Message from the Faculty Director

The Master of Professional Studies in Applied Intelligence offers a unique blend of conceptual and practical knowledge that is essential to analysts to understand the complexity of 21st century security risks. The program prepares students to pursue a successful career in applied intelligence by offering a robust foundation in analytical, critical, and logical thinking that allows them to more accurately and effectively scrutinize data in four key sectors: (1) homeland security, (2) cyber intelligence, (3) law enforcement, and (4) competitive business intelligence. The MPS in Applied Intelligence curriculum has been developed in consultation with leading intelligence organizations and is taught by subject matter experts working in the field—ensuring the integration of the most current best practices.

With warm regards,
