Advanced Research

The Advanced Research Program provides selected students at the Naval War College an opportunity to undertake an extensive Advanced Research Project (ARP) during their period of residence in Newport. Suitably qualified students may apply to undertake such a project in any trimester in lieu of one of the core courses of the Naval War College curriculum, under the guidance of a member of the teaching or research faculty of the college. Project proposals are formally reviewed by a committee of the faculty and approved by the President of the college. The product of an Advanced Research Project is a substantial, thesis-style paper of original research, which is graded as the equivalent of the core course it replaces.
