“There is a popular beliefthat the great military figuresof the past achieved theirplace in history solely bytheir mastery of the art ofwar and their abilities asleaders. While they allpossessed these essentialattributes, they also had incommon much more thanthat: a knowledge of militaryhistory, an understanding ofthe complex dynamics ofcompeting internationalinterests, economics, politics,and diplomacy; and of waras an instrument of nationalpolicy. The Master of Arts inDiplomacy and MilitaryStudies offered by Hawai‘iPacific University providesmilitary officers an exceptional opportunity forgraduate-level study. A solidcurriculum and outstandingfaculty ensure thecontinuation of HPU’stradition of service toprofessional militaryeducation.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed myclasses and the facultymembers who taught courses in the MA/DMSprogram.

In addition, theclasses are taught bygenerals, diplomats, andacademics, all of whom areleaders and experts in theirrespective fields or aremodern day practitioners.”

Admiral Walter F. Doran, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and Hawai‘i Pacific University President Wrightare pictured at the signing ceremony held in Honolulu. The agreement makes HPU the first university in

the U.S. to establish a bilateral articulation agreement with the 120-year-old Naval War College.

Hawai'i Pacific University has two formal articulation agreements with other institutions that allow for transfer credit.The first is a bilateral agreement with the United States Naval War College. Under the terms of the articulation,graduates of the Naval War College Seminar Program will transfer 18 credits into the MA/DMS program - 9 creditstowards both the military/diplomatic history and supporting electives. Students wishing to matriculate in the NavalWar College's graduate program can take up to 9 semester hours of pre-approved courses at Hawai'i PacificUniversity and have these courses transfer into the Naval War College program. As part of the articulation agreement,pre-approved Hawai'i Pacific University's MA/DMS courses count for credit in the Naval War College program inNational Security and Strategic Studies. The second agreement is with the Joint Forces Staff College. Graduates of thatprogram will receive 18 credits towards the MA/DMS program - nine credits are applied to both themilitary/diplomatic history and supporting electives.

It is also possible for students in the United States Marine Corps University and military colleges (e.g., the U.S. ArmyCommand and General Staff College) to earn up to 18 credits towards the MA/DMS program for their graduate-levelwork. Other students with graduate credits, such as the U.S. Naval War College Correspondence Program or civilianinstitutions, will have transfer credits evaluated on an individual case basis.

In the course of thiscentury, as in centuriespast, diplomacy and themilitary have often playeda pivotal role insignificant political,social, and economicdevelopments. It is,therefore, advantageousfor the leaders of thefuture to have a solidunderstanding of the rolediplomacy and themilitary play in politicsand society.

“The Master of Arts inDiplomacy and MilitaryStudies is a truly uniquedegree in that it combinesdiplomatic and military history, political science,and other disciplines in thehumanities and social sciences to investigate therelationship of the state, themilitary, and the individual.For the professional militaryofficer, this degree provideshistorical and contemporaryperspectives on the role andapplication of military force.Moreover, the MA/DMS isalso very useful to civilianstudents who wish to pursuea doctoral program. I amsure that students will findthe program bothchallenging andrewarding.”

“In the post-Cold Warperiod, our military forceshave entered a chaotic andconfusing time when, inmany situations, there areno clear lines drawnbetween friends andenemies. It will becommon for a military unitto find itself in a foreigncity engaged inhumanitarian assistanceon one block, patrollingagainst a fleeting guerrillaforce on the next block,and then engaged in anintense battle against asophisticated enemypossessing modernweapons three blocksaway. It would certainlyhelp the military leaders inthese situations to have anunderstanding of thecomplex relationships withwhich they are involved.The Master of Arts inDiplomacy and MilitaryStudies offered by Hawai‘iPacific University is tailor-made to help preparemilitary leaders to copewith the complex military,social, and politicalsituations that they arelikely to find themselves intoday’s world. It has myhighest recommendation toanyone with careermilitary service in mind.”
