One-Year in-Residence

NIU students can earn a degree by attending classes, in-residence/full-time, over 11 months starting in August and ending in June. The in-residence/full-time program comprises both a Master of Science in Strategic Intelligence (MSSI) and a Master of Science and Technology Intelligence (MSTI), as well as a completion program for a Bachelor of Science in Intelligence (BSI). These programs have unique requirements, foremost of which is an endorsement by the student’s home agency or department.

Two-Year

Students attend classes one weekend a month (full day on Saturday and Sunday) for two years along with a two-week intensive summer session at ICC-B. Reservist/National Guard applicants must be nominated by their unit and must submit a signed memorandum by an O-6 in their chain of command with their application.

Students attend class evening and typically complete the degree in two years. This format does not require a nomination from the student’s organization and is available at ICC-B.

Based on course availability, part-time students can attend class during the day at ICC-B, but it is the student’s responsibility to ensure management approval. The supervisor approval form must be submitted with the application to attend day classes at ICC-B.
