HSM-103: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Terrorism and Homeland Security

Course Description

Terrorism and defending against it are not modern concepts. In fact, terrorism has its roots back in ancient times as well as since before the Revolutionary War here in the Western Hemisphere. This course is about understanding terrorism, counter-terrorism, violence, and how they have impacted America. Students will learn about historical examples of terrorism beginning with ancient times and extending through the post 9/11 period. Course content will include coverage of various terrorist events at home and abroad, America’s governmental response, its impact to public and private sectors and individuals. Students will also learn about how past and current experiences with terrorism are defining future strategies. Three class hours.
