So, I am interested in working in the Intelligence Community or the United States Foreign Service and am interested in GM and schools in the greater DC area. At GM, I would like to receive a BA in Global Affairs and in Government & International Politics with a minor in Intelligence Analysis and concentrations in International Relations and in the Middle East and North Africa. So, if someone can tell me a little bit about these programs, GM’s extracurriculars, the admissions process (EA), and the school’s rep/selectivity. That would be great, thank you.
GMU is has a diverse community of students. You will be able to obtain internships in the DC area which is accessible by the GMU shuttle which is free to students and the DC metro. I would recommend taking a tour of the campus and meeting with professors for the dept you are interested in. There are also many opportunities to study abroad. Apply early action if you are interested in the honors program to do research with a faculty member and to be considered for scholarships.

There are also options to study public health and cybersecurity if those are areas you are also considering.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it!
