The Master of Arts in St a t e c r a f t a n d Na ti o n a l Se c u r it y Af f a i r s his degree is designed for students currently in the defense, intelligence, or Tdiplomatic communities, or for those who wish to enter one of these ca- reer fields. It provides a comprehensive study of the theory and practice of national security policy, process, and implementation, both in historical and con- temporary perspectives. Significant attention is directed toward vital current policy issues as well as understanding foreign cultures and the actual practices of foreign powers. It involves study of the exercise of the entire spectrum of instruments of power, how they are integrated strategically, and the ethical issues inherent in their use.

REQUIREMENTS Candidates for this degree are required to complete a minimum of 52 credit hours of coursework: 36 hours in the Core Curriculum and 16 credit hours in a specializa- tion. Students may also be required to enroll in a research and writing seminar, but it is not counted toward the 52 credit minimum required for the degree.

After successful completion of all coursework, each student will be required to pass a one-hour oral examination and a three-hour written comprehensive examination.
