1. Is this a degree program for military officers?
Yes, but it is certainly not exclusively for military personnel. The KSU M.A. and Ph.D. degree programs in Security Studies were initiated partly with Defense Department funds appropriated for the goal of broadening the spectrum of U.S. Army officer education. Many of the features of the program were designed to accommodate students and faculty at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. However, the program is open to all who are academically qualified, and current students include many without current or prior military service.
