Nonproliferation & Terrorism Internships
Our students gain valuable professional experience and field-specific knowledge through local and international internships.
Professional Development Programs

Our International Organizations in Nonproliferation program connects students with semester-long internship positions in intergovernmental organizations in the nonproliferation field. The International Professional Service Semester is a professional immersion program where students serve in a broader range of internationally-focused organizations while completing academic coursework. |

Many students hold research assistantships at our two research centers: the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) and the Monterey Terrorism Research and Education Program (MonTREP). |

The Institute maintains a Cooperative Education program with the Defense Intelligence Agency, providing qualified students with the opportunity of a paid, six-month internship. We also partner with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for their federal STEP internship program, also a six-month, paid opportunity. |
