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.

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.
