Seton Hall Fellowship Places 80% of Graduates in Security Roles as AI Reshapes Threat Analysis

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 20

Summary

  • Seton Hall’s National Security Graduate Fellowship says 80% of its students land roles at agencies and contractors including the NSA, CIA, Secret Service and military after doing live research for government clients.
  • Mohamad Mirghahari said the program is built around current threats—from China and foreign influence to cyber risks and geopolitical flashpoints—so students arrive "ready day one" rather than needing years of on-the-job training.
  • Government agencies use the fellowship for real-world analysis on issues such as the South China Sea, India-Pakistan tensions and possible U.S. re-engagement with the Taliban, with some papers later recirculated inside government.
  • Artificial intelligence has become a force multiplier in that work, helping students mine large datasets, track foreign influence and deliver analysis that Mirghahari said agencies sometimes rate above staff with 5 to 10 years of experience.
