The MA in Stabilization and Reconstruction is a 15 month, interdisciplinary degree offered through the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School. The program is designed to prepare future leaders with expertise in the field of stabilization and reconstruction and is based on a very simple premise: that we should educate the way we execute. This means that we need to address politics and development as well as combat and counter-insurgency. It means that we need to engage civil society as well as military actors.
The program invites the participation of national and governmental civilians and military officers from around the world. In addition, we are working toward the enrollment of students from the United Nations, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations who are interested in the areas of post-conflict security building and peace operations.
In short, this program is designed to help the United States and its allies win and maintain the peace long after their military forces have returned home. The program will accomplish its purpose by providing the specialized expertise, problem-solving skills, and management tools required by civilians and military officers (U.S. and international) operating in insecure environments.
