Academic Programs for Defense and Intelligence Leadership

IWP and the United States Naval War College

• 92% of IWP’s courses have been granted equivalency in the Naval War College’s Non-Resident Graduate Degree Program.
• Eight NWC Areas of Study may be completed solely at IWP, and in three others eight of nine credits may be completed at IWP.

IWP and the United States Army

• IWP participates in the Advanced Civilian Schooling Program (ACS): our MA degrees have been adapted to be completed in 18-24 months by select officers.  MA applications are accepted for fall, spring, and summer terms.  Read more
• IWP is approved to host 3-month Joint Interagency, International, Multinational (JIIM) interns.
• Only 17 academic institutions are qualified by the Army to host Senior Service Fellows (SSFs).  IWP is one of these 17 schools, and currently hosts two SSFs each year.  Their work at IWP has been deemed the functional equivalent of the Army War College experience.  

IWP and the Intelligence Community

• IWP has educational agreements or relationships with a number of intelligence community (IC) agencies but is prohibited from discussing these in detail in public materials.  IWP has been educating IC personnel on cutting-edge concerns since 1992. This is a core strength and part of the school's mission.

IWP is a corporate member of:

• Association of the US Army (AUSA)
• National Military Intelligence Association (NMIA)
• Association for Intelligence Officers (AFIO)
• AFCEA International
• International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE)
• American Council on Education (ACE)
