This program is designed for military and civilian personnel seeking careers in intelligence, foreign policy analysis and foreign service. It is also intended, however, for people who seek a career in government, the private sector and nongovernmental organizations with interests in international affairs.
All courses are taught by regular UA faculty members. However, none of these courses are available on campus and all of them have been designed specifically for the Certificate program and MA degree in International Security Studies. Each course is six to eight weeks long. Students can sign up for three courses at once. Students are not allowed to register for four courses in one semester.
