One of the Few Programs with Multiple Federal Designations
Our National Security Studies program is one of a few in the country to have federal designations as both a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense and an Intelligence Community Center for Academic Excellence.
For years, ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½app's Department of Professional Security Studies (PSS) has worked hard to maintain and update our Cyber Defense Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) designation from the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). As of September 2019, the Department is also an Intelligence Community CAE (IC-CAE) as the result of winning a grant from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The IC-CAE designation was earned as part of a consortium with Rutgers University and CUNY.
Make Lasting Connections to Advance Your Career
Our alumni network is vast and diverse in local, state, and federal government agencies and law enforcement, military service, financial sector companies and oversight, policymaking and advocacy, and private consulting. The department hosts an annual symposium where current students, alumni, and employers gather to address emerging security threats and recruit new talent and as an online degree student you are cordially invited to attend and participate.
