Certificate in Intelligence
The Certificate in Intelligence at JHU is designed for students who are interested in pursuing or advancing careers in intelligence, be it in analysis, human or technical collection, or counterintelligence. It is also useful for professionals in the policy and operational world whose careers involve consuming intelligence.
The certificate can stand on its own as a credential, or students can pair it with the MA in Global Security Studies, MA in Government, MS in Data Analytics and Policy, or MA in Public Management for a combined credential. Students availing themselves of one of these options can count two of their intelligence studies courses toward their master’s degree elective requirements.
