Program Description

The Applied Science for National Security and Intelligence certificate integrates STEM disciplines with the special needs of the intelligence community. Graduates will gain deep insights into how the intelligence community operates, apply the scientific method of critical thinking and problem solving to address national security questions, aid in intelligence gathering and communicate scientific findings to make informed decisions. This program is tailored to preparing students for roles in defense sectors and other intelligence related fields.

For students not already at SU, the graduate school application with undergraduate transcript and one recommendation letter will be required, through which the applicant must show either that he or she holds a position for which the certificate is relevant or is aiming to obtain such a position and has a good undergraduate background.
