The MORS Certificate in U.S. National Security Risk Analysis is a four-day course designed for all levels of analysts seeking to understand the basic concept of risk as it relates to national security. Probability, uncertainty, consequences, fear, and human control all come into play when it comes to risk. The course will start by exploring typically fuzzy problems and move them towards quantitative risk evaluation. Throughout the course, participants will survey several quantitative risk methodologies, including fault trees, value-based decisions, the Lagrange-multiplier method, and modern data visualization.
Students will learn quantitative risk evaluation, build probability models, compute the value of information, and survey best practices for communicating risk.

MORS has partnered with Virginia Tech to offer this certificate. Participants will receive a number Continuing Education Units (CEUs) upon completion, in accordance with the number of contact hours determined by Virginia Tech.
