Online Certificate Programs Offer an Option for Military Students

Servicemembers who would like to pursue careers as intelligence analysts, counterterrorism specialists, or corporate, private or federal security professionals, find online certificate programs offer a flexible and logical alternative to conventional degrees.

Certificate programs can help future security professionals who would like to explore various professions within the area of strategic security, but who may not be ready to commit to a degree program. Certificates in Intelligence Analysis, Security Management, or Intelligence and Counterterrorism Profiling can help students develop important skills to improve their chances of securing positions in government agencies, law enforcement agencies, the private defense sector, NGOs, think tanks, and the military. The extra training and knowledge provided by certificate programs could keep soldiers one step ahead of the competition.

Online certificate programs in security-related specialties, offer military students the opportunity to earn credits that can help advance their careers, while still managing their busy lives. This is especially helpful for servicemembers who find themselves back home and want to stay close to their families while pursuing coursework in their area of interest.
