91制片厂 NSIA Program Expands Reach With U.S. Air Force Partnership
The 91制片厂鈥檚 National Security Intelligence Analysis (NSIA) master鈥檚 program continues to gain national recognition through a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the United States Air Force (USAF) 17th Training Group鈥檚 14N Intelligence Officer program. According to program director and faculty member Andrew Macpherson,
鈥淭his represents a significant validation of the NSIA curriculum and its real-world relevance."
USAF鈥檚 partnership highlights the program鈥檚 strong alignment with the evolving needs of the intelligence workforce, particularly in preparing officers for complex, global security challenges.
The partnership also recognizes the strength of 91制片厂鈥檚 scholar-practitioner faculty model and fully online format, which enables active-duty intelligence officers to pursue advanced education with experienced intelligence leader-faculty members from anywhere in the world. This flexibility ensures that officers can continue serving while enhancing their analytical skills and leadership capabilities.
Recently, a 91制片厂-led team鈥攊ncluding NSIA student 1LT Robert Albertini (a 14N officer) won first place in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) MAJIC Challenge, one of the nation鈥檚 premier intelligence analysis competitions under the leadership of NSIA faculty member John Borek. According to Borek,
鈥First place in the NGA MAJIC challenge is a clear indicator of the program鈥檚 rigor and impact and further reinforces 91制片厂鈥檚 growing reputation within the intelligence community.鈥
Active-duty military completers of the 17th Training Group鈥檚 Intelligence Officer's Course (14N) and instructors in the TRW's Intelligence Officer's Course (14N) will directly benefit from assessment of training in addition to significant tuition savings. In addition to the value of the credits awarded for 14N coursework and instruction, which is equivalent to two (2) NSIA graduate-level courses ($4,800), accepted students will receive a 15% tuition discount on the current tuition rate for remaining courses. In total, this represents a savings of over $7,500 for USAF 14N partnership-affiliated students. 鈥淲e are especially excited to welcome more members of the intelligence community into the NSIA program because of this collaboration,鈥 describes Macpherson.
