Henley-Putnam University First to Offer Comprehensive
Strategic Security Certificate Program
Program Builds Credentials and Skills for Students
Looking to Explore Strategic Security Careers
(San
Jose, CA, July 7, 2009) - Henley-Putnam University, the
country's leading accredited online institution
specializing in the field of Strategic Security, is the
first to offer students the opportunity to earn a
certificate in Strategic Security–related disciplines,
such as Intelligence Analysis, Security Management and
Intelligence and Counterterrorism Profiling. Strategic
Security is an emerging multidisciplinary approach to
understanding security at the local, national, and
global level.
"Over the past ten years, we've seen an emergence of
people interested in becoming intelligence,
counterterrorism and security professionals," said
Michael Corcoran, PhD, Henley-Putnam University
president and former U.S. Secret Service agent. "The new
certificate program is ideal for those looking to
explore these various professions."
According to Henley-Putnam University representatives,
the new, flexible certificate program was designed for
students to gain academic credentials through accredited
courses as they develop skills that can be applied to
their future careers. Students will leave the program
with increased value, marketable experience, and
potential to earn more income in the field.
"Certificate students have access to the same expert
instructors, the same format as our regular courses, and
the ability to apply credits should they decide to earn
a degree," added Dr. Corcoran. "It's a great opportunity
for interested students to build their resumes and gain
expertise as they decide which path to pursue."
Students may choose from seven certificate options
offered through the program, including:
Intelligence Analysis
Security Management
Intelligence and Counterterrorism Profiling
Executive Protection
Counterterrorism Studies
Intelligence Collection
Strategic Intelligence
Henley-Putnam curriculums help students to develop many
important skills to improve their chances of securing
positions/advancement in government agencies, law
enforcement agencies, the private defense sector, NGOs,
think tanks, the military, and the protection/security
field. Students who complete the certificate program and
have sufficient work experience may go on to become
intelligence analysts; counterterrorism specialists;
corporate, private or federal security professionals;
and many other professions within the Strategic Security
arena.
In addition to its certificate program, Henley-Putnam
offers bachelors and masters degree programs in
