In this competitive strategic security job market, job-seekers need to go above and beyond to secure specific, highly-demanding jobs. Individuals interested in a career in the protective agent arena, which includes U.S. Secret Service Special Agents, State Department protective agents, military units with protective agents, or even state run executive protection details, can benefit from coursework in protection management. This article focuses specifically upon how coursework in protection management could provide students with a competitive advantage when applying for any of these careers.
What is a Secret Service Special Agent?
U.S. Secret Service agent jobs are among the most competitive of all federal law enforcement agencies. The Secret Service is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and has over 150 field offices around the world. Established in 1865, the original mandate of the Secret Service was to combat counterfeiting – today, the U.S. Secret Service is responsible for criminal investigations as well as protecting the nation’s leaders.
There is no such thing as a typical Secret Service agent job. Secret Service Special Agents, for example, are dually tasked with protection and investigative responsibilities throughout their career and may be assigned anywhere in the world. To become a Secret Service Special Agent, you must be at least 21 years of age and undergo a thorough background investigation, including a polygraph, to ensure that only the most honorable candidates are granted the privilege to serve and protect the national security interest of the United States. You must also possess a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree.
What is protection management and what benefit does it serve interested students?
Programs in protection management increase student’s knowledge of operations in the security industry and in providing protective services to clients, their property and/or their information. These programs often emphasize professionalism, proactive strategies, and the benefits of lifetime learning, safety and preparedness. They also unite proven successful management practices with proven methods for meeting a wide variety of security and protective services to individuals and businesses.
Protection management programs may enable students to have a competitive advantage when applying for protection careers for a number of reasons. Often former agents teach protection management and therefore, students benefit from the breadth of experience of these former agents. Protection management coursework also teaches students skills necessary to be successful in a protective capacity. Students learn how to conduct protective operations, develop plans for surveillance and other means of collecting intelligence, plan and conduct advances, and develop and implement procedures for clients facing threats – all skills vital for a career as a Secret Service Special Agent.
Working in the protection and security industry is both challenging and rewarding – agents are on the cutting-edge of providing a critical service that requires personal sacrifice, discipline, and the unique ability to foresee emerging risks before they become a reality. While one cannot be guaranteed a job as a Secret Service Special Agent upon completing coursework in protection management, this work will prepare students to be successful in the strategic security field. Such programs provide solid, real-world coursework for individuals interested in either career advancement or a complete career change.

The First Emperor of Mexico's regime was the first attempt at a Spain-free governing structure, and it failed fairly quickly. His reign had lasted roughly ten months before collapsing, and while it didn't accomplish a great deal in terms of infrastructure, it marked the true start of the divide between the centrist conservative and the democratic liberal political parties. - The Battle Of Puebla And Cinco De Mayo (Robert Nickel)
Why does the United States celebrate every May 5, or Cinco de Mayo? It's only a regional holiday in Mexico, and is often mistaken to be the commemoration of their Independence Day (which is actually in September). The roots of these festivities go back to the French invasion in 1862, and a decisive initial victory against Napoleon III's forces. - The Incredible Work of Benito Juarez (Robert Nickel)
A great deal of Mexico's liberal reforms in the 19th century - the separation of church and state, the proclamation of all citizens as equal in the eyes of the law and the establishment of a market-driven social system, among other things, would not have been possible without the leadership of Benito Juarez. Once an illiterate shepherd, this Zapotec native rose to become a lawyer and eventually ended up involved in some of the most important... - Gift Giving: The Pet Lover (Claire Dimmit)
If you are being frustrated by trying to find the perfect gift for the animal lover in your life, you should not give up. Here are a few ideas that can spur your imagination enabling you to find the perfect gift. - How Maximilian I Became Emperor Of Mexico (Robert Nickel)
It might not be a commonly known fact, but Mexico was, at two separate points, a monarchy; each reign lasted less than five years and was filled with revolts, infighting, and puppet rulers. The first Mexican Empire took place shortly after the country won its independence from Spain in 1821, but collapsed less than eight months after its establishment. The second attempt was the result of Napoleon III's invasion in 1862... - All About the Reform Wars (Robert Nickel)
In the years following Mexico's War of Independence, a question arose among the newly freed citizens as to how the newly free nation should be governed. Two ideologies emerged: the liberals wished to establish a democratic, secular government with a constitution similar to that of the United States of America... - Who Was Empress Carlota? (Robert Nickel)
For a very brief period of time in Mexico's long and turbulent history, they were ruled by Emperor Maximilian I and his consort, Empress Carlota. This regime was doomed to end in a bloody manner almost from the start, as they had been crowned after an invasion by France and were stuck in between an unfairly deposed liberal party and the conservative conspirators who disliked their practices.
