The critical mission of IWP doesn't stop because of COVID-19
During times of crisis, it is important to understand fully all the tools of statecraft and their integration in order to ensure our national security will endure through every challenge.
We offer academic programs in national security, international affairs, and intelligence.
What Makes IWP Unique
IWP teaches all the instruments of statecraft — diplomacy, military strategy, opinion formation, public diplomacy, intelligence, counterintelligence, economic strategy, and the principles of leadership — the coordinated use of which can improve national security while reducing the potential for war.
This curriculum is complemented by an emphasis on American history and founding principles, the critical importance of moral leadership, and a realistic appraisal of the global strategic environment, as taught by the nation’s leading faculty of scholar practitioners.
Applications are open for the summer semester
Learn from scholar practitioners at the only graduate school of national security and international affairs where you will be exposed to all the arts of statecraft.
