The Bachelor's Degree in Military Arts and Science: A Foundation for Key Leader Development
Abstract
Professional military education in the Army University system should produce an undergraduate degree in a professional discipline of study, a Bachelors of Military Arts and Science. We must define the Army by the large bodies of knowledge that exist across the educational domains to train, certify and educate from within a profession. Degrees produced by the Army University system define the study of the profession, as we define ourselves, through more capable Leaders. The Army University produces leaders that perform at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war; therefore, the manner in which we develop education for future challenges requires a deliberate and continuous approach before, during and after the first unit of assignment. In order to achieve a new standard of development for future leaders the BMAS is required as the foundation of the profession. The Bachelor's degree is a new educational standard to describe the approach for assigning and assessing the capacity to learn in the profession, defining the product of study and application.
