Education

Consistent with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) goals for its Centers of Excellence, START is dedicated to training and mentoring a new generation of scholars and analysts capable of examining questions related to the behavior of terrorists and terrorist groups and to the issue of how societies can best prepare for dealing with a terrorist threat or responding to a terrorist attack.

START emphasizes a variety of approaches to education, including: undergraduate and graduate student learning opportunities; professional development training and mentor programs; research funding, assistantships, and internships; and funding opportunities to develop new START-related curriculum materials.
