Overview

The Strategic and Security Studies program at the University of North Georgia introduces various aspects of security and you will have the opportunity to specialize in one of the following seven areas of concentration for the degree: Cyber-Security; Geo-spatial Intelligence; History; Intelligence; International Affairs; Language; Military Science.

Since most of your upper-level coursework will be focused within your selected area, you will be well-positioned to become an “expert” in that particular aspect of strategic security.

Along the way you will have the opportunity to expand your knowledge base and professional credentials, as well as earn credit hours toward your degree, through the completion of an Strategic & Security Studies Internship or an Education Abroad Program at a non-US university.

Outcomes

You will have the opportunity to develop a foundation for strategic thinking and problem-solving competencies that are absolutely indispensable to solving highly complex security and strategic issues, and will position you to help navigate America’s future strategic challenges whether as a military officer or a civilian leader in government or business.

Gain a deep understanding of both American and international issues and processes related to national security through the classroom and real-world experience.
