About The Army War College Diploma Of 1980 (and Colonel Buhari) – Carol Kerr by unongu(m): 1:22pm On Jan 27, 2015
The following is offered in response to questions you’ve forwarded to the
Army War College. I am sending a single email so that you will all have the
same information about the value of the 1980 diploma earned by COL Buhari,
and the role of international officers at the Army War College.

Retired Maj Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, of Nigeria, is a 1980 graduate of the
10-month Army
War College resident education program, at Carlisle Barracks, Pa.

COL Buhari was a member of the third Army War College class to have included
International Fellows. The Class of 1980 was the first student body to have
a large enough number of
International Fellows to seat one in every student seminar. The
International
Fellows Program was part of a major initiative to strengthen the Army War
College curriculum by bringing broader perspectives of international
partners into the War College experience.

The Chief of Staff of the Army invites International Fellows from select
countries to attend the Resident Education Program and Distance Education
Program each
year. These programs offer an opportunity for International Fellows to
participate with U.S. students in seminar and to study, research, and write
on subjects of
significance to the security interests of their own and allied nations. The
International Fellows establish mutual understanding and rapport with senior
U.S. officers and foreign
officers and enrich the educational environment of USAWC. Since the
International Fellows are immersed in U.S. culture, they have an opportunity
to acquire firsthand
knowledge of the United States and its institutions through study and
travel.

Since 1980, the International Fellows Program has expanded broadly. The
Class of 2015 includes 79 international officers, representing 73 countries.
Each student seminar group in the resident education program includes three
to four International Fellows studying alongside US military officers of the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, with representation from the US
Coast Guard and selected civilians of several federal agencies.

All US Army War College students are competitively selected for attendance
– by their Service if a US military officer, or by their country’s armed
forces when the country receives an invitation.

In general terms, the Army War College resident education program still has
the same major themes, albeit in 1980 there was more focus on operations.
The college was, and remains, focused on professional education for national
security professionals to serve society.
Overwhelmingly the focus was and is on Army professional education
requirements.

No master’s degrees were awarded by the US Army War College in 1980; the
first MSS degree was with the class of 2000.
The high quality of the existing curriculum was key to the College attaining
accreditation to grant the MSS degree — there was no major effort required
to reorient the curriculum content and methodologies that had existed
pre-2000.

[size=18pt]Was Buhari qualified (with 5 credits including Maths and English) to join the Nigerian Army as a commissioned officer in the first place?[/size]

This is the troubling question, not all these long stories.
The electorates are not interested in the military courses he attended afterwards. Those are not in doubt.

How does this not prove that he has education achievements far above WASC?.
