This five-year doctoral program equips Ph.D. candidates to conduct thorough, policy-focused research addressing critical global and domestic security challenges. The curriculum integrates social science approaches to international security and defense policy with specialized regional studies, along with technical examinations of proliferation, weapon advancements, terrorist/counterterrorist tactics, and insurgent/counterinsurgent warfare. While primarily campus-based, the program permits approved absences for field research activities.
