Program Description

The Intelligence and National Security graduate certificate explores the origins, theory, and foundations in the areas covered under the concept of national intelligence, national security, and critical infrastructure protection. Modern practitioners and students of national security issues have to deal with interrelated complex systems, often organized or self-organized in vast networks. No issue in this environment is addressed and solved by a single individual, or even a single organization, but real-life problems are attended by groups of professionals with diverse backgrounds and professional training. This certificate will cover the important concepts and modes of analysis that are frequently addressed in national security and intelligence and critical infrastructure protection.
