MSECUR - Security Studies (MA)

The graduate program in Security Studies is a rigorous, interdisciplinary, and professionally-oriented program of graduate studies. The resulting degree provides a broad, analytical perspective on national and international security issues while maintaining academic standards in accord with existing MA degrees in History and Political Science. Coursework concentrates on issues of strategy, politics, economics, and society from both historical and social science perspectives. A minimum of 30 credits is required.

Committees

Each student will be supervised by a master's committee consisting of three members of the Security Studies graduate faculty. As in any graduate program, adjunct professors are eligible to serve on committees. For students at Fort Leavenworth, the MA committee will normally be made up of the Director of Security Studies and the two faculty members teaching POLSC 810 / POLSC 815.
