PAGES: Program Goals, Modules & Curriculum | Testimonials | Application Process Testimonials of Past Participants "The Executive Program at USC provides a wide-ranging look at problems and solutions in the world of terrorism and counter terrorism, useful for those in the business world, in government service and in academia. I highly recommend it."
Peter Bergen, CNN Terrorism Analyst,
author of "The Osama bin Laden I Know" and New York Times Bestseller "Holy War, Inc." "The CREATE Executive Program in Counter-Terrorism is the first of its kind which takes a global approach to solving the counterterrorism puzzle by providing the right blend of academic theory supported by 'real world' applications. I was thoroughly impressed with the caliber of the academic staff, international presenters, as well as all of the students, who were not only 'seasoned' counter-terrorism practitioners and academicians, but were willing to share their real life experiences, lessons learned, and emerging best practices. I would highly recommend this program for anyone involved in Homeland Security at the executive or administrator level."
Brian Keith, Deputy Director,
Critical Infrastructure Protection Directorate Governor's Office of Homeland Security State of California "The CREATE Program provided me with talks from keynote expert speakers, with well structured, well informed visits to key sites in California, and with a positive learning environment amongst international peers. In addition to personal learning, of which there is much, I have made true friends with colleagues from several countries."
Simon Lewis, Chief Superintendent,
New Scotland Yard, London, UK "After 17 years in Law Enforcement Special Operations, including running Hostage Negotiators conferences for over 600 officers, this was the highest quality gathering of true subject matter experts I have ever been exposed to, both students and instructors."
Lt. Brian Banning,
Sacramento County Sheriff's Special Operations Division Regional Terrorism Threat Assessment Center "A program that will soon be required for Homeland Security Executives in all sectors."
Keith Meins, Senior Manager,
General Dynamics "Collaboration – between agencies, governments, and individuals – is critical in implementing effective measures to counter the growing threat of terrorism. Participants in the Executive Program in Counter-Terrorism through the CREATE Homeland Security Center at the University of Southern California not only get the opportunity to engage in such crucial networking and collaboration; they also gain the knowledge and skills to effectively prevent, identify, and respond to the many threats associated with terrorism. As an Israeli presenter in the program, I had the opportunity to share insights from a country that has years of experience dealing with terrorism. I was impressed with the knowledge and perspectives of the participants in the program, and from the new ideas and solutions that emerge from the information sharing and collaboration that characterizes CREATE's Executive Program in Counter-Terrorism."
