History

In 1976, the Industrial College of the Armed Forces and the National War College were brought into one joint educational institution when the National Defense University became a historic pooling of the defense community's intellectual resources. They were joined in 1981 by the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC) and in 1982 by the Department of Defense Computer Institute (DODCI). In 1988, DODCI was re-established and changed and became what is now the Information Resources Management College, commonly referred to as the iCollege (after a 2008 rebranding). Over the last 25+ years, the NDU iCollege has expanded its programs and offerings for all of government and has developed robust online programs.

Courses and Graduate Programs

Courses at the NDU iCollege are free (no tuition) for DOD military and civilians. Courses are also open to federal agency students, U.S. private sector students, and international students, although non-DOD students must pay tuition. Courses are offered in residence at the National Defense University campus on Fort Lesley J. McNair (Washington, DC waterfront) and online through the college's Distributed Learning (DL) program. Students must be at or above a GS-13 or officer level O-4 (equivalent mid-to-senior management level in the private sector) to apply for courses and must already possess a bachelor's degree from an accredited university. International students must work through their embassy and also pass an English language proficiency exam.

In addition to facilitating learning through courses and programs, the NDU iCollege responds to workforce learning needs of government organizations in areas corresponding with faculty competence. If agencies and other government organizations request tailored workshops, expert perspectives, and practical advice that aligns with the core competencies of the College and the courses offered, faculty may be deployed to work with agencies on a case-by-case basis.
NDU iCollege faculty members have backgrounds in the private sector, civilian government and defense, and academe, contributing a rich combination of experience and theory that enhances our learning environment. Although by mission the College is primarily a teaching college, faculty are active in many intellectual communities because scholarship is concomitant to good teaching.

Information and Cyber Labs

The NDU iCollege laboratories (iLabs) provide adaptable and customizable immersive learning environments designed to enhance iCollege learning outcomes, reproduce real-world scenarios, and provide a venue for innovative uses of emerging technologies to educate military and civilian senior leaders. The iLabs provide experiential, adult learning through flexible and mobile courses and workshops across the globe.

Cyber-Security and SCADA/Infrastructure Protection Labs: As a NSA-designated Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance/Cyber Education, the iCollege operates two cyber security labs addressing threats to information systems. The Cyber Attack/Defend Lab provides an environment to examine computer and network defense through exercises in intrusion techniques, mitigation, and forensics. The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Lab simulates realistic exploits and protections of various industrial control systems, such as electrical, oil, gas, water, and transportation grids.

Ci Center, or Center for Innovation: The newest iCollege lab is an "instructional ecosystem" that uses cutting-edge technologies, flexibly integrates the latest physical and technical elements, and enables access to multiple learning environments. It facilitates instructional methodologies and strategies that take advantage of "anywhere-anytime" capabilities. This is a unique and highly customizable instructional space that offers a complete range of physical and virtual interactions designed to facilitate learning across various realities.

Academic Partners

The NDU iCollege has more than 30 current NDU iCollege academic partners and continues to form academic partnerships with regionally accredited universities across the United States, signing Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with schools that are Centers of Academic Excellence (CAEs) in Information Assurance/Cyber Education and with universities whose programs align well with the iCollege's certificates. Graduates from the college's many certificate programs can apply to a number of partner institutions for completion of a Master's or Doctoral/PhD Degree. There are a multitude of degree choices for NDU iCollege graduates at the partner institutions.

Academic partners accept 9, 12, or 15 graduate semester credits depending on which certificate program and how many courses were completed at the NDU iCollege. After the iCollege reduced certificate requirements on July 1, 2014, students completing fewer courses under the new model typically receive a maximum of 12 transfer credits. Students still on the legacy program still receive the higher amount of credits. For example, students completing the CIO Certificate with 8 courses will receive 15 transfer credits, while students in the new CIO Certificate program who complete the now-required 6 courses receive 12 transfer credits.
