Internships give students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the various fields of security. Student interns make valuable networking contacts that assist them in their formal education and their chosen careers.
Internships are competitive and selective. Please contact Dr. Karl Kaltenthaler, Director of the Morell Center for Intelligence and Security Studies with any questions or inquiries.
