Secret Service Agent Jobs Require a Bachelor's Degree: Earn Your Bachelor’s Degree from Henley-Putnam University in Intelligence, Counterterrorism, or Protection.

U.S. Secret Service agent jobs are among the most competitive of all federal law enforcement agencies. The Secret Service is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and has over 150 field offices around the world. Established in 1865, the original mandate of the Secret Service was to combat counterfeiting – today, the U.S. Secret Service is responsible for criminal investigations as well as protecting the nation’s leaders.

There is no such thing as a typical Secret Service agent job. Secret Service Special Agents, for example, are dually tasked with protection and investigative responsibilities throughout their career and may be assigned anywhere in the world. Sound intriguing?

You must also possess a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree.
