Military Studies Online Master's Degree

 

The Master of Arts in Military Studies has recently been designed to allow students to choose an area of concentration in a field of study that best suits their professional aspirations and interests. This program ensures that students will learn about the "big picture" through exposure to strategic and operational perspectives, while allowing students to tailor graduate study to individual needs.

The major ensures that you will learn about the "big picture" through exposure to two concentrations in Joint Warfare and Strategic Leadership. Graduates of this program typically go on to serve in government or military occupations, write articles and/or books, and/or pursue the doctorate in a related field.

Available Concentrations

  • Joint Warfare
  • Strategic Leadership
