Holloway plans to be among the first to enroll in the college’s new degree program in homeland security. The program is modeled after one at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va., and is among a growing number of homeland security majors available across the country as schools try to meet a rising demand for workers trained in a variety of national defense areas.
