Lamar Institute of Technology was the first college approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to offer an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Homeland Security. The curriculum was revised in 2018 to an Associate of Applied Science in Emergency Management and Homeland Security  to better address the response needed for both man-made and natural emergency events. LIT also offers a Certificate in Emergency Management and Homeland Security .

The 60 SCH Associate of Applied Science and the 25 SCH Certificate in Emergency Management and Homeland Security provide standardized education and training with real-world solutions to Homeland Security, Emergency Management, and National Defense. The curriculum combines disciplines in communications, emergency management, fire technology, and law enforcement.

All courses in the recommended program of study require a grade of 'C' or better.
