    <div class="html-content"><p><strong>Are you looking to study terrorism? Are you hoping to work in the intelligence community? Are you considering graduate school?</strong></p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Program Description</strong><br>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 <a href="http://www.start.umd.edu/education/graduate-certificate-online" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.start.umd.edu/education/graduate-certificate-online</a>.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Eligibility</strong><br>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.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Application Information</strong></p><p>The program accepts applications at two points during the calendar year. Applications for fall admission are due July 26, 2017. This allows upcoming fall, spring, and summer graduates to begin the program soon after they have earned their four-year degree. More information regarding the application deadlines and term timelines can be found on our <a href="http://www.start.umd.edu/education/graduate-certificate-online" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">website.</a></p><p><span> </span></p><p><strong>Interested?</strong></p><p><span>An online information session</span> will be held tomorrow, <strong>Wednesday, April 5th at 6:00pm EST (GMT-4). </strong>If students are not available to attend, a virtual information session is held every month and information about the program can be requested. To join the discussion, RSVP to Joyce Rasing at <a href="mailto:jrasing@umd.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">jrasing@umd.edu</a><span>. </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><strong>More Information?</strong></p><p>Request a virtual information packet by emailing <a href="mailto:education@start.umd.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">education@start.umd.edu</a><span> </span>and be sure to check out other opportunities at START, like our <a href="http://www.start.umd.edu/careers/internships" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">internship program</a> and <a href="http://www.start.umd.edu/education/summerwinter-courses" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">summer/winter courses</a> on our website.</p></div>

As a member of the America East conference, we partner with the You Can Play Project and LGBT SportSafe Inclusion Program to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ athletes in the locker room and on the playing field.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>We also recognize that despite our commitment to fostering a welcoming <span>gender</span>-inclusive community at UMBC, LGBTQ+ people across the country will feel the impact of yesterday’s decision as it affects their access to facilities and feelings of safety and belonging.
