Campuses Altering Courses, Tapping Into Homeland Security Funds

Cathy Lanier had to think like a terrorist and come up with a way to
kill a few thousand people at a picnic in San Luis Rey. The virtual
town in California, repeatedly cursed with smallpox epidemics,
explosions and attacks on its nuclear power plant, is part of her new
education: The commander of special operations for D.C. police is
earning a master's degree in the fast-growing field of homeland
security.
Schools across the country are catering to such students as Lanier by
revamping curricula and research as they try to keep pace with the
changes brought on by the 2001 terrorist attacks and take advantage of
a large pool of homeland security money. At hundreds of schools, Sept.
11 is influencing how many topics are taught -- from medicine to
firefighting to politics to computer networking.
