Intelligence Community Center for Academic Excellence (IC CAE)
It takes many minds with diverse skills to tackle global issues. The Intelligence Community Center for Academic Excellence (IC CAE) is a national security program searching for students willing to take on the challenge of being the next generation of intelligence professionals (think agencies like the CIA, Homeland Security, FBI, and more!). IC CAE considers students who are U.S. citizens and are in any degree program.
Estrella Mountain Community College, through our partnership with the University of Arizona, is offering an approved Intelligence Community pathway into the IC CAE program for our students. Without changing your overall area of interest, you can add certain classes, internships, and other resources to set you on the Intelligence Community path while here at EMCC. From your academic studies to foreign languages and cultural immersion, EMCC prepares you to enter the workforce in U.S. Intelligence by enhancing your critical thinking, analytical, and cultural skills.
