NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University School of Professional Advancement and ASIS International, a global community of security practitioners, are partnering to allow professionals accredited through ASIS to earn their continuing professional education credits at Tulane SoPA. The new ASIS International Preferred CPE Provider Program gives accredited professionals the opportunity to meet and maintain ASIS accreditation while pursuing academic certificates that can be stacked towards master’s degree credit hours.
The ASIS Preferred CPE Provider Program allows Tulane SoPA the opportunity to award pre-approved continuing professional education credits for their security or cybersecurity-related continuing education offerings – and helps ASIS-certified security professionals easily identify non-ASIS activities that qualify toward their recertification CPEs.
“This partnership allows ASIS-certified professionals to continue their commitment to excellence, professional growth, and a code of conduct while adding the knowledge and theory that a top U.S. University can offer,” says Ralph Russo, information technology program director and professor of practice at Tulane SoPA. “The collaboration of ASIS and Tulane SoPA allows ASIS members to gain University security/cybersecurity certificates and degrees while also meeting their ASIS CPE requirements.”
The ASIS Preferred CPE Provider Program assists ASIS-certified security professionals to earn recertification CPEs while simultaneously earning graduate-level academic course credits (and an academic graduate certificate).
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, cybersecurity jobs will increase 26 percent by the year 2022.
