The MSA requires a minimum of 36 graduate semester hours to complete the degree. The MSA degree program consists of an administrative core, an administrative concentration, and an integrative applied project. The administrative core provides each student with a base of common knowledge and the competencies required for successful professional administration. The administrative core represents 15 semester hours of required classes and electives, based upon each student’s individual program of study. The administrative concentration selected by each student provides for specialization in a specific career area. Eighteen semester hours are designated for an administrative concentration that allows students to develop expertise in their area of professional interest within the degree program. Six concentration options are available to the officers of the Command and General Staff College (CGSC): • • • • • • General Administration Leadership Human Resource Administration Public Administration Information Resource Management International Administration The MSA program culminates in a three semester hour integrative applied project that links the concepts explored by each student and the working world, demonstrating the unity and coherence of the student’s course of study. The integrative applied project is a capstone assignment in which each student applies course content to specific administrative tasks. All students take the Applied Research Project in Administration integrative analysis of administration course.
