Naval Postgraduate School – Distance Learning – NS 4000 Great Power Competition Lecture Series – Opportunity starting January 2024
1. This message announces application procedures for the Naval Postgraduate School January 2024 distance learning NS 4000 Great Power Competition Lecture Series. 2. Background:
a. NS 4000 Great Power Competition Lecture Series supports Navy and DoD defense educational needs and provides cross-disciplinary education in both Global Security and Strategic Competition.
b. With the rise of China and the return of Russia to near-peer military status with the United States, the topic of renewed Great Power Competition (GPC) has moved to the forefront of U.S. defense concerns, supplanting our post-9/11 focus on the Global War on Terrorism. In 2019, in response to a request from N3/N5, the Department of National Security Affairs at NPS created a first-of-its-kind GPC overview course to educate NPS students and interested faculty and staff about critical challenges posed by China and Russia.
c. Through this lecture series students will be able to understand the nature of great power competition historically and its current manifestations. Including the core motivations behind Chinese and Russian political, economic, and military policies, as well as the challenges they pose to the United States. As well as understanding the tools China and Russia use to further their interests in various regions of the world outside their borders and in critical competitive domains, such as cyberspace. And because of this, understand the range of possible U.S. and allied responses to Chinese and Russian behavior.
3. Tuition: NPS is mission-funded to provide tuition-free graduate education to full-time active-duty Navy and Marine Corps personnel. Seats not filled by active-duty Navy and Marine Corps personnel will be made available for open enrollment to other uniformed officers, Department of the Navy and other federal government civilians, and defense contractor civilians under tuition sponsorship by their organization or agency. The open enrollment tuition for other-service military, government civilians, and defense contractors is $650. NPS is required to have a support agreement (DON form 7600A or DD1144) in place with each government funding sponsor before acceptance of funding documents. All students are required to purchase their textbooks
