The Office of Professional Military Graduate Education allows Fort Leavenworth faculty and students, both military and civilian, the opportunity to pursue broad, interdisciplinary degree programs in areas relevant to their teaching or research interests through KU's Special Studies Doctoral Program.
Those interested in pursuing a Special Studies Program degree should contact Dr. Adrian Lewis, Office of Professional Military Graduate Education Director, at arl0008@ku.edu.
This graduate degree program focuses on the structure of the U.S. government agencies, the nature of interagency cooperation, and international relations considerations as they apply to interagency issues. Courses are taught by KU faculty at both the Fort Leavenworth and Lawrence campuses. The program is open to active duty United States Special Operations Forces officers attending Intermediate Level Education (ILE) at Fort Leavenworth. Slots are limited to those officers selected by their service and admitted by the university. A limited number of non-military ILE students representing select U.S. government agencies may also take part in the Interagency Studies Program.
This pilot program allows injured soldiers in the Army to apply to the University of Kansas at the graduate level. Upon completion of their graduate degrees, the soldiers can return to the Army, which will benefit from their education and personal experiences. The program was conceived by Army Brig. Gen. Mark O'Neill of the Command and General Staff College, Ft. Leavenworth, who saw it as a way to pay back in some measure soldiers who have sacrificed heavily for their country, and a way for the Army to retain the talents and energy of young soldiers who otherwise could not have continued in their military careers. KU was asked to partner with Ft. Leavenworth because of its long and expanding working relationship with the Combined Arms Center and its own commitment to the program’s success.
The KU School of Business, in conjunction with the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) at Fort Leavenworth, is offering Army officers the opportunity to expand their future potential with a new specialized degree in Supply Chain Management.
The Master of Science in Business with a Supply Chain Management and Logistics concentration is aimed specifically toward Army Majors and Major-eligible Captains. The degree will complement the quality military supply chain education officers enjoy while enabling a broader, civilian economy focus for those who plan to pursue logistics careers after military service. In addition, officers who continue careers in the Army are virtually required to have a Masters degree to advance beyond the rank of Major.
