Our graduate studies program seeks motivated graduate students to serve internships in the analytic offices and centers of CIA’s Directorate of Intelligence. Graduate studies interns work on teams with our full-time analysts. Liberal arts majors research, analyze, write, and brief on international political, military, economic, and leadership developments. Engineering and science students, or those in other technical programs, analyze and provide written and oral assessments on challenging national security issues–including foreign weapons development, weapons proliferation, cyber warfare, and emerging technologies–and apply their scientific and technical knowledge to solve complex intelligence problems. In addition to their analytic responsibilities, graduate studies interns become familiar with the Agency and Intelligence Community by participating in a range of meetings and projects. The program allows participants and the Agency to assess opportunities for permanent employment following the participant’s completion of graduate school.
