Temporary Security Studies offer fellows an intensive learning experience focused on the most difficult national security challenges the United States faces today. Each seminar will provide a practitioner’s view of national security, led by faculty who have direct experience forming and advising American policy. This summer’s offerings provide students the flexibility to create their ideal summer experience – by applying for a four-week summer fellowship or choosing among one-week seminars to create their own individualized course of study. All fellows will have the opportunity to hear from senior policymakers and national security experts. Those who attend the full program will be recognized as Grand Strategy Fellows. Grand Strategy Fellows will gain a comprehensive understanding of grand strategy both in theory and in action. They will take courses dedicated to the three most important theaters to the United States—Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East—and engage in simulations and case studies that reflect real-world decision-making. Students seeking a more specialized experience can apply directly to the one-week courses within the Security Studies Program that best fit their interests and knowledge level. This option is also ideal for students and young professionals who have other internships, jobs, or commitments during the summer. Hertog Foundation
