This program is taught by regular UA faculty who draw upon their research expertise to offer courses that cover existing and prospective security challenges faced by the world community. As international security goes beyond military capacity and force, the program also offers courses on energy, environmental, economic, and human security challenges. Currently, the program offers more than 15 courses, covering a wide range of topics including terrorism, armed conflict, climate change, democratization, and energy policy in a number of regions around the globe, including Europe, the Middle East, Eurasia, Russia, the United States, Sub-Saharan Africa, and East Asia.

All courses are taught by Arizona faculty members and have been designed specifically for the ISS program. All courses are eight weeks long to accommodate students who work full-time or part-time while engaging with the ISS program. For those seeking to gain knowledge of international security, but who do not wish to pursue a full graduate degree, a Certificate in International Security Studies is also available. The Certificate consists of four courses or twelve credit hours. Students can start either in the fall or in the spring. It takes approximately four weeks to process and admit a new application.
