Program Description
Although intelligence is often understood to be a government function applied to military and foreign affairs, it actually has a much broader application as the capability to forecast change in time to do something about it. Intelligence education is a dynamic, interdisciplinary field that seeks to familiarize students with the theory and the practice of intelligence. The Intelligence and Crime Analysis is to prepare students pursuing careers in intelligence and law enforcement with the knowledge needed to collect, analyze and act upon information in a variety of contemporary threat environments.
