[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent with a kid at VT majoring in NSFA.  Great combo of international affairs, language, security issues, and intelligence analysis.  This major is very versatile and can be paired with any number of minors (GIS, language, area studies, cybersecurity, etc.) making it extremely marketable.  My kid absolutely loves it we feel so fortunate that VT is instate for us - though many of DC’s friends come from all around the country.  [/quote]

OP again, I’m still a bit confused by the marketability unless we are talking about Bering recruited by CIA for example. I looked through the course list and it was very interesting, a lot of political science, but that usually isn’t a major right out of school that lends itself to being hired. What is your kid thinking of doing?

How does the major compare to a degree from SFS at Georgetown?[/quote]

DP.  Several links have already been provided that list just a few of the agencies/companies graduates work for.  DoD, CIA, State, Homeland Security, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, NSA, Accenture, banks, multi-national corporations, think tanks, graduate work, law school, etc.

An SFS degree is specifically tailored for State Dept./FSOs/diplomatic work.  The NSFA degree encompasses far more intelligence/security areas.  [/quote]
