The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) has introduced a new course that focuses on the current global security challenges faced by the international community.
The course, titled “Perspects on Modern War,” will provide students with a theoretical framework to analyze the evolving character of modern warfare and develop practical solutions for current and future global security challenges.
“This course is part of the overarching push to make NWC’s educational processes and programs more agile and responsive to the needs of the joint warfighter regarding the conduct of war in the contemporary and near-future strategic environment,” said Daniel R. Post, Ph. D., NWC professor and PMW co-director.
Developed as part of NWC’s academic year 2024-2025, the course will feature three dedicated seminar days and two symposium days per trimester, requiring students to complete four written assignments.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive two credit hours toward their master’s degree requirements. The program is also open to students from the U.S. military, civilian employees of the U.S. federal government, and international military officers from 46 partner and Allied nations.
“Skilled leadership is the cornerstone of one’s ability to coordinate the elements of national power in the development and implementation of effective warfighting strategies,” said Cmdr. Brian Young, professor at NWC and PMW director. “This course provides an agile platform through which students can leverage course components to effect critical analysis of the most important challenges to leadership in modern war.”
NWC is the oldest institution of its kind in the world and offers academic programs focused on naval power.
