Naval War College 5.62

The U.S. Naval War College started 125 years ago as a small institution with mostly
summer courses. It has evolved into a one-year, resident program that graduates about 600 students a year and a robust distance program that graduates about
1,000 students a year. Students earn Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) credit and either a diploma or a master’s degree in National Security and Strategic Studies.

Established in 1884, the U.S. Naval War College is the oldest institution of its kind in the world. More than 50,000 students have graduated since its first class of 9 students in 1885 and over 160 of today’s active-duty admirals and generals are alumni. The College currently employs over 600 dedicated staff and faculty, and contributes over $100 million per year to the local economy.
