RFI: Grad School (Haft of the Spear)

RFI: Grad School

Multiple, private side conversations going on WRT education. Focus is on “security studies” programs. Resident programs discussed include:

Georgetown
George Washington
Institute for World Politics
Johns-Hopkins
Missouri State
MIT
Stanford
UPENN

Distance options discussed include:

APUS
Norwich
Kansas State

Three questions:

Who are we missing in both domains, period?
Who are we missing in both domains that have similar content but are not explicitly labeled as security studies programs (e.g. School X whose PoliSci program has a security policy track)?
What non-US distance options are we missing?

Primary criteria: Has to be a school anyone can get into (no NDUs or war colleges)

Note to Universities: Please don’t flood the comments with pitches. Send me your links/material separately and I’ll compile for everyone for ease of use/access.

Michael,

I know the University of Chicago has an IR degree with an international security studies emphasis.

Also, are you sure about K-State?

I may be reading more into it than was intended, but it seems that they’re moving in that direction.

Yeah, you’re right. It does sound like a legit program, although I’d list it as a resident program instead of a distance program. Depending on how serious they are about that “web-based learning” they talked about, they may end up with an online program in the future, though.
