This fall, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) will offer to companies and government agencies a practical, hands-on and sophisticated six-course (18-credit) certificate program designed to combat digital and physical terrorism. Classes may be available at the workplace or through distance learning.

"Companies or agencies may customize the program any way they want. Our goal is to create a new generation of counter-terrorism experts and we think the array of in-depth courses we've put together will fit the bill," said Robert Statica, PhD, program director (robert.statica@njit.edu). Cutting-edge knowledge about traditional (or physical) counter-terrorism strategies, cyber-security and cyber-investigations as well as digital forensics, computer crime and more will be offered.

Thanks to a streamlined application and admission process, the educational experience may begin immediately. Contact Statica at 973-596-5486 for details.
