U.S. and selected international graduates earn Master of Arts degrees in National Security & Strategic Studies or Defense & Strategic Studies accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). The College educates and develops future leaders through the development of strategic perspective, critical thinking, and cultural awareness, as well as enhancing the capability to advise and eventually serve as senior leaders and policy makers. The College also helps to define the future Navy and its roles and missions; supports combat readiness; strengthens global maritime partnerships; and promotes ethics and leadership throughout the force. We are actively seeking candidates with diverse academic, demographic, and professional backgrounds. More information on the college can be found at www.usnwc.edu Center for Naval Warfare Studies The Center for Naval Warfare Studies (CNWS) is the primary research organization of the NWC. Faculty and staff produce a wide range of independent and sponsored unclassified and classified research and analysis on issues of war, peace, national security, regional security, and international law -- all with particular attention to issues related to naval warfare and the maritime domain. This research is, as appropriate, published and provided in various forms to the leadership and staffs of the Navy, the other services, the Department of Defense including the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff, other elements of the U.S. government, the defense establishments of allies and partners, and the broader national security community. The research also is infused into the curriculum at the College. Faculty and staff use a wide range of research and analytic methods. The goal is for research outputs to be integrated with one another and with other analytic endeavors within the Navy and across the Defense Department, the U.S. government, and broader academic and analytic communities. Wargaming is a significant component of the activities of CNWS and the foundational role of wargaming as part of the college's missions and curriculum. CNWS faculty also support the College curricula through teaching in the electives and distance education programs and providing wargaming design, execution, and other support for resident and distance students. CNWS consists of three departments and the Naval War College Press. These three departments are: (1) the Stockton Center for International Law (SCIL); (2) the Strategic and Operational Research Department (SORD); and (3) the War Gaming Department (WGD). Within SORD there are a number of institutes and advanced research programs: the China Maritime Studies Institute, Cyber and Innovation Policy Institute (with the Graveley Program), Russian Maritime Studies Institute, Brodie Group, Deterrence Studies Institute and the Halsey Alpha, Halsey Bravo, and Holloway Advanced Research Programs. Further information on these departments, their faculty, and their sub-entities can be found on the USNWC's website: https://usnwc.edu/ under Research and Wargaming and Faculty and Departments. CNWS faculty and staff are a mix of civilians with advanced degrees (most at the doctoral level), active duty and retired military officers and enlisted personnel, and civilian and contract support staff. Responsibilities The Dean, Center for Naval Warfare Studies, oversees the research work undertaken by its departments, faculty, and staff. As part of managing and shaping the research agenda, the Dean develops and expands a network of contacts within the naval, joint, and broader national security community.

The Dean leads and organizes innovative research approaches to the Navy's and the Nation's most significant national security challenges. The Dean creates and manages the CNWS budget, faculty, manpower and personnel issues, and the organization of CNWS departments. The Dean is part of the USNWC senior leadership team, reporting to the Provost, and in concert with the Provost and other senior leaders, advises the President, U.S. Naval War College, on policy, procedures, priorities, and resource issues that affect the mission of the College.
