Online Degrees & Certificates for Intelligence Studies Professionals

Our intelligence degrees prepare dedicated professionals to address the complex challenges facing public safety, national security, and intelligence communities. AMU is a leading provider of affordable education to adult learners worldwide, including those in military, defense, national security, and public safety sectors, as well as other mission-driven civilians. Coursework is online, providing flexibility to earn a degree or certificate at a pace that accommodates busy schedules.

Our practitioner faculty have been in the trenches and share their professional experience with students. They’ve worked with federal, state, and local agencies, like the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, intelligence organizations, and municipal law enforcement or public safety operations.

These degree programs are helpful if you are currently employed in the intelligence field, or wish to pursue positions as military, civilian, or corporate intelligence specialists. Core courses in these programs impart substantive knowledge and analytic skills required by all professionals in the intelligence community, while the concentration choices enable you to focus on a functional area or intelligence sub-field.
