Abstract: This response to Robert McCreight argues that the discourse on homeland security curriculum has narrowly viewed education as merely a vocational stepping stone to prepare students for a specific profession. This article argues that we need to focus on the civic mission of higher education. A primary mission of homeland security education should be to develop leaders with a public service ethos and citizens that embody civic virtues.
