You shouldn’t specialize your education in something like this unless you are already working in a related field.

If you are interested in security and intelligence, learn Computer Science and learn how to apply it to fields like IT Security and Forensics. Or major in something like Accounting, which is the backbone of most major investigations (money tracing). You can use GIS to aid geospatial intelligence efforts.

There are other examples, but the point is to give yourself a specialized skill, but with broad employment opportunities.

If you are set on going to school for this sort of thing I’d just do a Poli Sci or IR major.

This type of degree will do nothing to help you work in this field, it just won’t. I’d only recommend if you are currently in the military and want to make the jump into the officer ranks.
