The Department of Admissions is the initial point of contact for representatives from the Asia-Pacific region who are selected to attend the Asia-Pacific Center’s College of Security Studies. The Department of Admissions handles all in- and out-processing functions of the College, to include travel arrangements, billeting on-island and per diem payments. 

The College of Security Studies conducts several courses including:

  • Senior Executive Course: Transnational Security Cooperation (SEC)  - 1 week

  • Executive Course: Advanced Security Cooperation (EC) - 6 weeks

  • Comprehensive Security Responses to Terrorism Course (CSRT) - 3 weeks

  • Comprehensive Crisis Management (CCM) (formerly the Stability, Security, Transition and Reconstruction Course (SSTR)) - 4 weeks

  • Asia-Pacific Orientation Course  (APOC) - 1 Week.

  • SEAPOC (Coming Soon!)

Each course is geared toward a specific combination of mid- to senior-level career military officers and civilian government officials of equivalent rank (i.e., from the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc.).

Selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region are invited to send representatives to the College of Security Studies through the U.S. Embassy in their invited country. Additionally, the U.S. Government will fully fund representatives from certain countries to attend College of Security Studies courses.

Members of Non-Governmental Organizations and/or International Media Organizations are now allowed to attend APCSS courses as self-funded fellows.  Billets are obtained via the U.S. Embassy in that host country.  If you are unsure of who to contact at the embassy, please contact the Registrar Branch at (808) 971-8925 or email RegistrarBranch@apcss.org
