Capella University and the FBI National Academy Associates, Inc.
Agree to an Academic Partnership
FBINAA members to receive a tuition reduction and ability to
transfer previous credits
MINNEAPOLIS (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 4, 2008 --
Capella
University (www.capella.edu)
(NASDAQ:CPLA), an accredited* online
university that has built its reputation by providing
quality education for working adults, announces a new academic alliance
with the FBI National Academy Associates, Inc. With more than 17,000
senior law enforcement professionals as members, the FBINAA is dedicated
to providing the highest degree of law enforcement expertise, training,
education and information.
“The FBINAA’s mission is to provide members with continuing education,
training, research, and professional development opportunities,” stated
Gary Foster, COO of FBI National Academy Associates. “This alliance with
Capella University fulfills our mission and offers our members who are
full-time working law enforcement leaders the opportunity to attend
class online when it fits their schedule and earn a degree that will
help to equip them for the challenges of managing a law enforcement
agency. Clearly, Capella University is a real value and offers a quality
education you can’t afford to pass up. Let’s face it, an education opens
doors. Lack of an education can close them.”
The new alliance permits members of the FBINAA to receive a tuition
reduction and grants at Capella, and transfer credits for work already
accomplished at the National Academy. These special benefits can be
applied to a degree in Capella’s Public Safety programs. The Public
Safety programs consist of 10 specializations at the bachelor’s,
master’s, and doctoral levels, including Criminal Justice, Emergency
Management, Homeland Security, Public Safety Leadership and Security
Management.
“Law enforcement agencies and organizations are recognizing Capella as a
leader in the Public Safety education sector,” says Dr. Christopher
Cassirer, acting president of Capella University. “Capella’s reputation
as a high-quality online
education provider, our field-experienced faculty members, and
the significant number of law enforcement members who seek out our
specializations in Public Safety are all factors why our program is
respected.”
Capella University’s Public Safety programs are designed to help develop
or strengthen the leadership, management, and preparedness skills
critical in today's challenging environment. Our Public Safety faculty
have substantial working experience in organizations such as the FBI,
New York Police Department, Federal Bureau of Prisons, and U.S. Customs.
All public safety specializations were developed in a post-9/11,
post-Hurricane Katrina environment, making the curriculum highly
relevant to the public safety needs of today.
Capella University’s alliances include every branch of the U.S. Armed
Forces, more than 100 leading corporations and professional
associations, and 20 percent of the United States’ community colleges.
