Foreign Study at the Institute for Counterterrorism (ICT),

             the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya, Israel

In the fall of 2005, the Lauder School of Government and Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya, Israel entered an agreement with the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and INSCT at Syracuse University to promote collaborative activities in counter-terrorism and conflict resolution through joint faculty research projects and the development of educational programs, including faculty and student exchange programs.  Now in its third year, a graduate student exchange will be held in the summer of 2008, with generous support from a Syracuse University alumni who has provided a stipend to support the travel and lodging expenses for eight students.

The program is open to graduate students pursuing a range of graduate degrees (including in international relations, public administration, law, political science, and history among others), the exchange program can accommodate student’s individual interests.  Students will participate in ICT's Counter-Terrorism Studies Program - a three week executive education certificate program composed of six courses that combine academic study, simulations, workshops, and on-site briefings. 

Information about the Institute for Counterterrorism (ICT) and its Counter-Terrorism Studies Program is available at http://www.ict.org.il  

Students may opt to conduct independent research on a   topic related to security or counter-terrorism under the supervision of a SU faculty member and an ICT faculty member or researcher and/or serve as an intern for ICT faculty members or researchers. Academic credit (either independent research credit or experience/internship credit) may be earned for the above work depending on the requirements of the student’s degree program.
