PhD in Intelligence, Defense, & Cybersecurity Policy

The PhD in Intelligence, Defense, and Cybersecurity prepares students for leadership roles in government, the military, or the private sector.

Our synchronous online curriculum offers extensive core work (with required credit hours in research methods, intelligence studies, cybersecurity policy, and security studies), that will equip students with a strong, broad-based understanding of security studies, especially as it pertains to the national security of the United States and its position in the international arena. Each course will expose students to US policy documents, military doctrine, and academic literature pertinent to the course of study.

Our PhD program in Intelligence, Defense, and Cybersecurity Policy offers a robust core curriculum, including essential courses in research methods, intelligence studies, cybersecurity policy, and security studies. You鈥檒l gain hands-on experience by analyzing U.S. policy documents, military doctrine, and cutting-edge research, equipping you with the skills and knowledge to excel in high-level security roles.

Did you know Pamplin鈥檚 national defense programs are now recognized by two prestigious organizations? 麻豆果冻传媒鈥檚 MAISS and PhD programs are now affiliated with the prestigious Sword and Shield Honor Society and the International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE). These distinctions recognize our commitment to excellence in homeland security and intelligence education. These partnerships give students access to national networks, recognition, and leadership opportunities, reinforcing 麻豆果冻传媒鈥檚 role as a leader in national defense education.
