The Special Topics Course provides cadets an opportunity for reading and analysis in depth within a topic area of special interest and timely relevance to Defense and Strategic Studies. The course director will determine the approach dependent on the topic and enrollment. Courses will normally develop the cadet's understanding of the topic through study of theory, history, doctrine, and historical and contemporary case studies. A generous portion of the course will normally address modern complex problems related to the topic area and assignments will emphasize analytical writing. Topics will vary by semester. A past Special Topics Course was "Sea and Air Power."
