Key facts:

The Security and Terrorism Studies program at the University of Maryland is dedicated to training and mentoring a new generation of scholars and analysts to holistically examine questions related broadly to terrorism and security.

Students are exposed to the theoretical and methodological skills necessary to pursue advanced research and/or be successful in an analytic career. The program consists of twelve courses. Courses are offered in an online learning environment. The program can be completed in as little as four semesters.
