Educational Opportunities

As part of its ongoing efforts to inform public policy and decisionmaking, RAND offers a number of educational opportunities. The Summer Associates Program brings together graduate students and RAND researchers to conduct short-term independent research within an ongoing project. The RAND School of Public Policy educates students through its master's degrees in technology or national security policy, as well as its M.Phil. or Ph.D. in policy analysis. RAND fellowships focus on AI, security, and technology and nuclear security. RAND also has a military fellows program for active-duty service members.
