San Jose, CA (PRWEB) August 17, 2007
Henley-Putnam University is now a proud provider to the Air Force Air University Associate-To-Baccalaureate Program (AU ABC). The Program offers advanced degree opportunities to every Air Force enlisted member. Henley-Putnam University will offer online bachelor degree programs in Management of Personal Protection, Intelligence Management and Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies to Air Force personnel.
The program is open to active duty Air Force, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard personnel. Degree requirements can also be completed after a member retires or separates from the service. Airmen can apply their Community College of the Air Force credits toward a bachelor's degree from Henley-Putnam University in three areas: Intelligence Management, Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies or the Management of Personal Protection. The totally on-line features of AU ABC eliminate many of the "brick and mortar" barriers students have faced in the past, providing them the ability to complete a degree program anywhere, anytime.
"Forging a partnership with the Air University allows us to provide active Air Force personnel with a specialized degree in the strategic security field in a highly flexible way," said Michael Corcoran, PhD., President of Henley-Putnam University. "These men and women who defend our nation can now better leverage their associate degrees and further their careers in intelligence, counter terrorism and protection."
Michael Prucey, Lt. Col. USAF (RET), Henley-Putnam's Director of Military Awareness Coordinators adds, "The AU ABC initiative is a much needed educational innovation. Through this program, Air Force personnel now have access to a bachelor's degree in the strategic security industry. These dedicated men and women have exposure to an inter-departmental faculty rich with real world experience from the military, law enforcement, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and many other similar agencies."
