GSST 4320 Practicum in Global Security
In this course, students integrate the broad and specialty knowledge covered in the interdisciplinary courses and the preceding core courses. The course covers various areas, such as threats and defenses to the theft of information, humanitarian crisis, transnational terrorism, health insecurity, natural threats, criminal threats, identity threats, chemical and unconventional weapons, and policies and strategies to keep
information safe. Students work in teams to prepare an applied case problem involving a current security issue in a commercial, industrial, academic, or government setting to help solve the issue. The course encourages self-reflection through analysis of simulation activities and culminates with each group presenting outcomes from a case to peers and faculty. This course facilitates students building critical thinking, teamwork, and negotiation skills.
