PROGRAM AFFILIATIONS
SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY
Saint Louis University (SLU) and
Philadelphia University have an agreement that allows students in either program
to complete up to 2 courses at the other institution. This allows our students to
experience course work in specialty areas such as communicable diseases, emerging
infections and epidemics. Without duplicating resources students learn from experts
in the field. Paperwork has been streamlined and these courses can be used as electives.

NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL
Philadelphia University has been
accepted as a partner in the University and Agency Partnership Initiative, or UAPI,
of the Naval Postgraduate School and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Center
for Homeland Defense and Security. This university partnership brings together institutions
nationwide dedicated to advancing homeland security education. This effort seeks
to increase the number and diversity of students receiving homeland security education,
accelerate the establishment of high-quality academic programs, and provide opportunities
for collaboration that create an intellectual multiplier effect that furthers the
study of homeland security.
The Naval Postgraduate School Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) will make available through the partnership its curriculum, distance learning technology, Homeland Security Digital Library, and all other resources. In return, the partners will share the curriculum and specialized expertise with the UAPI partners. This provides a cost-effective way to educate thousands of students beyond the NPS campus by reducing the time and resources required of universities and agencies having to build their own curricula and programs from scratch. It also brings synergy to addressing critical research issues, accelerates the development of the homeland security academic discipline, and more rapidly serves knowledge to support the nation's security efforts.
