iving and learning in Hawai‘i is an unforgettable experience. Honolulu is a major hub of activity for business, education, government, military affairs, health services, politics, and commerce.

Hawai'i Pacific University's Master of Arts in Diplomacy and Military Studies (MA/DMS) is designed to provide students with an interdisciplinary view of the role of diplomacy and military force in world affairs from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The program combines courses in history, art history, humanities, literature, philosophy, anthropology, political science, international relations, and strategic security studies to acquaint students with different methodologies and approaches to understanding statecraft and the military. Courses for the MA/DMS degree fall into four major categories: foundational 'core' classes; electives in diplomatic and military history; supporting field electives that provide cross-disciplinary breadth; and culminating capstone courses. Moreover, unlike other, similar programs which focus on the United States and Europe, MA/DMS integrates a variety of courses on Asia and the Pacific as well as comparative and thematic courses. The core classes are drawn from the disciplines of history, interdisciplinary humanities, philosophy, and political science and provide students with the historical, methodological, ethical, and practical background necessary to comprehend the complex, multifaceted nature of the intersection of force and statecraft. They are also intended to give students a sound introduction to the fundamental literature dealing with the history of foreign relations and the military. The elective courses in military and diplomatic history allow students to explore the historical circumstances of the military both as a fighting force and as an instrument of foreign policy. History electives include regional studies, thematic courses, and offerings that focus on a specific chronological period. Supporting field electives provide cross-disciplinary breadth by exposing students to the diverse approaches and perspectives of humanities and social science disciplines to the study of foreign relations and war, including the impact on society and culture. Finally, in the capstone courses, students apply various disciplinary approaches, methodologies, and the knowledge and skills developed in their coursework to generate an individual research agenda and to produce, mentored by two faculty members, a final professional paper on a topic pertinent to Diplomacy and Military Studies.

HIST 6662 Seminar: U.S. Diplomatic History
“There is a popular belief that the great military figures of the past achieved their place in history solely by their mastery of the art of war and their abilities as leaders. While they all possessed these essential attributes, they also had in common much more than that: a knowledge of military history, an understanding of the complex dynamics of competing international interests, economics, politics, and diplomacy; and of war as an instrument of national policy. The Master of Arts in Diplomacy and Military Studies offered by Hawai‘i Pacific University provides military officers an exceptional opportunity for graduate-level study. A solid curriculum and outstanding faculty ensure the continuation of HPU’s tradition of service to professional military education.” Vice Admiral Diego E. Hernandez, U.S.N. (retired)

Transfer Credit
“The Master of Arts in Diplomacy and Military Studies is a truly unique degree in that it combines diplomatic and military history, political science, and other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences to investigate the relationship of the state, the military, and the individual. For the professional military officer, this degree provides historical and contemporary perspectives on the role and application of military force. Moreover, the MA/DMS is also very useful to civilian students who wish to pursue a doctoral program. I am sure that students will find the program both challenging and rewarding.” Dr. Michael Pavkovic Professor of Strategy & Policy, United States Naval War College.

Hawai'i Pacific University has two formal articulation agreements with other institutions that allow for transfer credit. The first is a bilateral agreement with the United States Naval War College. Under the terms of the articulation, graduates of the Naval War College Seminar Program will transfer 18 credits into the MA/DMS program - 9 credits towards both the military/diplomatic history and supporting electives. Students wishing to matriculate in the Naval War College's graduate program can take up to 9 semester hours of pre-approved courses at Hawai'i Pacific University and have these courses transfer into the Naval War College program. As part of the articulation agreement, pre-approved Hawai'i Pacific University's MA/DMS courses count for credit in the Naval War College program in National Security and Strategic Studies. The second agreement is with the Joint Forces Staff College. Graduates of that program will receive 18 credits towards the MA/DMS program - nine credits are applied to both the military/diplomatic history and supporting electives. It is also possible for students in the United States Marine Corps University and military colleges (e.g., the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College) to earn up to 18 credits towards the MA/DMS program for their graduate-level work. Other students with graduate credits, such as the U.S. Naval War College Correspondence Program or civilian institutions, will have transfer credits evaluated on an individual case basis.
In the course of this century, as in centuries past, diplomacy and the military have often played a pivotal role in significant political, social, and economic developments. It is, therefore, advantageous for the leaders of the future to have a solid understanding of the role diplomacy and the military play in politics and society.

The Graduate Faculty
“In the post-Cold War period, our military forces have entered a chaotic and confusing time when, in many situations, there are no clear lines drawn between friends and enemies. It will be common for a military unit to find itself in a foreign city engaged in humanitarian assistance on one block, patrolling against a fleeting guerrilla force on the next block, and then engaged in an intense battle against a sophisticated enemy possessing modern weapons three blocks away. It would certainly help the military leaders in these situations to have an understanding of the complex relationships with which they are involved. The Master of Arts in Diplomacy and Military Studies offered by Hawai‘i Pacific University is tailormade to help prepare military leaders to cope with the complex military, social, and political situations that they are likely to find themselves in today’s world. It has my highest recommendation to anyone with career military service in mind.” Jefferson Davis Howell, Jr. Lieutenant General, U.S.M.C. (retired)
