Other Academic Opportunities

Conferences & Symposia

Our wide variety of newsworthy lectures, symposia, and conferences give students the opportunity for stimulating encounters with contemporary military, political, and cultural leaders from both the professional and academic communities.

Individual Regional & Specialized Projects

We offer students unique opportunities to conduct advanced research projects or contribute to enhanced understanding of a geographic region through mentored, individual research. Exceptionally-qualified students may take individual research projects in place of a required elective. These full-time research programs, supervised by faculty advisors with expertise in the areas studied, involve group work, individual study, faculty collaboration, wargaming, workshops, and even research trips.
