Georgetown University’s Master's in Applied Intelligence prepares you with the skills needed to excel as an analyst in both the public and private sectors. Through a curriculum grounded in real-world applications, you will develop the critical thinking, analytical, and technical competencies to analyze complex phenomena, identify trends, and deliver actionable intelligence. This program prepares you to provide strategic insights and support decision-making in today’s fast-paced, threat-rich environments.
Unlike other degrees, our program focuses on four key sectors: homeland security, cyber intelligence, law enforcement, and competitive business intelligence. You’ll develop a 360-degree perspective of the intelligence space while examining cutting-edge practices related to risk assessment, intelligence operations, and analytical techniques.
“Earning my master’s has refined how I analyze, communicate, make decisions, and serve others. The lessons I learned did not wait until Commencement to matter. They are already embedded in the way I approach my work, my leadership and my commitments as a federal employee."”
