Bellevue University hosts Intelligence Community (IC) Scholar
Program Kick-Off
Students interested in learning more about the Intelligence Community (IC) Scholar Program are invited to participate in an informational session.
Event Details
- Date: Monday, January 25, 2010
- Time: 1:00-2:30 p.m.
- Location: Humanities Building, Room 202.
The event will also be webcast live for distance students, and a link will be available after the program for those who would like to know more but are unable to attend.
The event will include representatives from the Intelligence Community, GP-NSEC, and Bellevue University International Security and Intelligence Studies (ISIS) faculty. Careers in the Intelligence field and additional information on becoming an IC Scholar will be presented. Students will be able to talk with the representatives and ask questions at the end of the 1:00 presentation.
The goal of the IC Scholar Program is to develop students with the knowledge of international and cultural issues, foreign languages, analysis, and critical thinking skills required to serve the 16 federal agencies that make up the U.S. Intelligence community. Preparation for graduation as an IC Scholar includes opportunities for funding for study abroad in a non-English speaking country, internship, and familiarization with IC relevant activities. Participation in a cultural immersion experience or demonstrated proficiency in a foreign language are a part of the requirements.
The designation of IC Scholars is a central goal of the Great Plains-National Security Education Consortium (GP-NSEC) of which Bellevue University is a member. The GP-NSEC was selected by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as part of the Intelligence Community Centers of Academic Excellence.
Students pursuing careers in the Intelligence Community, who are interested in seeking the designation must be U.S. citizens and maintain a 3.0 GPA in addition to demonstrating specific competencies.
