Advanced Military Studies Programs at the Command and Staff Colleges. Hearings before the Military Education Panel of the Committee on Armed Services. House of Representatives, One Hundred Second Congress, Second Session (May 12 and July 23, 1992).
Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Armed Services.
This document reports the written and oral testimony given at two congressional hearings investigating the possibilities and methods for having degrees granted at military intermediate service schools and master's degrees granted at the National War College and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. Officials testifying included high-ranking military officers, educational officials, and officials of accreditation organizations. Witnesses stated the advantages of degree-granting authority and pressed for Congress to authorize that facility, as one step in the accreditation process. Those who testified noted earlier efforts at accreditation for other military institutions and stressed that Congress had to grant degree-granting authority before the accrediting organizations would rule on standards for accreditation. Most of the testimony stressed the high quality of the military institutions and argued for passage of degree-granting authority for them. (KC)
