Hawaii
Pacific Univesity - Diplomacy
and Military Studies (学）
The Military Studies major at Hawai'i Pacific
University is designed to provide students with a solid foundation
in the fields of historical and political studies and their
various approaches and methodologies in order to understand
better the role of the military as an institution within society.
The program of study is constructed to give students historical,
ethical, and practical perspectives on military affairs. Students
enrolled in the program take a variety of courses that provide
a broad context both in terms of chronology and geography. The
B.S. in Military Studies develops the skills, base of knowledge,
and moral awareness that will serve as preparation for a career
as a leader, whether in today’s military or in the private sector.
Those same skills and knowledge base, however, are also useful
in pursuing a graduate degree in history, political science,
international relations, or law.
