"Most (if not all) security studies programs mainly center on conflict and security issues through a military-based lens. Northeastern looks at these issues as well, but adds on the importance of non-military threats to the country—vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, climate change, cyberspace, environmental disasters, and resilience." — Carlo Caro, Alumnus

"The program proved to be unique because of the exposure to world-class practitioners in the classroom." — Brad Belzak, Alumnus
