Henley-Putnam University is the only university that focuses specifically in military education. The school is committed to helping students develop into full-fledged military, security and intelligence professionals. Towards this end, students are given the opportunity to learn under the mentorship of an elite team that is dedicated to the students’ allegiance. They are taught skills that will help them specialize in the strategic security industry, in areas such as Intelligence Management, Protection Management and Counterterrorism. This education will teach them management and prevention of security issues.
The first name of Henley-Putnam was the California University of Protection and Intelligence Management, when it was founded. The school was created to help students learn more about the fields of intelligence and counterterrorism. Many of the founders of the school had spent years working with agencies like the CIA, FBI and the Secret Service and used their knowledge to create programs based on real-world experience. In 2007, the name of the school was changed in order to honor two Revolutionary War figures; as well as a reflection of the school’s numerous offerings. The main campus of the school is in San Jose, CA, but students can take a wide variety of courses online.
Henley-Putnam is among the very few schools that offers education totally focused in the fields of intelligence and criminal justice. Students are provided with highly relevant instruction through instructors who have vast experience and leaders in their tradecraft. All students have the advantage of partnering up with several law enforcement, military and security agencies, and obtain hands-on experience while doing their graduation program.
Faculty that teaches both on-campus and online students is highly qualified and hails from prestigious schools like Stanford, Cambridge and Yale. Before enrolling in the school’s programs, all students are subjected to background checks. This is done because the programs have to do with law enforcement and security fields. The flexibility of the online programs allow students to continue with their professions while attending virtual school. Currently, Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate levels are offered. Bachelor’s and Master’s programs are offered in Protection Management, Intelligence Management and Counterterrorism. Doctorate program is offered in Strategic Security.
One of the best things about taking up these courses at Henley-Putnam is that students are not left alone to study on their own. Each and every student is paired with industry mentors and faculty to make it a huge learning experience. Access to the coursework is provided at any time of the day or night.
Henley-Putnam makes it possible for students to earn a high quality degree they need in order to advance their careers in the shortest time possible, without having to give up on their current career. The defining moment for any student interested in today’s strategic security industry is the decision taken to further their education, as that will be the beginning of a successful life.
Completing a degree from this university increases the opportunities for advancement through specialized assignments, recognition for having been a great contributor, enhanced chances of promotion and better team leadership opportunities.
No results.
Sorry folks, but even though its a great looking we site, this place is a scam-the degree is worthless and unfortunately, my dealings with the University has shown that members of theirs staff are unprofessional and frankly, just not too births. Save your time and money and go to a real school. Telling an employer you went to this place has all of the impart of goingto a diploma mill.
You know you are in trouble when the president of an online school clams a questionable Ph.d. Per the HPU web site the president and co-founder got a Ph.D for a Newport University, Newport Beach, Ca.
Per Wiki:
Newport University is a private university located in Newport Beach, California. It was founded in 1976 and is approved by the State of California Bureau of Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education[2], which is not an accreditation agency. This should not be confused with accreditation, as Newport University is not accredited by any agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. The university comprises the schools of Business Administration, Behavioral Sciences and Law.
Translation: The supposed Ph.D in question looks la little suspicious.
Please explain how an accredited degree in the strategic security field is a scam. HPU’s instructors are all highly experienced and the school is recognized by the Department of V.A. and DETC. Their undergraduate degrees are accepted toward graduate programs at other Universities. And I love how someone quotes Wikipedia as a reliable source.
For anyone who has questions about this place I’d be more than willing to answer them. I’ve attended 4 different state, local, and online universities and I would vouch for this one above all of the rest. I earned my B.S. in Intelligence Management from Henley-Putnam and it was a very rigorous couple of years. For anyone that has doubts, the accreditation is more than acceptable for Yale’s graduate school (who wrote me confirming the validity of DETC and HPU in particular). It has earned me a seat in interviews with agencies that I’m not allowed to name and I sit on an Air Force Officer Board next week. If it is good enough for the above organizations then I could care less about the nay-sayers. If you’re interested in quality education and you have the means, then this is top notch. I’ll not defend the price for anything worth having will be hard to get.

First Question….How many people with a degree from this school has the CIA hired?
Trust me, the agency is not looking for people with an intelligence specific education. They have their own University and a 16 week Career Analyst program to teach you their tradecraft.
The agency is looking for people with excellent educations from top schools. Usually with Master Degrees.
They also like people with military experience, who speak a critical foreign language and who have lived overseas.
Most importantly, they are looking for people that can pass their strict security background investigations.
That means no foreign relatives, spouses, property, dual citizenships, no bad credit, criminal history, or most importantly…..current or recent (7 years) drug use…..which means that most people that go to this school are out right off the bat becaues people who pay for these degree must have been high when they signed up.
Bob, I didn’t apply to the CIA. I didn’t apply because the Air Force accepted me and I’m just waiting on my school date. Apparently the “drugs” paid off.
Bob, Do you work for a foreign Service? You seem very interested in this University. Why?
Bryan M. I saw you post on other websites and it looks like you just copy and paste. But you say you was accepted by the Air Force ummm they take volunteers not that hard to get accepted to that.
Justin,
Your response to Bryan M regarding his acceptance into the US Air Force demonstrates your total ignorance on the subject of the US military or any allied Western miltary for that matter. Though the US military is an all volunteer force the process of becoming a commissioned officer whether in the Marines, Air Force, Army, Navy or Coast Guard is a long and daunting process. One doesn’t join the service to become an officer rather one applies to participate in a long and rigorous selection process and if fortunate, succeeds only to commence the training. Education, civic citizenship, physical fitness and moral character are major factors considered while undergoing the selection process. Many apply and many are unsuccessful. I suspect you are an American and yet you fail to recognize the talent of those who have served your country with honour and devotion. The likes of your most famous military leaders such as General Macarthur, General Patton, General Schwarzkopf, Admiral Nimitz (and the list goes on) were not only extraordinary individuals but learned men who graduated from the repective military academies of the US which I hope you realize is no easy feat in and of itself.
I am a Canadian and many of my family served as professional soldiers and have worked side by side with American military personnel. We have always served with our US friends with mutual respect. I have also done some research on Henley Putnam University and I must say that though I don’t know all of the ‘ins and outs’ of the school you could benefit from some of the courses listed on the curriculum. You might actually learn something about the US military and understand how insulting your comments such as those directed at Bryan M can be!!!

Dale
I have reviewed the course of instruction and have spoken personally to the President of HPU. As I have served in several capacities and held (as do currently) positions of trust with our favorite Uncle, I was surprised at the reception I recieved from various agencies and other Universities when I mentioned HPU. The National Defense Intelligence College Network does accept the HPU degrees for post graduate studies. And if your currently working in the field as I am, this degree translates your current hands on experience and knowledge into something substantial. I am sure with DETC acceptance this will eventually graduate to many of the regional/state accreditations as did DeVry, ITT and several other institutions. I have done my due dilligence and can verify that HPU does employ former and current Federal/State/Local Law Enforcement and Intelligence personnel. I do not like that a education in this form is more “mainstream” and easy access as HPU’s enrollment is. But I have been assured that the enrollment process includes a background check (which suprised me). IF this was in fact a diploma mill as some of its critics have suggested, I wondered how HPU has access to the level of background information available they seem to have acces to.
US Army’s Inscom highly recommends the HPU degree program as does USAF OSI, DIA and other organziations such as those mentioned. The fact that having attended a well established and know four year ivy league institution does not give you the “culture of intelligence/Law Enforcement” as HPU does. For those who are still OCONUS, working on going or just are returning and have the time, I recommend HPU for the individual seeking a degree with a sight specific goal.
