Are you looking to study terrorism? Are you hoping to work
in the intelligence community? Are you considering graduate school?
Designed for both future practitioners and scholars, START’s
flexible and 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. No prerequisite knowledge is required, yet our
coursework is appropriate for both new and experienced learners.
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, twelve-credit, fully online program can be completed in as little as nine-months – or a more expanded two years. To learn more about the program and courses, visit http://www.start.umd.edu/education/graduate-certificate-online.
