ONLINE Graduate Certificate in Terrorism Analysis
National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism & Responses to Terrorism: A Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence

Designed for both future practitioners and scholars, START’s yearlong, fully online program provides students with advanced education on the causes, dynamics and impacts of international and domestic terrorism. The unique online format enables students to work full- or part-time while advancing their education.

Program Description
START's Graduate Certificate in Terrorism Analysis aims to train the next generation of scholars and analysts to examine questions related to the behavior of terrorists and terrorist groups, and how societies can best prepare and respond to terrorist threats and attacks. Students also develop the methodological skills necessary to pursue advanced research on and analysis of terrorism. This four-course, fully online program can be completed in a year.

Eligibility
Eligible applicants must have earned a four-year baccalaureate degree from a regionally-accredited U.S. institution, or an equivalent degree at a foreign university. A 3.0 GPA is preferred, but experience may substitute. GRE scores are not required.

Application Information
The program accepts applications at three points during the calendar year.  This allows upcoming fall, spring, and summer graduates to begin the program soon after they have earned their four-year degree.
