Master of Public Administration - National and International Security Policy

Syracuse University

The field of security requires government agencies and administrators to be nimble and forward thinking, with well-honed technical skills such as data analysis and GIS social science skills such as policy analysis and knowledge of history and international relations. Leaders and managers need to be able to adapt to evolving borders, leadership, actors, policies and norms at the same time communications, intelligence gathering and defense technologies-i.e., artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, robotics-advance at an ever-accelerating rate. Graduates are prepared to address contemporary security concerns that affect the economy, environment, food, health, technology, law and governance, and communications. They work at the Dept. of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigations, U.S. Department of State, and a variety of international governments and agencies.
