Hey peeps, does anyone know of any colleges that provide a military intelligence major? It's my dream to work in this field and a degree in this field might just be what ups my game. Thanks!
Sure, there are several universities where you can major in Military Intelligence or a related field. Here are a few to consider:
1. American Military University (AMU): AMU’s Bachelor of Arts in Intelligence Studies is designed to enhance your ability to research, analyze, and convert data into clear and coherent intelligence.
2. Mercyhurst University: Has a well-regarded intelligence studies department where you study topics like national security, counterintelligence, and competitive intelligence.
3. Norwich University: Offers a Bachelor of Science in Studies in War and Peace that focuses on international relations, history, and military history, along with other aspects of security.
4. Georgetown University: Offers a Bachelor's in Foreign Service with a major in Security Studies, which covers many aspects of intelligence, security, and military operations.
You might also want to look at schools with strong programs in fields related to military intelligence like international relations or national security. I would also encourage you to learn a second language; this can significantly improve your job prospects in intelligence.
Remember, military intelligence personnel can come from a variety of academic backgrounds. While certain majors may provide more directly relevant knowledge, what's most important is developing a broad skill set that includes critical thinking, data analysis, language proficiency, and an understanding of political science and international affairs.
Before you make a decision, always do your research on the program and consider reaching out to faculty or current students to get a better idea of what the major entails and the opportunities it could provide post-college. Don’t forget to look for internship opportunities with relevant agencies or organizations, as practical experience can be particularly beneficial in this field. Good luck!
