My brother is interested in becoming a defense analyst of one sort
or another - ultimately working perhaps for one of the well known
defense think tanks.
Unfortunately, there is no well identified educational pathway for
future defense analysts. For now he is pursuing an undergrad
degree in political science, and now he is trying to decide on what
sort of graduate degree to obtain, and where to obtain it.
Basically he is looking for a program that will give him a strong
background in defense and international affairs that integrates
military simulations (wargaming) into its curriculum. What I wonder
if is anyone can recommend graduate programs for him to apply to.
So far he has applied to the following:
Georgetown University - Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service
Tufts University - Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
George Washington University - Elliott School of International Affairs
Johns Hopkins University - School of Advanced International Studies
Can anyone comment on these programs or recommend others or
comment on how to go about becoming a defense analyst?
Thanks!
