The building of national security has taken on great importance in this day and age. To succeed, professionals must be well educated on ethical and social issues of security, liberty, risk assessment and vulnerability, motivation, multi-agency cooperation, intelligence cycles, victimization and fear, technology, resource management, and media/mass communication informing them through the various processes and resources available while developing best practices, programs and policies in response. To address these issues, Anna Maria College offers a Graduate Certificate in Domestic and International Terrorism.

The certificate may be earned either on track to earning the master’s degree or as a shorter course of study resulting in the certificate.
