‐addedbasis.

Notably, strategies and suggestions on how to do this were missing from the report.

Rudimentary strategies such as alumni contributions, student satisfaction, and percentage

enteringpost‐graduateeducationexistformeasuringtheeffectofhighereducation.However,

few if any strategies exist for assessing the impact of post‐graduate education in the public

sector.

The public sector is inherently different from the private sector. Current articles, books, and

researchreportspointoutthedifferencesinjobsatisfaction,rewarddefinition,andmotivators

intheprivatesectorpositionsversuspublicsectorpositions.Theseinherentdifferencesmakeit

difficult to assess educational impact in public sector organizations using private sector tools

(returnon investment). Indeed,muchof the literatureonmeasuring the impactof education

springs from the disciplines that prepare managers for private sector agencies and

organizations.Putsimply,thereisnodefinitivemeasure–particularlyinthepublicsector–of

the relationship between completion of a master’s degree and quantifiable returns on the

investment of time and money made to attain that degree. In spite of that impediment,

processesarebeingimplementedatCHDStotrack,assess,synthesize,andevaluatetheimpact

TheinterviewsrevealedthemajorityofalumnifelttheirexperiencewithCHDSexceededtheir

expectations; most found the CHDS Master’s Degree Program to be highly challenging. One

respondent replied: “it wasmore difficult than attending law school.”More importantly, the

program increased alumni understanding of interagency operations and clarified individual

definitionsofwhat,exactly,homelandsecurityentails.
