The management of United States Army War College Admission has released the list of Graduate requirements for admission into the institution.
United States Army War College Graduate Admission & Requirements
Applicants must be a United States federal employee (civilian or military) and possess a bachelor’s degree to enroll in the program. Applicants who are USG civilians in a grade equivalent to GS 12-14 and Service Members in the grades of O4-5, CW3-5, E8-9 are given preference. Others may apply if they are in a mid-grade national security position as determined by the Admissions Committee. Until the program reaches full capability, the number of applicants selected will be limited due to resource constraints.
Requirements to Earn the Certificate in NSS:
Students must successfully complete four eight-week “core” courses (2 credits each) and one 2-credit hour elective course chosen from a wide variety of disciplines. Instructional modality is distance and courses can be a mix of asynchronous and synchronous delivery. The courses reinforce each other but remain independent so they can be taken in any sequence. Students can enroll in the program with intent to take one course or complete all courses to earn the Certificate in NSS. Elective courses provide students the opportunity to choose an area that interests them and/or advances their professional knowledge on a specific topic.
Student Effort and Expectations:
Students are expected to dedicate an average of 8-12 hours per week towards studies while courses are in session. This may vary week to week based on course material and faculty instructor expectations, but each course requires about 90 hours of total student effort in eight weeks. Course requirements typically include assigned readings, online blogs and journals, short papers, quizzes, video presentations, asynchronous group projects, and occasional synchronous classes. Faculty assess students on their ability to achieve course learning outcomes and provide graded feedback for specific requirements that enable students to demonstrate an understanding of course concepts.
