Purpose of the Defense Planners Course: The primary purpose of the Department of Distance Education's (DDE) online Defense Planners Course (DPC) is to assist the Army in meeting increased educational requirements for planners at the operational and strategic levels.
The Distance Education Program consists of a series of eight primary online courses, an elective or directed research project, and two summer resident courses, taken over a two-year period. Each course is composed of numerous lessons.
Individual student requirements are subjective in nature, based on required study and designed to ensure that course objectives are attained . Attendance at both scheduled resident courses of instruction is required for successful completion of the curriculum.
First Year Studies. This course is designed to prepare the student for education at the strategic leadership level. It serves to introduce the student to methods of learning used at the U.S. Army War College Department of Distance Education.
In exceptional circumstances, permission to be deferred from resident course attendance to attend a resident course scheduled for the subsequent class may be granted for compelling reasons.
Every student in the Distance Education Program is required to participate in the elective program. Electives provide students with instruction in a specialized subject which will build on the knowledge gained during the two year program and which will be either of personal or professional interest to the student.
