OVERVIEW
The Naval War College has been accredited by the New England Association of Schools
and Colleges (NEASC) since 1 March 1984. Beginning in the fall of 2001, the Masters
Degree Accreditation was extended to the Fleet Seminar Program in the National Capital
Region. Today, students at all certified sites are be able to earn a Master
of Arts in National Security and Strategic Studies degree from the Naval War College.
To achieve this, students must be admitted into the Graduate Degree Program, successfully
complete the three core courses, and complete an additional nine graduate credit-hours
in one of a number of NWC-approved Areas of Study. For more details on this program,
please review the Fleet Seminar Graduate
Degree Program Guide.
(PLEASE NOTE: While still substantially accurate, this version of the Program
Guide is somewhat dated. A new version is currently under review. Major changes
that have taken place include: 1) The elimination of the Capstone requirement;
2) The increase in credit hours granted, from 6 to 7, for the JMO core course.
As a result of this change completion of all three core courses grants a student
21 semester hours, from the previous 20, towards their MA; The addition of the
Area of Study requirement for students admitted to the GDP after 1 Sept 2006.
