Academic Preparation College of Strategic Intelligence Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence You are about to embark on an exciting journey as members of the College of Strategic Intelligence's Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence (MSSI) at our main campus in Bethesda, MD. We have a student-centric educational model at NIU and you play a critical role in defining your educational path through the MSSI program. In this role, we ask full-time students to select a concentration that you are interested in that is aligned to specific mission needs of the intelligence community. The courses in your concentration will provide you a foundation to understand evolving issues in this mission area and support your thesis research effort.
Full-time students only are required to submit a concentration selection form. Please review the enclosed material. It will guide you through the different educational pathways within the MSSI degree. Your selection of a concentration will allow us to group students and faculty seeking similar educational and research opportunities. In order for you to get the best educational experience, it is very important that you spend some time and thought on this decision and submit a timely response.
Part-time students in the evening and weekend programs may petition the program director to pursue a concentration based on class offerings and space availability. Additionally, the applicable department chair must approve your thesis topic to ensure it is related to the concentration you are seeking.
All students can find additional information in our catalog at NI-U.edu. If you wish to discuss this further, please contact the Associate Dean. Dr. James Marchio at (301) 243-2181.

Anthony G. Oettinger School of Science and Technology Intelligence Master of Science and Technology Intelligence I would like to congratulate you on your nomination to the National Intelligence University (NIU). As the Dean of the Anthony G. Oettinger School of Science and Technology Intelligence (S&TI), I strongly encourage you to consider NIU’s Master of Science and Technology Intelligence (MSTI) degree program. If selected to attend, you may change degree programs as late as the start of the spring term in residence at NIU. The MSTI degree program is unique, in that you do not need a science and technology (S&T) background. In fact, those with liberal arts backgrounds have excelled in the MSTI degree program. Students with S&T backgrounds are of course highly encouraged to pursue the MSTI degree program. I welcome all students, in either degree program, to consider MSTI course electives to broaden their intelligence perspective and to get to know our outstanding faculty. Any NIU faculty member, despite your degree program, can serve as your Chair or Reader. The MSTI degree program gives you the flexibility of choosing two approaches to complete your degree and does not lock you in at the start of the academic year. The first approach (non-concentration) allows students to select S&TI electives that meet their unique needs, interests, and desires but may not necessarily concentrate on any one particular field. This is ideal for that student who wants a breadth of understanding. The second approach allows students to focus S&TI electives courses in one of five concentrations: Weapons of Mass Destruction, Cyber Intelligence, Data Science Intelligence, Emerging Technologies and Geostrategic Resources, or Information and Influence Intelligence. This is ideal for the student who wants a depth of understanding. The completion of four S&TI electives within a defined concentration will be identified on your degree transcript and is an ideal way to “re-brand” yourself to venture in a different career direction. Students often switch between degrees and concentrations as the year progresses and our faculty will work with you to make that happen. Because some electives are co-listed, it is possible to gain dual concentrations. Again, congratulations on your selection to NIU! We at the Oettinger School of Science & Technology Intelligence hope you consider the MSTI degree program and our electives. For questions or concerns, please contact the Associate Dean, Dr. Mitchell Simmons, at (301) 243-2221 or [email protected]. Brian T. Holmes, Ph.D. Dean, Oettinger School of S&T Intelligence National Intelligence University
