Since he was a kid, Trevor Kostolny (’19) had dreams of working for a three-letter agency.

The Tucson, Arizona, native had been considering other criminal justice programs and was thrilled when he came across a one-of-a-kind intelligence program at Embry‑Riddle’s Prescott Campus.

He found that the Global Security and Intelligence Studies program featured not only a unique blend of counterterrorism, law and other concepts but a close-knit learning environment and highly experienced faculty dedicated to his success.

“That one-on-one interaction with professors is what really brought me here,” Kostolny said. “That whole community feeling where everyone can come together and share their broad knowledge.”

Thanks to Embry‑Riddle, Kostolny achieved his dreams of joining the intel community and is now an executive protection agent in Seattle, Washington.
