Senior Level Strategy Education for National Policy Management
THE EISENHOWER SCHOOL
The Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy prepares selected military and civilians
for strategic leadership and success in developing our national security strategy and in evaluating, marshalling, and
managing resources in the execution of that strategy.
General Eisenhower signs War Department Circular 130, 3 May 1946, that renames the school "The Industrial College
of the Armed Forces". The School is renamed "The Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy"
in a 6 September 2012 ceremony. The school is located at Fort Lesley J McNair on the National Defense University
campus in Washington DC.
The Industry Study Program gives Eisenhower School students a unique opportunity to meet with senior leaders and assess
the current state of particular national industries. Student fieldwork is available in the Industry Reports
section [ Industry Reports ]
Former Secretary of State, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Colin Powell addresses students in Baruch auditorium during a
recent visit. Students and faculty benefit from the guest speaker programs by providing access to outstanding
contemporary leadership experiences and wisdom.
Eisenhower School students will read, think and write about a wide variety of National Security topics. The opportunities for writing
acclaim are plentiful and the faculty take great care to develop student writing skills.
The Prep-T program offers students an opportunity to visit operationally important systems with major relevance or
standing in the Eisenhower School curriculum or National Security. These students are visiting a border crossing point with Mexico.
The National Security Strategy Exercise gives students a platform to present executive level National
Security reports to distinguished visitors. Acting as assistants to National Security Advisors, students create
and recommend a new President's National Security Strategy Report (NSS).
Students and faculty have many opportunities to learn from each other during the year. The seminar system
provides close contact between students, and students and faculty. The excellent and experieced
faculty maintain a 3:1 student faculty ratio.
Students travel and do fieldwork at large works or systems that affect National Security.
The Prep-T and Industry Study programs get students into the field around the globe.
These students get an exceptional view of the Panama Canal.
The Eisenhower Experience includes a number of sporting events. Our neighbors at The National War College compete
with the Eisenhower School for the President's Cup throughout the year. Spring time means a trip to the Thorpe Games with all
the other senior service schools.
Go Tigers!
The Eisenhower School's beloved mascot will lead the cheers!
