What's in a name?  The Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies has changed the name of three courses in order to better portray their topical areas.  The following changes are taking effect immediately:

  • Senior Executive Course (SEC) is now referred to as the Senior Executive Course: Transnational Security Cooperation;

  • Executive Course (EC) will be known as the Executive Course:Advanced Security Cooperation;

  • Junior Executive Course (JEC) is now the Junior Executive Course: Asia-Pacific Security Foundations.

Names of other APCSS courses will remain the same.

The APCSS addresses regional and global security issues, inviting military and civilian representatives of the United States and 45 Asia-Pacific nations to its comprehensive program of courses and conferences, both in Hawaii and throughout the Asia-Pacific region.  The Center supports the U.S. Pacific Command’s objective of developing professional and personal ties among national security establishments throughout the region.  APCSS focuses on a multilateral and multi-dimensional approach to defining and addressing regional security issues and concerns.  The most beneficial result is building relationships of trust and confidence among future leaders and decision-makers within the region.
