In order to mitigate terror escalations and prepare for emerging dangers, many professionals in the intelligence and public safety communities are expanding their knowledge and skills through education. American Military University is proud to support their educational goals by providing the Undergraduate Certificate in Terrorism Studies. This unique and industry-relevant certificate is offered entirely online. Students have the flexibility to complete their education while they maintain their existing duties.

The program provides an overview of various terrorist groups, their histories, and their ultimate objectives. In addition, students learn analytical methods, predictive tools, and effective procedures on how best to deter or protect against potential threats.
