*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
We live in a world that values continuing education. Thomas Friedman�s book �The World is Flat� identified and grouped individuals that would be successful in the era of globalization into four groups: �Special, Specialized, Anchored, and Adaptable� Individuals that were �Special� were those likely identified as celebrities, political, or religious leaders. Those within the �Specialized� group have within their ranks individuals such as scientists, researchers, and engineers whose expertise is in high demand. Those categorized in the �Anchored� category were described as plumbers, carpenters, mechanics, and other career fields that a community or society would require to maintain a certain standard of living. These �Anchored� individuals perform services that are �hands-on� and could not be outsourced to other locations or individuals. The final category, �Adaptable,� is the category for individuals in career fields that require continuous education as these individuals must adopt new skills to stay competitive in a globalized environment. Professional career fields such as project management, law, business, and strategic security fall into this category.

Individuals within the Strategic Security community working in occupations such as an intelligence agency analyst, an executive protection professional, or a counter terrorism specialist must pursue continuing education opportunities to stay competitive in this �adaptable� career field. One way to remain competitive is by enrolling in a strategic security course or two, such as a counter-terrorism training course, to stay current in their field or to learn to implement new skills.

Which strategic security course should one in such an �adaptable� career field enroll? And where would one find an institution to enroll in a strategic security course that would teach him or her new skills to maintain competitiveness in their career field? With the focus of American defense strategy on countering terrorism, enrollment in a counter-terrorism training course may be the best choice for strategic security professionals. As it turns out, colleges and universities offer courses in strategic security, where one can take a counter-terrorism training course, or a course in executive protection or intelligence analysis to hone professional skills.

Due to the meteoric rise in online education over the past decade, there are colleges and universities that offer such courses online. Students can complete the course curriculum via scheduled correspondence, thereby providing a tremendous benefit for the individual with family commitments or for the person who is forward deployed as a member of one of the armed services. Flexibility is one of the key benefits of online education today. Accrediting bodies such as the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) nationally accredit many of these colleges and universities. They are recognized by government entities and employers alike as adding value and as schools where strategic security professionals can continue their education in order to stay relevant in an �adaptable� career field and to learn new analytic skills sets and counter-terrorism theories. Another added benefit of these schools is that one can often use tuition assistance offered by employers or the military or finance their education directly with the school via a payment plan to fund their continuous education and continue to enhance their professional skills and knowledge.
