Taking courses in terrorism and counter-terrorism can prepare you for a variety of career paths, including jobs as a CIA analyst, counterterrorism specialist, border patrol agent, forensic accountant, law enforcement officer, and TSA screener. Gaining a solid foundation in the forces and policies that have led to past attacks, along with techniques for countering them, prepare you for working in a variety of fields. For example, you might find jobs in the federal government with agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Or you might find work at private companies in roles such as security analysts.
