National Security Studies M.A. degree program at Cal State University, San Bernardino:

The National Security Studies M.A. program at CSUSB is one of just five such programs in the United States, and the only one west of the Rockies. For students interested in international relations, causes of war, arms control, terrorism, and security issues involving Russia, East Asia, or the Middle East, we offer an excellent course of study that is designed to give students the requisite training and expertise to land a job in the U.S. Intelligence Community or with other federal agencies upon graduation. In fact, NSS students get preferential treatment in the federal hiring process because of the program's close relationship with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

The National Security Studies M.A. program at CSUSB houses the CSU Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence (CSU-ACE). CSU-ACE began in the Fall of 2006 with a multi-year, multi-million dollar grant from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence through the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Students from all majors are welcome to attend. International Relations and Area Studies majors, Political Science majors, Computer Science majors, and Geography majors with GIS experience and/or foreign language aptitude are particularly encouraged to attend.
