Defense Intelligence Scholars Program
The Defense Intelligence Agency is a Department of Defense combat support
agency and important member of the United States Intelligence Community. With
over 15,000 military and civilian employees worldwide, DIA is a major producer
and manager of foreign military intelligence. We provide military intelligence
to warfighters, defense policymakers and force planners, in the Department of
Defense and the Intelligence Community, in support of U.S. military planning
and operations and weapon systems acquisition.
The Defense Intelligence Scholars Program at the National Intelligence
University (NIU) affords a select number of college graduates the opportunity
to obtain a quality education that will get their careers off to a successful
beginning. NIU students benefit from studying graduate level intelligence
issues within a classified environment, placing Scholars at a unique advantage
when preparing for careers within the intelligence communities.
Defense Intelligence Scholars begin their DIA employment with a formal agency
orientation program, no later than mid-August prior to fall enrollment in the
National Intelligence University (NIU). Applicants selected for the Defense
Intelligence Scholars Program may enroll in the Master of Science of Strategic
Intelligence (MSSI) or the Master of Science in Science and Technology
Intelligence (MSTI) degree program. Scholars are expected to complete all
course work and the required thesis, no later than July 2013.
The MSSI degree program includes six core courses, six elective courses and the
thesis. The core curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for the complexity
of intelligence work and national security in the 21st century. This innovative
curriculum is focused on three main themes: globalization, future-focused
intelligence and intelligence for national security. Elective courses provide
students the opportunity to explore four strategic areas in more detail:
Military Strategy; Intelligence Community Issues and Management; Transnational
Threats and the Geostrategic Environment: Closing Intelligence Gaps. The thesis
is a written presentation of original research on an intelligence related topic
and contributes to the overall knowledge of the intelligence community.
The MSTI degree program includes seven core course, five elective courses and
the thesis. The curriculum was developed to prepare students to recognize the
impact of technological change, as it relates to national security and
intelligence, and assist decision-makers in prioritizing science and technology
intelligence requirements. MSTI students study one of four core concentrations
established to focus their education to their area of thesis research. The four
concentrations are Weapons of Mass Destruction; Information Operations and
Cyber; Emerging and Disruptive Technologies; and Geostrategic Resources and the
Environment (Energy, Resources and Power).
