The National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security designated Northeast as one of 16 new centers over the past year, bringing to 79 the number of two-year colleges in the United States with the CAE2Y designation. “This designation recognizes the entire College for its security program and its curriculum in producing professionals who will enter the workforce with the training and expertise that is necessary to help protect our nation’s information infrastructure,” Vogt said.
