HeatherC Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I am in my senior year of undergrad studies with a major in Politial Science and minor in Criminal Justice. I would like to work for the government in the Intelligence field or some type of Homeland Security. I have found 5 grad schools that will give me a masters in intelligence/security none of which I am crazy about their locations. However, I can get a Ph.D. in Political Science and stay in Colorado and/or take courses just about anywhere. So which would be better or which would you suggest? I don't necessarily want to teach but I have heard that you don't really get into research unless you are going for a doctorate. To out things into perspective I am living in WV, moving to CO in June 2013. After I graduate if I chose the masters I will have to move back across the country or the PhD I could stay in CO which is very appealing. Please give me some insight I am really conflicted. Money is also an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingspeech Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I would develop expertise in a particular region of the world/foreign language, or in an area of computer science. Go to http://www.intelligence.gov/ and review the job descriptions at the various agencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
