Formal education cover information warfare, cryptography, network security, digital forensics, wireless security, and formal security concepts.  

A paid internship that offers selected interns valuable hands-on experience working with full-time AFRL scientists and engineers on cutting-edge research and technology, and can contribute to unique, research-based projects.

Project GO Scholars study the following critical languages in domestic and overseas programs: Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili, Turkish, and Urdu.
