Update: DSCU has posted all course offerings currently available for FY21 on the Class Schedule Page. These classes are now open or registration through the end of the FY. All courses are listed as virtual. However, if conditions allow and it is in the best interest to transition a course from virtual to in-person, we will make applicable changes to the course/registration page in enough time for both DSCU and potential students to easily facilitate travel as required. Also note that if POE and/or CASE courses transition from virtual to in-person, these classes will be one week of full day classes rather than the two weeks normally spent in the virtual environment. This update is provided for organizational and personal planning purposes. Specifics for each course will be available on the course information page. We will also push updates out to organization POCs as well.
Exceptions to the above are the MoDA certification courses, the Strategic Advisors Course (SAC) and Country/Mission Study (CMS), which are planned to be conducted in person at an isolated location with limited student numbers and health protection measures including masking, social distancing, and health monitoring. Information on the availability of seats for open registration will be posted in the near future.
Please read the course information page thoroughly to understand the time commitment, and the level of effort required for course completion. Moving to the virtual environment did not ease the course completion requirements, instead, this approach is more directive to ensure the accomplishment of the course learning objectives. Note to supervisors: We are requesting you provide the time and environment required for student participation in classes, without the expectation of accomplishing normal duties.

We bid a fond farewell to our Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) President, Ms. Cara Abercrombie. Ms. Abercrombie first joined the Defense Security Cooperation Agency in 2018 and became DSCU’s first President when it was established in September 2019. During her tenure leading DSCU, the university registered approximately 18,000 security cooperation personnel for online classes, developed 26 new courses, and rapidly transitioned 20 courses to virtual learning platforms in response to the challenges of the global COVID-19 pandemic. We honor President Abercrombie for her service and visionary leadership of the Defense Security Cooperation University. With deepest thanks and appreciation, we wish her success in her future endeavors!
Mr. David Sobyra, DSCU Provost, has assumed responsibilities as the Acting President of DSCU.
