Programs

Master's Degree Program
The Institute currently offers three Master's degrees: M.A. in Statecraft and World Politics, M.A. in Statecraft and National Security Affairs, and M.A. in Strategic Intelligence Studies. All are professional degrees designed for students who are pursuing a career in the international affairs, intelligence, or national security fields.

Certificate of Graduate Study
The certificate program is designed for students who wish to pursue graduate studies but do not need a degree, and for those students who already have an advanced degree yet need additional graduate credentials. The Institute awards Certificates of Graduate Study in eight areas of specialization: Comparative Political Culture, Counterintelligence, Intelligence, International Politics, National Security Affairs, American Foreign Policy, Democracy Building, and Public Diplomacy and Political Warfare.

Continuing Education and Auditors
The Institute welcomes applicants who demonstrate a serious interest in the study of statecraft and international affairs, but do not need a degree or certificate.  Students have the option of enrolling in courses for credit or as auditors (non-credit).  Unlike other schools, students in the Institute's Continuing Education programs share the same courses and professors as students in the M.A. and Certificate programs.

Internships
In Washington, D.C. many professionals begin their careers as interns. Interns regularly include college students, recent graduates and even those who have held professional positions, but are looking to move to a new field. IWP offers a stimulating academic environment, a chance to be a part of a graduate school team, the opportunity to take a graduate course free of charge and the occasion to be close to Washington scholar-practitioners.
