Enriching the Curriculum
Preparing for the future often means exploring where we’ve been; many of our core and foundation courses cover crucial aspects of military history. NWC also offers an array of electives, which change from term to term, many of which take a deeper dive into the past. For example, you may find classes that focus on the American Civil War or the life of George Washington.

Naval War College and Regional History
Founded in 1884, Naval War College has a rich history.
