The Distance Education Program consists of a series of eight primary online courses, an elective or directed research project, and two summer resident courses, taken over a two-year period. It is permissible to include USAWC lectures in bibliographies of research papers, but to do this, specific written permission must be obtained from the speaker. Online participants contribute to the Distance Education Program based on the adherence of our students to this policy. This non-attribution policy applies to online lectures, videos, forums, and any other presentations made available to the Distance Education Program students. When it is necessary to refer to remarks by a previous speaker, make that reference in general terms so as to protect the previous speaker's identity. It is the policy of the College that students and faculty will not attribute speaker's statements in public media or forums or knowingly transmit them to persons who will. Outside speakers and lecturers, faculty and students are encouraged to speak openly. Full freedom of expression is encouraged during all academic endeavors.
