There are 5 steps to take when declaring
a Minor in Terrorism Studies.
|
STEP 1 - Inform yourself by reading the Terrorism Studies
Brochure and reviewing the Redbook course descriptions
STEP 2 - Inform your DAC of your intent to declare a Minor
in Terrorism Studies. Your DAC is responsible for guiding
you in both your Major and your Minor.
STEP 3 - Inform the Registrar's Office of your intent to
declare a Minor in Terrorism Studies. They will enter this into
your 8TAP and will inform the CTC.
STEP 4 - Choose your courses, and have your DAC enter them
into the system.
STEP 5 - If you have any questions about courses, consult
with your DAC. If your DAC has questions about courses, he/she
should contact Dr. James Forest in the Combating Terrorism Center
for clarification.
The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point
is an internationally recognized center for terrorism studies,
in which we work to understand better the foreign and domestic
terrorist threats to security, to educate future leaders who will
have responsibilities to counter terrorism, and to provide policy
analysis and assistance to leaders dealing with the current and
future terrorist threat.
The Center develops strategically integrated and balanced perspectives
on national and international security issues. It combines academic,
public policy, and military expertise to create a dynamic, intellectual,
and practical research approach to terrorism, counterterrorism,
weapons of mass destruction, and homeland security issues. Each
area of research is critical for understanding the national security
environment and provides the underpinnings necessary for critical
policy analysis.
The Center seeks to apply theoretical study and
policy analysis in a manner that is useful to our nation’s
leaders. Its staff understands the paramount importance of policy-relevant
research and education in light of the new security environment.
In this way, the Center facilitates educational opportunities
and provides policy analysis to enable greater understanding of
the threats our nation faces in these troubled times.
