The U.S. Naval War College

The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) is a Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) institution serving the nation, the Department of War (DOW), and the U.S. Navy. U.S. and selected international graduates earn Master of Arts degrees in National Security & Strategic Studies or Defense & Strategic Studies accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). The College educates tomorrow's leaders, informs today's decision-makers, and engages with allies and partners on all matters of naval power in order to preserve the peace, respond in crisis, and win decisively in war. We are actively seeking candidates with varied academic and professional backgrounds. More information on the college can be found at www.usnwc.edu.

Maritime Advanced Warfighting School (MAWS)

MAWS educates and develops a select group of future leaders to serve as operational planners who think critically and creatively, understand and apply maritime and joint warfare theory and doctrine, solve complex problems, lead the design of campaigns and major operations, and advise 3- and 4-star commanders in making sound decisions to achieve strategic military objectives. The course is an intensive, immersive 13-month program, which runs concurrently with the Naval War College's Naval Command and Staff College graduate education. Graduates are prepared to fill key warfare and joint leadership positions throughout their careers. Although the primary instructional forum is the graduate seminar that facilitates maximum interaction between students and faculty, MAWS also uses additional methodologies including practical application, case studies, and guest speakers with experience leading at the operational level of war.
