Intelligence Analysis Track
The Intelligence Fellowship program is comprised of four distinct but equally important pillars:
ACADEMICS
The academic pillar will provide fellows training via six online courses (18 credits). Fellows will pay regular tuition and fees for two online courses during each of the summer, fall, and spring semesters. IA Track participants will enroll in the National Security Studies certificate taught by several former IC practitioners and is scheduled as follows:
Summer
ISS 3130: Fundamentals of National Security
ISS 3214: Fundamentals of Globalization
Fall
ISS 4385: Effective Governmental Communication
ISS 4364: Introduction to Structured Analytic Methods
Spring
ISS 3222: Special Topics in Foreign Policy
ISS 4930: Topics in Globalization: Ethics & Intelligence
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Intelligence Fellows in both tracks participate in professional development workshops aimed at enhancing job seeking-skills. During the fall and spring semesters, Fellows receive support in five critical professional development areas: resume, cover letter and personal statement writing, developing an elevator pitch, and honing scenario-based interview question skills. During the spring semester, Fellows refine skills in public speaking, networking, and branding for success. Furthermore, Fellows meet and brief hiring managers and agency representatives during the Fellowship’s annual spring break trip to Washington, DC.
