Educating for Evolving Operational Domains

📖 The Scoop

The Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act directed the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide a report on plans for closing the College of Information and Cyberspace (CIC) at the National Defense University and addressing the broader needs in the department for the types of education the college provided. DoD provided a response in April 2021 that outlined the original options considered for the college but deferred questions regarding the role for CIC and the department's needs for cyberspace and information education for a follow-on study that RAND's National Defense Research Institute conducted. This report examines how DoD educational institutions operating at the graduate level, including CIC, are currently addressing cyberspace and information education in their curricula, the potential demand across the department for this education, and how CIC can contribute to fulfilling this demand, as well as what role it should play more broadly in supporting other DoD educational institutions and DoD components.
