10. Is it possible to complete the M.A. degree in one calendar year?
Yes. Whether or not a student completes the program in a year (or possibly less) depends on several factors, such as the number of transfer credit hours accepted at admission and whether the student has full-time or part-time student status. Students at the Command and General Staff College increase the likelihood of finishing their degree with a year of study by taking POLSC or HIST 812 “Foundations of Security Studies,” one of the master’s core courses, before they arrive at Leavenworth.
