Beyond the MMAS: Expanded Degree Authority For CGSC

The Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417, October 14, 2008) provided expanded degree authority for a number of the professional military education colleges and schools. This act modified the applicable sections of Title 10, U.S. Code with identical language for each of the colleges and universities.

· National Defense Intelligence College (10 USC § 2161)
· National Defense University (10 USC § 2163)
· United States Army Command and General Staff College (10 USC § 4314)
· United States Army War College (10 USC § 4321)
· United States Naval Postgraduate School (10 USC § 7048)
· Naval War College (10 USC § 7101)
· Marine Corps University (10 USC § 7102)
· United States Air Force Institute of Technology (10 USC § 9314)
· Air University (10 USC § 9317)
For the United States Army Command and General Staff College, the previous authority to award degrees was limited to the MMAS degree. The language in the previous authority for Title 10 stated:
§ 4314. United States Army Command and General Staff College degree: Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army, and with the approval of a nationally recognized civilian accrediting association approved by the Secretary of Education, the Commandant of the United States Army Command and General Staff College may upon recommendation by the faculty confer the degree of master of military art and science upon graduates of the college who have fulfilled the following degree requirements: a minimum of thirty semester hours of graduate credit, including a masters thesis of six to eight semester hours, and a demonstration of competence in the discipline of military art and science as evidenced by satisfactory performance on a general comprehensive examination. These requirements may be altered only with the approval of such association.
In summary, this provision of Title 10 provided the requirements for the MMAS degree:
· Regional accreditation (from North Central Association of Colleges and Schools);
· Recommendation of the faculty (based on the thesis and comprehensive examinations);
· At least thirty semester hours of graduate credit (the year at CGSC);
· A master’s thesis of six to eight semester hours); and
· A general comprehensive examination (based on the CGSC curriculum).
The updated section of Title 10 for CGSC gives expanded authority to award degrees. The new (and current) authority from US Code Title 10 for CGSC states:
§ 4314. Degree granting authority for United States Army Command and General Staff College
(a) Authority.--Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army, the Commandant of the United States Army Command and General Staff College may, upon the recommendation of the faculty and dean of the college, confer appropriate degrees upon graduates who meet the degree requirements.
(b) Limitation.--A degree may not be conferred under this section unless--
(1) the Secretary of Education has recommended approval of the degree in accordance with the Federal Policy Governing Granting of Academic Degrees by Federal Agencies; and
(2) the United States Army Command and General Staff College is accredited by the appropriate civilian academic accrediting agency or organization to award the degree, as determined by the Secretary of Education.
(c) Congressional Notification Requirements.--
(1) When seeking to establish degree granting authority under this section, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives--
(A) a copy of the self assessment questionnaire required by the Federal Policy Governing Granting of Academic Degrees by Federal Agencies, at the time the assessment is submitted to the Department of Education's National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity; and
(B) the subsequent recommendations and rationale of the Secretary of Education regarding the establishment of the degree granting authority.
(2) Upon any modification or redesignation of existing degree granting authority, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a report containing the rationale for the proposed modification or redesignation and any subsequent recommendation of the Secretary of Education on the proposed modification or redesignation.
(3) The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a report containing an explanation of any action by the appropriate academic accrediting agency or organization not to accredit the United States Army Command and General Staff College to award any new or existing degree.
This expanded authority does not mean that there will be new degrees offered in the immediate future; it does mean, however, that CGSC can now develop new graduate degrees in addition to the MMAS with the following requirements:
· Approval recommendation by the Secretary of Education;
· Approval by the regional accrediting agency (North Central Association of Colleges and Schools);
· Notification to the Senate and House of Representatives Armed Services Committees (HASC/SASC).
There are two areas that I believe are worth pursuing, based on this new authority. The first is to establish a separate master’s program for the School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS). Currently, SAMS students also receive an MMAS degree – which, in many cases, is the second MMAS for some of the students (one from ILE; a second from SAMS). This would create a separate and unique degree based on the requirements of SAMS, while still maintaining the current MMAS program for the ILE program.
A second area for careful study and consideration is a professional doctorate program with a practitioner focus, such as a “Doctor of Military Art and Science (DMAS).” The rationale and approach for such a degree would require careful consideration and additional assets to produce the “doctorate level practitioner of operational art.”
