INTSTDS 3700 - Introduction to Intelligence 

MAY – 4 week session one

Among the important consequences of the tragedies of 9/11 have been a renewed emphasis upon the importance of intelligence gathering and analysis for the protection of modern societies and a critical concern for the problems and dangers inherent in such a complex and uncertain enterprise.  This class will provide the student with a comprehensive introduction to the intelligence arts and intelligence cycle.  After a brief historical introduction to the U.S. intelligence system, the nuts and bolts of intelligence collection, analysis, covert action and counterintelligence will be explored.

Prerequisites:  None.
