As an older post graduate student who spent a lifetime in the Law Enforcement realm, GCTI’s MISS program was the academic highlight that bridged the gap between my operational experience and academia. The international nature of the degree and students, morphed the lens by which I viewed the world, giving me a much more holistic approach to problem solving international security dilemmas. I would highly recommend this program to anyone wishing to develop critical analysis, and problem solving capabilities in the context of International Security.
