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 the 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

Program Director Dr. James Y. Simms, Jr. accepts

"The new military leadership and national security studies program
will complement and extend existing leadership education
at Hampden-Sydney College. The program will broaden our reach
from non-profit and governmental areas to the military
and national security arena. We believe that this will make
our graduates better able to understand and meet
the serious challenges of the 21st Century."
