Defense Security Cooperation University Information

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) established the Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) in response to 2017 legislation. DSCU’s mission is to advance the knowledge and practice of Security Cooperation through the education, training, and development of the U.S. Security Cooperation workforce and through the education, training, and institutional capacity building of partner nations; and to produce research, analysis, and lessons learned that expand the intellectual foundations of Security Cooperation. DSCU strives to be the center of intellectual life for the Security Cooperation enterprise; we prepare a global network of professionals to achieve outcomes that enhance the security of the United States and its partners and allies. DSCU is a team of teams. Our geographically separated and cross-functional components work in concert to create synergies that benefit students, strategic partners, and the National Defense Strategy. In collaboration with the rest of DSCA, the University plans for and responds to the real-world challenges and requirements of those we serve.
