The only intelligence degree that has any real meaning is one from the National Defense Intelligence College. You have to be military or a fed to even get in.
The only civilian intelligence designation that means anything is the SCIP CIP offered through the Fuld Gilad Herring Academy of Competitive Intelligence (ACI). There's a few others out there (e.g., ICI) but they have little weight to insiders. The CIP has far more real world value than anything you can get at APUS.
AMU/APUS offers nothing remotely similar to either one of these. Anybody thinking of taking an intelligence program there ought to make a go-around instead. If you are in such a program there, drop it unless you are close to graduating.
