Center for the Study of Intelligence

AFIO also recommends that scholars and academic institutions thinking of adding courses on intelligence, terrorism, or related topics, explore the Center for the Study of Intelligence at CIA which acts as an additional resource to encourage and improve the teaching of intelligence in colleges and universities throughout the country.  CIA historians may be invited to lecture on intelligence-related topics. Through CIA's Officer-in-Residence Program, CIA officers teach intelligence-related courses at US colleges or universities for a two-year tour as visiting professors. The Exceptional Intelligence Analyst Program offers selected analysts throughout the Intelligence Community the opportunity to develop a year-long program of study and research, culminating in the production and possible publication by CSI of a paper detailing the study's analytical conclusions and its potential impact on the Intelligence Community.  More information on CIA's Educational Outreach program can be found here: CSI Sponsorship of Educational Programs
