Al-Qaida & Intelligence Analysis

Fall & Spring | 3 credits | Elective
Majors: Criminology/Criminal Justice, Ethics, Legal Studies, Philosophy, and Political Science

Through a hands-on approach, students will learn how intelligence analysis works. Questions surrounding the terrorist organization, al-Qaida, such as 'what kind of organization is it?' and 'where did it develop from?' will be discussed. If you are interested in intelligence analysis, this class is for you.

”Al-Qaida keeps producing texts, videos and audio-speeches that are distributed on internet forums. The ambition in this course is to let the students get closer to these sources and teach them how to analyse a modern terrorist organization”, says instructor Søren Hove.
