Can Today's Marine Corps' Military Officer Education Expand to Better Support Clausewitz's Vision of "Military Genius"? Using Neurodiversity to Enhance Education Through the Arts

Abstract

This thesis applies Clausewitz's framework of military genius to explore Marine Corps officers' mid-career training and its educational pedagogies. The growing research on neurological diversity lends itself to the recognition that a broader range of methodologies may resonate with a broader range of its military officers at Marine Corps University's Command and Staff College (CSC). Therefore, a possible complimentary arts-based educational approach is explored in order to nurture officers who may be on their way towards becoming a military genius. A "creative warrior" draft elective course is provided.
