Capability of Colleges and Universities to Offer Graduate Degree Programs in Shortage Disciplines as Part of the Military Voluntary Education Programs

摘要

In response to Congressional and OSD inquiries, the Services conducted surveys of junior officers to determine their interest in the disciplines in which there were the most extreme shortages of officers with master's degrees. DANTES conducted the college and university survey (the subject of this report) to determine the capability of offering degree programs in the shortage disciplines on or near bases. There are opportunities for Education Services Officers to promote study in the shortage areas where there is a 'match' between officers' interests and institutions' capabilities. (Author)
