Competitive Intelligence Education

Competitive Intelligence Education List

Intelligence education is currently provided through a variety of programs, institutions, and degrees. This list focuses on those educational institutions that offer courses, certificates, certification and degrees in competitive intelligence or intelligence analysis as of September 2009. The primary criteria for inclusion is that the organization provides accredited intelligence training in information or analysis. Preference is given to organizations with an .edu designation (US) or are recognized institutions of higher education.

Some intelligence programs are focused on law enforcement, security, or government intelligence. However, many of them are open to the public and cover analytical and collection techniques.

The CI education list is organized into two sections (educational institutions and accredited certificate programs), and organized alphabetically by name. Each record contains:

• the name of the organization and its country
• the department or school providing the courses
• the name of the degree, certificate or course
• a description (copied from the organization's web site)
• a link to the web location

 Content for this list was developed from two sources:

1. Google searches with the search structure:
   1. certificate OR degree OR certification "competitive intelligence" site:.edu
   2. university AND "intelligence studies"
2. International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE) institutional membership
