• Your school will be considered a provider of superior academic programs, just as some of the major colleges and universities who have already earned chapters from us.  To date, students from more than 170 academic institutions (including 100+ officially sanctioned academic chapters) have earned our academic distinction.

• Center for Teaching Excellence supporting the Homeland Security Academic Discipline.
• National depository of college curriculum, model industry programs, best practices, and industry standards.
• Sponsorship of meetings and conferences with opportunities for speaking engagements, paper presentations, and group forums.
