SUMMA CUM LAUDE | 4.0 GPA

Henley-Putnam University | BS Intelligence Management:

The intelligence training program consisted of considerable study on identifying, describing, and critically evaluating information sources and applicable intelligence technologies. Graduates learn to appraise contemporary and emergent threats, challenges and issues within a sphere of the security industry such as business, law enforcement, homeland security, national security or regional studies. With an intelligence management degree, the graduate is better prepared to analyze intelligence issues or challenges, demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively with diverse groups and to identify and apply professional ethics to the intelligence field. In addition, communication is a critical component. Intelligence professionals are required to communicate effectively. Therefore, intelligence management graduates develop strong general professional written and oral skills, developing reports and presentations that are relevant to security industry decision-makers. Among the courses taken, the core requirements included fundamentals of intelligence gathering, historical case file examinations, ethics, intelligence collection, open source research, and analysis. Aside from intelligence management, a deeper study included an emphasis on counterintelligence, intelligence operations and counterterrorism.
