Build your own degree

Thanks for the responses everyone, looks like this is something that's not possible Oh well. Like I said I was more interested in getting some of the knowledge and figured I might as well get a piece of paper that says I did on the way. I'm already in the industry and while I'm not doing bad for myself, I do know that I have some deficiencies in my knowledge of certain areas. I would like to get in to higher end security consulting. I'm not particuarly interested in Homeland security type careers that degree is just because it's the quickest for me to get in my field of study (Emergency Management, Security, Criminal Justice etc). I have both military and law enforcement experience and soon a Homeland Security degree, so it's not really going to specifically be a career booster.

I'm looking for classes that cover the following topics if anyone has any ideas Security Planning and Assessments Vulnerability, Law related to the security industry, as in what are liabilities, what can security officers do legally (this changes based on the state), and repercussions if there is a failure as well as classes on specific types of security such as loss prevention, school, attraction and museum etc. Also possibly specific crime and how to respond as security and not law enforcement, such as white collar etc.

Security is very state-specific. The best way to learn the laws is to study for your state's security consultant, private investigation, and/or security management exam. They should have something official or at least recommended study material. The recommended study material and official courses for the certifications I linked to above should help too. Really, most of the laws for what security officers can or cannot do should be covered in the required training for licensure, but this doesn't always happen in states that are lax on regulating training providers.
