B.A. INDS: Radicalization of Right-Wing Extremists In the United States
Spring 2020 Capstone
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, Spring 2020 graduates were unable to present their capstones.
Post Graduation Plans
In order to learn practical research skills necessary for my work, I plan to pursue either a master’s degree in applied sociology at UMBC or a graduate certificate in Terrorism Analysis at the University of Maryland after I graduate from the INDS program. After my graduate education, I plan
to apply for a job at START or as a professor.
Courses In My INDS Degree
✅ The Context of Right-Wing Extremism: By understanding the social, political, and historical context of right-wing extremism as well as the psychology of hate, I will be able to analyze the meanings of extremist messages rather than just their effectiveness. (AMST 200/HIST 208/PSYC 304/ SOCY 321/ GWST 340/ PSYC 342/HIST 355AMST 376/ PSYC 380)
✅The Influence of Groups on Decision-Making: The media, peers, and extremist groups all contribute to a person’s decision to engage with extremist ideologies. (MCS 222/SOCY 330/MCS 334/PSYC 340/ SOCY 397)
✅Research Methods: Because my work will focus on research, it is essential that I develop practical research skills relevant to my field. (SOCY 300/MLL 301/SOCY 301)
✅Individualized Study: These courses are required for the INDS major and allow me to develop my degree plan and capstone project. (INDS 330/INDS 335/INDS 399/ INDS 480 / INDS 490)
