National Security Studies Academics and the Deterrence Lab Ecosystem

Although the Deterrence Lab does not have its own degree program, we do collaborate with interdisciplinary national security studies programs within the University of Nebraska system. These programs provide knowledge of global security and the theory and analytical skills necessary for working with global security studies issues. Students interested in national security issues, security-related job opportunities, or a desire to have a set of analytical skills relevant to global issues will benefit from these programs and working at our lab.

Collaborative Programs:

  • UNO Interdisciplinary Security Studies Concentration
  • UNO Intelligence and National Security Certificate
  • UNO Cybersecurity Studies Program
  • UNL National Security Studies Program
  • UNL Space, Cyber, and National Security Law Program

UNO Interdisciplinary Security Studies Concentration

ISS Banner

Students will be prepared for a dynamic, quickly changing field — national security. Students will gain the tools they need to become collaborative, adaptable professionals. The best members of the national security field aren’t just knowledge experts, they are also experts at working with a broad range of colleagues.


UNO Intelligence and National Security Certificate

The intelligence and national security certificate is designed to meet the need for an in-depth and critical analysis of US foreign policy and national security by graduate students, active duty military, and civilian professionals working in the fields of public service, national security, defense policy, and intelligence analysis. The program of study seeks to satisfy varying academic, career, and personal post-graduate goals of traditional and non-traditional students that prepare them for their responsibility as active citizens through leadership, participation and employment in intelligence, military, and foreign relations careers. This certificate can be earned completely online.


UNO Cybersecurity Studies Program

UNLCyberProgram

Cybersecurity is a critical field that stands at the forefront of protecting our increasingly digital society. The Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity program equips students with the essential skills to design, develop, manage, and secure information systems. The modern world is made up of vast data exchanges and internet-connected systems with many kinds of private and confidential information on them. Our students learn to think like an adversary to ethically hack systems to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.


UNL National Security Studies Program

The Space, Cyber, and National Security Law Program bridges law, technology and global security — and has done so for over a decade. Students develop the skills they will need to solve problems now and into the future by exploring the laws and regulations that impact every satellite, phone call and online interaction. Our graduates, faculty and alumni are leading the wave of international change from America’s heartland.
