“Diplomacy & Defense in a Global Age”


Get an inside look at the nation’s agencies and organizations that ensure our national security.

Meet intelligence officers, diplomats, military leaders and policy makers and learn about the complex issues facing our world today. Get a first-hand look at the ways in which governments gather and use intelligence to create national security protocols, form diplomatic strategies and consider military alternatives. Discuss and debate the sensitivities of foreign relations among countries with competing interests.

You’ll explore the roles of domestic and international organizations in intelligence gathering, diplomacy and both national and global security.  You’ll learn how agencies such as the National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, Department of Homeland Security, FBI, CIA and Secret Service operate.  You will also explore the role of the United Nations and its member countries in maintaining world peace.  You’ll see why inter-agency and international cooperation and coordination are so important, but so hard to achieve.

Intelligence, Defense and Foreign Affairs Workshops and Simulations
In our workshops and simulations, you’ll gain exposure to the roles and influence of US Institutions such as the CIA, NSA, DIA, NSC, State Department and the Department of Defense in the construction and maintenance of national security and foreign affairs. In examining their roles, you’ll evaluate and practice decision making as leaders in the fields of national security, defense and diplomacy.
