Students gain practical experience through experiential learning, real-world simulations, and direct engagement with intelligence professionals and relevant government agencies.
The NSLC on Intelligence & National Security program offers high school students an immersive pre-college experience at Georgetown University. Participants step into the role of an intelligence analyst, engaging in hands-on simulations and collaborative discussions to assess global threats, manage crises, and develop strategies to safeguard national interests, including cybersecurity. The curriculum focuses on how data, technology, and diplomacy intersect to anticipate risks and protect critical systems. Students will evaluate risk, analyze information, and respond to real-time developments as they navigate challenges in espionage, counterterrorism, and cybersecurity. The program also includes a leadership curriculum covering personality styles, communication, listening, resilience, and empathy. Students gain real-world perspectives through guest speakers who are professionals in the field and go behind the scenes with immersive trips and tours to places like the Defense Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Diplomatic Security Services.
A typical day includes morning intelligence analysis and briefing sessions, afternoon national security simulations and visits in Washington D.C., and evening leadership workshops and supervised dormitory activities.
This program is ideal for high school students aged 14-18 who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership ability, and are interested in exploring careers in national security, intelligence, and related fields.
