History

It was named to honor American Revolutionary War intelligence officers Colonel David Henley and General Israel Putnam. Each personified a different approach to the practice of espionage. Henley, contemplative and precise, specialized in organizing streams of raw data and extrapolating from this mass of facts and figures the true condition of the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses. Putnam, conversely, focused on acquiring intelligence through the active use of agents, debriefing deserters, and interrogating prisoners.[3][4]

Acquisition by National American University Holdings

National American University purchased Henley-Putnam University on July 21, 2017.[5] As of March 21, 2018, National American University (NAU) transferred all of Henley-Putnam University's (H-PU) programs and curriculum to NAU, and changed the name of H-PU to Henley-Putnam's School of Strategic Security.[6]

Academics

The school has a curriculum offering more than 150 courses among six bachelor's and master's degree programs, a doctorate program, and certificates in seven subject areas. Its faculty comes from military, law enforcement, the counter-terrorism community and the intelligence community with an emphasis on "real world experience".[7][8]
