Leading the field in security policy
The Benson-Bertsch Center for International Trade & Security (CITS) is the hub for education, research, and outreach on national and international security issues at the University of Georgia.
Benson-Bertsch CITS was established in 1987 with the support of former U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Our mission is to empower students and professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to address the complex national and international security challenges of the 21st century. Benson-Bertsch CITS provides a dynamic learning environment that integrates academic excellence with real-world applications, preparing the next generation of leaders to make a significant impact across the national security enterprise on issues including strategic trade, energy security, and emerging technology.
