Naval War College (NWC)
686 Cushing Road
Telephone: 841-1310
One of Newport, Rhode Island's most enduring and prominent landmarks is the Naval War College (NWC) on Coasters Harbor Island in Narragansett Bay. Since the first class met on Oct. 6, 1884, in an austere loft with nine students, more than 20,000 U.S. military and international officers, as well as hundreds of senior federal service civilian executives, have graduated from NWC. Throughout its history, the college has held fast to the belief, first articulated by its founding president, Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, that "The War College is a place of original research on all questions relating to war and to statesmanship connected with war, or the prevention of war." Vice Admiral Stansfield Turner, the college's thirtyseventh president, added focus and specificity to that depiction of the character of the institution when he charged the college to "Always keep in mind the product which this country needs is military leaders with the capability of solving complex problems and executing their decisions. You must keep your sights set on decision making or problem solving as your objective."

The intent of Luce and Turner constitute the strategic tradition and purpose of the Naval War College. ?is strategic tradition has a very practical and steadfast influence in everything that the college does. The college's Professional Military Education (PME) programs are grounded in this strategic tradition and are intended to prepare leaders for the challenges of operational and/or strategic level leadership over the remainder of their careers as decision makers and problem solvers.The college's Professional Military Education curriculum now focuses on three core areas: Strategy and Policy, National Security Decision Making and Joint Military Operations.

The 10-month curriculum for resident students is divided into trimesters of three to four months. Additionally, three abbreviated 12-day core curriculum courses are offered annually for U.S. military reservists.NWC convocations are traditionally scheduled in August, and the majority of students graduate the following June. However, two smaller classes of senior and intermediate-grade U.S. officers begin their academic years in either the winter or spring trimesters, which begin in November and March.

The Naval War College consists of six academic colleges.
• The College of Naval Warfare is a residential program for senior-grade officers from all five U.S. military services and their civilian executive counterparts from various federal agencies.
• The College of Naval Command and Staff is an intermediate residential program, attended by lieutenant commanders, majors and their civilian counterparts.
• The Naval Command College, established in 1956 by Admiral Arleigh A. Burke, then the U.S. Navy's Chief of Naval Operations, is attended by senior international naval officers. These officers represent approximately 45 nations a year.
• The Naval Staff College is for intermediate- grade international naval officers who have completed eight to 15 years of military service.
• The College of Distance Education provides active duty officers, reservists, eligible civilian employees of the U.S. government and a limited number of allied naval officers the opportunity to complete the NWC curriculum, receiving a diploma and Joint Professional Military Education ( JPME) Phase I credit. Students may either attend seminars at selected military bases throughout the U.S. via the Fleet Seminar Program (which is available here in Newport), or complete their diploma requirements via correspondence courses.
• The College of Operational and Strategic Leadership (COSL) formally established on Oct. 1, 2007, provides Professional Military Education (PME) focusing on leadership development and integrating leadership, ethics, and character development into the Navy's PME Continuum for Navy officer and enlisted personnel.
