Law enforcement intelligence has never been more crucial to national security than it is today.
MSU’s commitment to research and outreach related to all levels of law enforcement sparked the creation of the Intelligence Program in the School of Criminal Justice, the nation's oldest degree-granting criminal justice program.
The program provides smaller agencies with the training and resources to develop an intelligence capacity that will help federal agencies such as the FBI and Department of Homeland Security in thwarting terror attacks and other potential threats.
MSU prides itself on applying university-generated knowledge to real-world issues that include identity theft, computer security and international crime. The School of Criminal Justice collaborates with agencies and assists communities here and abroad to enhance safety and ensure justice through pioneering research, undergraduate and graduate education, and nationally recognized certificate programs.
