Undersea Warfare Curriculum 525
The Undersea Warfare Curriculum educates
officers in the engineering fundamentals, physical principles and
analytical concepts that govern operational employment of
undersea warfare (USW) sensors and weapons. This
interdisciplinary program divides naturally into four major
academic areas, allowing the student to specialize in the area of
choice and to complete a Master of Science in Engineering
Acoustics (with emphasis on underwater acoustics and weapons
effects), Physical Oceanography (with emphasis on environmental
factors affecting acoustic surveillance), Electrical Engineering
(with emphasis on signal processing), Operations Research (with
emphasis on tactical applications and decision analysis), or in
other disciplines depending on the student's academic
background.
This curriculum is designed to allow the
student to meet all of the requirements for Navy PME (as
established by the Chief of Naval Operations) and for Joint PME
(as established by the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff) for
Intermediate Level Professional Military Education.
Undersea Warfare (International) Curriculum 526
A course of study modeled after curriculum
525 is available for international students. Further information
is available from the Program Officer or Academic
Associate.
Requirements for Entry
A baccalaureate degree, or equivalent, from a
program with a calculus sequence and a calculus-based physics
sequence that results in an APC of 323 is required for direct
input. Courses in the physical sciences and engineering are
desirable. Officers not meeting the academic requirements for
direct input enter the program via one or two quarters of
Engineering Science (Curriculum 460).
Undersea Warfare Subspecialty
Completion of this curriculum qualifies an
officer as an Undersea Warfare Subspecialist with a subspecialty
code of 6301P. The curriculum sponsors are N77 (Submarine
Warfare) and N75 (Expeditionary Warfare).
Typical Jobs in this
Subspecialty:
Naval Undersea Warfare Center
COMINEWARCOM
Naval Air Warfare Center
Submarine Development Squadron Twelve
Program Executive Offices
Patrol Wing Staffs
Carrier Group Staffs
Naval Air Systems Command
Naval Surface Warfare Development Group
OPNAV
Destroyer Squadron Staffs
Fleet Mine Warfare Training Center
Operational Test and Evaluation Force
Entry Dates
The Undersea Warfare curriculum is an
eight-quarter course of study with entry dates in April and
October. If further information is needed, contact the Academic
Associate or Program Officer.
