Advanced Open-Source Intelligence: Strategies for Informed Decision-Making
IDH 4950-502
Instructor: Jordan Howell

Dr. Howell is back for an exciting new course about technology. In this class, you will develop the  knowledge and skills necessary to gather, analyze, and interpret data from publicly available sources (open-source intelligence). These sources can range from traditional media, such as newspapers and television, to digital platforms, including social media, websites, and public government databases. OSINT is used in all career fields, including security and intelligence, business and market research, investigative journalism, academic research, and healthcare. By the end of this class, you will have the tools to source data, identify and analyze information, utilize digital tools and software, practice advanced research techniques, and present findings to a variety of audiences, preparing you to be a data leader in your career field.

The Honors Thesis is a two-semester program where students will conduct an independent study under the guidance of their own thesis chair selected by each student. The thesis process mirrors a mentorship system common in graduate schools (e.g., dissertation for a Ph.D. program). By closely working with your own chair, you will come up with a research topic, develop research methods, and produce your own creative work such as a research paper, artwork, a business proposal, etc. It is a great opportunity to create your own unique research project, learn from faculty about the research process, and gain research skills. We recommend that students who are interested in the Honors Thesis prepare early.
