Open source intelligence (OSINT) is legally obtained public or commercial information that has been validated, analyzed, and disseminated to meet an intelligence requirement. This practical course is designed to teach two main OSINT skills -collection and analysis. Students will learn how to collect verified information systematically and ethically on individuals, organizations, and events in support of homeland security missions. They will also learn how to fulfill OSINT requests and convey their analyses in writing and orally in a bottom-line upfront (BLUF) format. The course will prepare students for entry-level work as an intelligence analyst in corporate, homeland security, law enforcement, and national security sectors. This course is also designed to prepare students with the specialized skills to participate in research activities in the Open Source Intelligence Lab. Prerequisites: Ehc 556 or permission of the instructor. Students who receive credit for Emh 462 cannot receive credit for this course.
