Masters Program for Active Duty SOF members
SB APPROVED
The following is an article being circulated within ARSOF. I spoke with program director and he has asked that this information get widest dissemination. All active duty SOF (all branches) are eligible as long as you meet the prereqs stated in the information article. Any questions PM me and I can assist or point you in the right direction. -KW3 The United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School has agreed to continue its partnership with the National Defense University, College of International Security Affairs (CISA) Fort Bragg for 2011-2012 academic year. The USAJFKSWCS has partnered with the National Defense University (NDU) to offer a fully accredited Master of Arts Degree program at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The Masters of Arts Degree program mirrors the Master of Arts in Strategic Security Studies (MASSS) degree offered by NDU’s College of International Security Affairs to students enrolled in the 10-month full time program from US departments and agencies, congressional staffs, and military and civilian representatives of the international community who operate in the Washington DC area. The MASSS curriculum offers a strategic perspective on the global threat environment, the rise of newly empowered and politicized ideological movements, the relationship between political objectives, strategy, all instruments of national power, and the roles of power and ideology. Through seminar participation, independent study, and the research and writing of a thesis, students develop strategies for working with other agencies, with the United States, and with members of the international coalition. Through a combination of theoretical and practical learning, the program prepares professionals to develop and implement national and international security strategies for conditions of peace, crisis, and war. Students who complete the MASSS degree should be able to meet the following Learning Objectives: (1) Analyze the 21st century geopolitical environment characterized by the rise of non-state armed groups and the uneven erosion of state sovereignty; (2) Evaluate the roles of power and ideology, the rise of newly empowered and politicized ideological movements, and the bases for authority and legitimacy; (3) Understand the relationship between political objectives, strategy, and all instruments of national power; (4) Develop skills to think critically and strategically, to differentiate between policy and analysis, and to apply knowledge to practice in collaborative and complex circumstances with diverse partners. The joint USAJFKSWCS/NDU Masters Program is open to all Special Operations branches and all enlisted, warrant and commissioned officers with a Bachelors Degree from a regionally accredited institution. The Directorate of Regional Studies and Education at SWCS is the point of contact for selection and accession for the Masters Program. For more information call 910-432-4607.

I am not in the program, I have 2 Soldiers that are. Demanding???, they say yes. Define 'demanding'???? SF guys with focus and goal don't let 'demands' from them kicking some ass in a course. Contact the number if you're interested. PM me and I can get a link up set up with one of my Soldiers but follow USSFPA's instructions before proceeding with a PM. I'll coordinate link up if you are serious. I don't want to bother them when they can be studying/researching.

You are an "operator" that wants to get an advanced degree..... Hmm
OK, reread the email you received to join SOCNET and there are some pretty clear instructions on how to post your introduction. You can PM me if you need more help. Welcome to SOCNET.

Before you do anything else, remove the term "Operator" from your profile. Unless you are a graduate of a specific course, you are not entitled to use that term on this site.
The culture and climate of this site may strike you as inhospitable. We are not for everybody.

In a world where that term is thrown around like a wet towel. Thank you, Sharky, for holding the standard.
