I was drawn to the Global Security & Intelligence Studies program because of its focus on career preparedness. I knew I wanted a degree that would prepare me for a profession in the security and intelligence field, and this program allowed me to specialize in subjects I was genuinely interested in rather than pursuing a traditional political science degree."
