In SOC 3000/7000: Global Terrorism, Learn about the conditions that lead to terrorism, the factors that shape the behavior of terrorists, & the issues that influence the response to terrorist attacks from a global perspective.

These courses fill a requirement for the Sociology/Criminology Concentration, serves as an elective for general sociology majors & minors, history, political science, and forensics concentrations and minors, and can serve as a social science elective for many other degree plans. At the graduate level (SOC 7000), the courses entail a greater emphasis on individual study.
