Inside the Intelligence Community

3 units

This class will provide an in-depth look at the United States Intelligence Community (IC) - the different agencies of which the IC is composed, and their varying missions, priorities and resources - and how intelligence informs national security decision-making. Students will analyze long-term national security issues on which the government would like to focus, and the short-term crisis issues on which the government must focus. We will write strategic analytical products and simulate inter-agency coordination and testimony before Congress.
