Partnerships

DCAA

Potomac College is part of the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) “Adopt-A-School Program.”  It’s an opportunity for DCAA representatives to visit the College during the year and recruit students to work at DCAA.  In return, Potomac College accounting students may periodically be joined by guest Lecturers from the DCAA in their classes.  The partnership is another value-added benefit for our Potomac College accounting students.

Potomac College is proud to announce that it is an authorized educational provider for (ISC)2®, “an internationally-recognized gold standard in information security.”  Potomac College offers both the CISSP I & II courses leading to certification, and we are a testing site for the CAP, CISSP, and SSCP Exams.   For more information on the specific course descriptions and course offering dates, please visit Certificate Programs.

Triway Enterprise, Inc located in Arlington, VA., hosts many delegations of professional business men and women from across China.  These business affiliates come to the USA to learn more about specific subject areas and their practical applications.  Potomac College provides lectures and programs for these groups upon request.  During 2007, the College hosted several delegations from Shanghai, Yunan, and Hubei (just to mention a few) and shared our faculty’s knowledge in many academic areas including finance, banking, project management, and human resource management and information technology.
