History

The original university was conceived and founded by Nirmalya Bhowmick, with co-founders Michael Corcoran and Sheldon Greaves.

The school was named to honor American Revolutionary War intelligence officers Colonel David Henley and General Israel Putnam, each of whom personified a different approach to the practice of espionage. Henley, contemplative and precise, specialized in organizing streams of raw data and extrapolating from it an enemy’s strengths and weaknesses. Putnam focused on acquiring intelligence through the active use of agents, debriefing deserters, and interrogating prisoners. [3] [4]

In July 2006, Liberty Capital Partners, a private equity firm, acquired Henley-Putnam. [5]

Henley-Putnam's enrollment grew from 125 students in 2008 to 515 students by the summer of 2010. [6]

Acquisition by National American University Holdings

National American University purchased Henley-Putnam University on July 21, 2017. [7] [8]

Academics

The school has a curriculum of more than 150 courses, with six bachelor's and master's degree programs, a doctorate program, and certificates in seven subject areas. Its faculty comes from the military, law enforcement, and the counterterrorism and intelligence communities, with an emphasis on "real world experience". [9] [10]
