UCalgary suspends Centre for Military, Security and Strategic Studies PhD program

The University of Calgary has reportedly suspended its Centre for Military, Security and Strategic Studies (CMSS) PhD program until further notice. UCalgary says that the program has been suspended since January 2021 due to a decline in interest and enrolment. No students have entered the program since 2015. The program is now undergoing a review to determine the factors behind the lowered enrolment, and to revise and redevelop the program to ensure it meets security and strategic studies needs. “We did not terminate the program,” said UCalgary Professor Erin Gibbs Van Brunschot. “At this point, we’re feeling fairly confident that it will reopen, but it might be reshaped somehow.” Livewire Calgary Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
