The program is designed for students who are interested in the historical, political and ethical dimensions of national security policy as well as the place and role of the military in American society.
"The aim of this interdisciplinary program is to prepare students to think about military action and national security policy in the context of constitutional principles, inter- and intra-governmental relationships, social and cultural constraints, and competing views of ethical human behavior." - Dr. David E. Marion, Wilson Center Director
