Abstract

This article presents a prescriptive curriculum design for a new Bachelors of Arts program in Intelligence Studies. Commencing from an earlier qualitative and quantitative empirical study that conducted and analyzed an extensive assessment of the discipline subject content, this work offers detailed recommendations for curriculum, instruction, assessment, and program evaluation aspects of this Intelligence Studies program. Likewise, this paper features course descriptions, recommended textbooks and other requirements for this course of study. Reflecting on this effort to establish an Intelligence Studies program, this research asserts a significant program of study and provides a rich proposal for those seeking to inaugurate or refine a similar effort.

Key words: Intelligence studies, program development, curriculum and instruction design, international studies, and security studies.
