| Description |
: The Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict major is designed to provide both serving special operations personnel and other interested students with detailed study, research, analysis, and insight into the specialized missions and forces that have influenced international events as an arm of national policy in oftentimes high-risk, politically sensitive environments. Students will not only address the flexible and precise special operations missions (to include unconventional warfare, direct action, special reconnaissance, foreign international defense, combating terrorism, psychological operations, civil affairs, counterproliferation of weapons, information operations, among others), but they will also gain understanding of the contextual issues that lead to and result from such missions. The student will study amongst peers in a core curriculum and then branch off in a selected area of personal special operations or low intensity conflict interest that includes National Security, Special Operations, Insurgency/Revolution, Peacekeeping, Terrorism, Information/Intelligence, or one of six different regional area choices. |
