THE FOUNDING OF THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE UNIVERSITY

Created in 1962 by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, during the administration of President

John F. Kennedy, the National Intelligence University (NIU) represents the culmination of efforts that

began during the Eisenhower administration. Concerned about intelligence coordination, President

Eisenhower appointed a Joint study group that examined the organizational and management

structure of U.S. foreign intelligence. The final report of this group called for the creation of an

intelligence organization that would represent a focal point for all military intelligence efforts and

serve as a primary point of contact for

military intelligence support.

In 1961, President Kennedy and Secretary

of Defense McNamara agreed with the

findings of the Joint study group and took

an immediate interest in its

recommendations. In August of that year,

President Kennedy authorized the

creation of the Defense Intelligence

Agency (DIA). DIA became responsible to

the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the integration

of Department of Defense (DoD)

intelligence and counterintelligence

operations, training programs, and career

development of intelligence personnel. With the formation of the DIA, the Office of the Secretary of

Defense continued the effort to reduce duplicative programs and, on February 27, 1962, directed that

the DIA establish the Defense Intelligence School (DIS).

Since its founding, DIS has undergone many changes in its mission responsibilities. From assessing the

capability of known and potential adversaries, to studying developments in science and technology

intelligence, to evaluating the Constitutional and legal issues surrounding homeland security, DIS and

its successors provide a strategic and critical resource to the entire Intelligence Community (IC). 1 No

other institution like it exists in the United States. Students from across the federal government and

military are able to gather and collectively study, discuss, analyze and share their perspectives of

those of their agency in relation to ongoing issues of importance to U.S. national security.

1 The Intelligence Community (IC) is a federation of executive branch agencies and organizations that work separately and together to conduct

intelligence activities necessary for the conduct of foreign relations and the protection of the national security of the United States as specified in Executive Order 12333 (as amended).

10

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

The National Intelligence University is a regionally accredited academic institution of higher education whose degrees are highly sought after and recognized by intelligence, government, and academic institutions for their rigor and breadth. NIU provides a strategic and critical resource to the entire IC, and its student body reflects that mission. It is one of the few environments in which students from multiple agencies of the IC collectively study, reflect on, and discuss the issues confronting the IC and U.S. national security.

University Enrollment Trends

Fall enrollment has increased an average of 3.5 percent annually in the past five years totaling an 18 percent increase from AY 2010–11 to AY 2014–15. Also during this period, the University experienced an increase in non-degree-seeking students and thesis-only students from 14 percent to 23 percent (averaging 19 percent of enrollment from AY 2010–11 to AY 2014–15); part-time enrollment has remained fairly steady (averaging 49 percent of enrollment); and full-time enrollment has steadily decreased (averaging 32 percent of enrollment. (Non-degree-seeking/thesis-only students are noted as “Other” in Figure 6 below.)

Figure 6: NIU Enrollment AY 2007–08 through AY 2014–15

Undergraduate degree enrollment has remained steady averaging 24 students over the past three years. In AY 2010-11, NIU began a two-year, part-time BSI cohort. This cohort graduated in AY 2011-12 and enrollment for the cohort was not continued. (BSI full-time has an average annual growth rate percentage of -12 percent over the past five years.)

After an average 5 percent increase annually from AY 2010–11 through AY 2013–14, master’s degree (MSSI and MSTI) enrollment decreased 5 percent from last year. This marks a 30 percent decrease in enrollment in each program. This decrease is attributed to continued changes in economic conditions impacting the Federal government.

GRADUATION AND RETENTION8

NIU Graduation Rate

NIU’s graduation rate represents the total number of students who received a degree (must be actually conferred) within 100 percent of normal (expected) time for completion for full-time (FT) and within 150 percent of normal time for completion for part-time (PT), divided by the revised adjusted cohorts.9 Normal completion at 100 percent is defined as 1 year for full-time programs. Normal completion at 150 percent is defined as 3 years for part-time programs.

Current Graduation Rates at Normal Completion10

Full-Time 87%

Part-Time 25%

All Students Full-time Only

Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence 50% 85%

Master of Science and Technology Intelligence 100% 92%

Bachelor of Science in Intelligence 53% 92%

Internally, NIU also monitors the total student graduation rate by academic year of entry. This completion rate represents the total number of first-year students who entered a graduate or undergraduate degree program and completed the program within any given year (degree must be

actually conferred), divided by the revised adjusted cohorts. Graduation rate by academic year entry may change each year as/if students from the specified entry year continue to complete their program.

University Graduation Rate Trends

8 Data Source: NIU Annual Census Reports AY 2006–AY 2014 and Office of the Registrar NIU Database Raw

Graduation Data as of August 21, 2014. Changes in historical rates may occur due to systems data quality clean-up efforts (2012–2014), updating incorrect or missing student information. 9 Reporting for part-time graduation rates was updated from 100 percent to 150 percent of normal time of

completion beginning in AY 2014–15, after review of expected completion for the program. “Revised adjusted cohorts” equals the total first year degree-seeking students plus allowable adjustments–death, disability, or service (deployment) in the armed services. 10

Part-time data is available up through AY 2011–12 due to the 2-year normal completion time of the part-time program. All rates except full-time only include both full-time and part-time data through AY 2011–12. Full-time only rates are reported for AY 2013–14.

NIU graduation rate at normal completion (100% FT and 150% PT) is the formal graduation rate reported to internal and external stakeholders, and in University publications.

Academic Information

40

UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE

At the end of the academic year, NIU students are asked to reflect on their educational experience and on the expected longer-term impact of their NIU education on their career. NIU takes full advantage of this feedback to enhance institutional planning and administration, academic programs, and student support services. Below is a summary of the AY 2013–14 End-of-Program Survey results.

When students were asked about their overall experience

at NIU…

96% indicated it was a positive experience.

95% indicated they would recommend NIU to others.

41

The majority of feedback comes from our full-time and graduating students from both the graduate and undergraduate programs. These students indicate that they are most satisfied with their overall experience and with specific interactions with administration and staff, faculty and advisors, and university processes, services, and resources.

42

Learning Outcomes

The NIU program is designed to be completed within one year for full-time students and within two years for part-time students. Although the academic year is condensed, students feel the rigor, challenge, and integrity developed within the curricula will result in both short and longer-term rewards.

93% of Students from the College of Strategic Intelligence and the

School of Science and Technology Intelligence Agree …

The NIU experience helped prepare me for future leadership roles.

The NIU experience helped increase my critical thinking capabilities.

The NIU experience helped improve my written communication skills.

The NIU experience helped improve my oral communication skills.

The degree program gave me an appreciation for the complexity of the

intelligence enterprise.

The degree program improved my ability to understand and analyze key

intelligence concepts and challenges facing the United States.

The degree program was academically rigorous and intellectually challenging.

The degree program improved my ability to organize ideas and information.

The degree program improved my understanding of ethics and professional

responsibility within the context of my day-to-day activities.

43

Thesis and Capstone Projects

The graduate thesis is designed to demonstrate critical thinking and the understanding and proper application of research methodology. The undergraduate capstone project is designed to demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving in a collaborative environment. Students indicate that they feel the outcomes of both are successfully being met.

44

Undergraduate Capstone

45

Part-Time Students

Feedback from academic year surveys indicates that part-time students are satisfied with their education. This feedback also indicates opportunity to improve the overall University experience for these students. These students believe more is needed when it comes to overall communication, engagement, and support.

58% of Part-Time Students Agree …

I was satisfied with my choice of electives as a part-time student.

I felt I was part of the University student body.

I felt University communications (emails, flyers, notices) were received in a timely

manner.

My part-time advisor provided support during my time in the program.

NIU Guest Speaker Program

53% of Full-Time Students Agree …

The DSP/NIU Guest Speaker Program was a valuable learning

experience and contributed to my professional development.

Although students indicate that there is general value in the NIU Guest Speaker Program, students also struggle with correlating a strong relationship between the timing of a guest speaker (topic) and course learning, and more importantly with their thesis topic. Students were asked to consider balancing the value of speakers and rigor of the program. Results indicate that students would find the program more beneficial if it included more balanced amount of academic and Intelligence speakers.

46

The program would be more beneficial if the speakers were:

NIU FACULTY

Faculty and Staff Diversity

Our faculty brings a wealth of knowledge and experience gained through earning advanced degrees in intelligence-related fields, and through leadership positions in the national Intelligence Community. Faculty members possess a wide range of expertise in IC topics and come from varied academic and intelligence careers. Many have served on national boards and commissions, including the National Security Council, Intelligence Science Board, Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission, and selected presidential commissions. Two of our faculty members have been appointed Ambassadors and served in the State Department.

NIU is committed to Federal policies regarding equal employment opportunity and is committed to the principle that access to study or employment opportunities afforded by the University, including all benefits and privileges, be accorded each person—student, faculty, or staff member—on the basis of individual merit and without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sex, or age. (NIU faculty and staff demographic diversity is presented in Figures 22 and 23.)

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Department of State (DOS), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), FBI, Foreign Denial and Deception Committee (FDDC), and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) are all represented on our faculty. The Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy provide faculty members as service advisors for their cohorts of students enrolled in the University. CIA, DIA, DOS, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI, NSA, and NGA, also provide distinguished Chairs and greatly contribute to a more diverse Intelligence faculty.

Leadership and

Governance

NIU ORGANIZATION In its original charter, NIU was designated as a professional educational institution intended to enhance the preparation of selected civilian and military officers and key DoD civilian personnel for important command staff and policymaking positions in the national and international security structure. For the first three decades of its existence, NIU was led by a military officer, or commandant. This position transitioned to a civilian college president in 1994. The NIU President reports to the Director of the DIA, but also advises the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD[I]) and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). In 1968, a Board of Visitors was formally authorized, to jointly oversee University activities.

Board of Visitors

The Board of Visitors (BOV) consists of 12 members, plus 3 ex officio members representing the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Department of Homeland Security. Board members are appointed by the Secretary of Defense and operate within the guidelines of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The BOV is charged with ensuring that the mission of the University is implemented, providing guidance to its chief executive officer, and reports its findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence through the Director of the DIA. The BOV, in partnership with the University administration and faculty, ensures that the institution demonstrates integrity through the manner in which it specifies its goals, selects and retains faculty, admits students, establishes curricula, guides research programs, pursues relevant service, demonstrates attention to equity and diversity issues, allocates its resources, serves the intelligence and national security interests, and provides for the success of its students.

Administration

President: Leadership of the University is vested in the President, who is also a member of the Defense Intelligence Senior Executive Service (DISES). The President is the chief executive officer and charged with overall responsibility for managing the University. The President’s responsibilities include management of the budget and facilities, as well as the education and research programs. The President is the primary liaison between NIU and DIA and participates in various DIA planning functions. In this process, the NIU President must compete with other DIA directorates for resources. When those other directorates are directly supporting ongoing overseas contingency operations, the President is faced with the reality that potential increased funding for the University means a trade-off in decreased or reduced funding for support of ongoing military operations. The President is also the primary representative of the University to the Intelligence Community and to U.S. government leadership.

Chief of Staff: The Chief of Staff is the senior military member of the University and serves as the overall link between the University and the military services. The Chief of Staff is also the President’s designated representative and ranking administrative official for the University in the President’s absence.

Executive Vice President/Provost: The Provost is the University’s Chief Academic Officer and advisor to the President on the content and direction of academic, research, and outreach programs. The Provost assists the President in the development, execution, review, and evaluation of all related activities, including academic policy and plans, faculty matters (both military and civilian), student admissions and evaluation criteria, curriculum and support resources, applied research, executive liaison within the service and Joint intelligence and educational communities, and representation of the University and DIA in educational forums. The Provost oversees the College of Strategic Intelligence, the School of Science and Technology Intelligence, the Center for International Engagement, and the Institutional Effectiveness Department.

Vice Provost/Director, Institutional Effectiveness: The Vice Provost is the Deputy Chief Academic Officer and reports to the Provost. Under the principal purview of the Vice Provost are the Registrar and University Admissions Department, the Institutional Effectiveness Department, and the NIU Academic Centers. The Vice Provost serves as an evaluator for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and J7/Joint Professional Military Education Process for Accreditation of Joint Education (PAJE) Team Evaluator for colleges and universities. As a University advisor to the Provost, the Vice Provost and Director of Institutional Effectiveness develops, implements, and manages an institutional assessment and reporting plan, incorporating the latest methodologies designed for outcomes assessment in higher education. The Director of Institutional Effectiveness leads the analysis of academic and institutional performance trends and the collection and reporting of outcome data for purposes of institutional effectiveness and improvement. The Director serves as the Human Protections Administrator for the Human Research Protection Program/National Intelligence University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB), ensuring that appropriate oversight mechanisms, policies, and procedures have been implemented to guarantee compliance and assurance with the Department of Health and Human Services/Department of Defense (HHS/DoD) determinations of the IRB.
