“Take coursework that emphasizes writing and presentation skills. Writing for policy audiences differs from academic writing, so taking courses or finding internship opportunities that allow you to practice both short- and long-form writing will be helpful. More broadly, there’s no single, fixed path for a career in national\/international security – there are tons of opportunities to combine basically any discipline with security issues, so follow your interests and figure out what you’re most passionate about.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
