To provide academic institutions with an overview of the Security Profession as it pertains to US Government Civil Service. 

In pursuing goals associated with the Intelligence Community Five-Year Strategic Human Capital Plan, specifically being the “employer of choice able to attract and retain the very best and brightest in our ranks”, the ODNI Special Security Center is pursuing the development of an academic degree that will support attracting future Security Professionals.  
Security Operations is an academic area that is an amalgamation of the seven basic security disciplines—personnel security, physical security, information security, communications security, information systems security, investigations and security management.  We believe it is time to join with academe to create such a program. 

Academic institutions who are interested in developing curriculum for a Security Operations academic discipline specifically designed for the in-resident student.
