Welcome to National Security Studies (NSS)

Welcome to the National Security Studies (NSS) program at California State University, San Bernardino. We are one of only three such programs in the country, and the only one in the California State University system.

We are a fully accredited Master’s program that provides a comprehensive curriculum for students interested in pursuing careers in national service. NSS alumni serve in many different careers in federal service, including the intelligence community, the General Accountability Office, military services, the legislature, and in the Departments of Defense and State.

The M.A. program at CSUSB houses the CSU Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence (CSU-ACE). CSU-ACE began in the Fall of 2006 with a multi-year, multi-million dollar grant from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence through the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
