Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Intelligence Analysis minor focuses on studying and evaluating information gathered from a broad range of sources, from satellite surveillance to human contacts, to produce timely and objective assessments, free of political bias. The minor will complement the student’s primary major in developing skills necessary to perform intelligence analysis in the public sector (intelligence organizations at the federal and state levels), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), as well as the private sector (intelligence companies and think tanks).
