Program Mission Statement
The Global Security and Intelligence Studies Bachelor of Science degree program is designed for students whose goal is to serve as a security or intelligence professional in the national civilian intelligence community, the diplomatic service, military intelligence, diplomatic security, law enforcement and investigations, corporate security, global corporate strategy and risk analysis, nongovernmental organizations, multilateral organizations, and international financial institutions. The academic courses are designed, within an integrated liberal arts and technical training framework, to introduce the student to history and politics in the global sense of the words, including world and U.S. history and the role of security and intelligence issues within international affairs. Skills-based courses seek to impart the practical knowledge necessary for professional success in these areas, particularly in the sector of investigations, risk analysis, international relations, and security operations.
Specific competencies include the ability to identify and critically evaluate complex written texts across the many disciplines included in the fields of security and intelligence studies, an ability to imagine and analyze scenarios and present effective and convincing arguments in both oral and written form, a comfort in the language and practice of international geography and affairs, an appreciation and understanding of the world’s many cultures, intermediate knowledge of at least one foreign language, and an understanding of the ethical issues within the fields of security and intelligence studies.
The GSIS program prepares students for both direct entry into the professional fields and further education and training in graduate and professional schools. There are several major stakeholders in the overall success of the GSIS Program. First and foremost, the students who graduate will gain the knowledge and skill sets necessary for them to successfully compete to obtain entry-level or higher management jobs in security or intelligence. Secondly, the parents who have supported the students both financially and morally will know that their money and moral support were well invested in providing their children with both a sound college education and many professional employment opportunities. Third, security and intelligence organizations at the federal, state, and local level, private sector businesses and multinational corporations, security and intelligence firms, nongovernmental organizations, and multilateral political and economic institutions will have a source of well-educated, professionally knowledgeable applicants who are seeking careers in their organizations. Finally, the university administrators and faculty supporting the program will continue their scholarly and professional development in the fields of security and intelligence studies, particularly through curriculum development, pedagogical innovation, and active agendas for publication and presentation of original work. In so doing, they will thus impart to their students newly-created knowledge, both their own work and that of their professional colleagues, and they will be better prepared and credentialed for mentoring original student research in the fields of security and intelligence studies.
