Advanced Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) Analyst Boot Camp (ABC)

It is the student's responsibility to alert APUS that s/he may fall under a current Internal Recommendation policy by emailing his/her Student ID and the name of the Internal Recommendation to articulations@apus.edu.

Eligibility:

Graduate students must be pursuing one of the following programs at the University (maximum semester hours of transfer credit from this internal policy):

  • Any graduate level degree program (6 SH)

Students may maximize transfer credit from this internal policy by pursuing one of the following programs:

  • Master of Arts in Homeland Security 
  • Master of Arts in Intelligence Studies 

Guidelines:

  • A student has met the terms of the agreement and is eligible for possible Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) review if they completed the Analyst Boot Camp (ABC) training through the Advanced Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and they have not yet had an Initial TCE completed.
  • If an Initial TCE has already been prepared and the student completed the ABC training through the ATIC after the official evaluation was completed, they can send in the updated paperwork.  A TCE Update Request Form must also be submitted to initiate the review process.
  • If a student changes their degree program, they are eligible for a review of their ATIC - ABC certificate for possible transfer credit.
  • If a student has already had an Initial TCE completed, their documentation has already been reviewed, and no additional paperwork is to be submitted, they are NOT eligible for this internal policy.

Students must send in a copy of their ABC certificate of training from the ATIC along with a TCE Application.  Documentation of successful completion may make a student eligible for the following transfer credit recommendations depending on their specific graduate degree program requirements:
