 Elective Program WELCOME The Elective Program complements the core curriculum by providing courses tailored to the diversified needs of students in joint education. The objective of this program is for students to develop fuller understanding and depth of knowledge in areas relating to their combatant command and their joint staff functions, and to better prepare themselves, in general, for joint duty. Each student takes one six-week elective. Students assigned less than six months or en route to one of the ten Combatant Commands should take the elective specific to their assignment. Schedule Electives normally meet on Wednesday mornings for two hours. JCWS may change the Elective schedule to accommodate scheduling of courses and lessons. Room locations are TBD. Contacts Electives Coordinator: E-mail: Registrar Office.  Background The Elective Program permits students to conduct in-depth study of an issue or issues they find particularly useful or intriguing during their education at the Joint Forces Staff College. Members of the faculty, adjunct professors from the local area, and regional guest speakers teach an elective. Normally they teach an elective on Wednesday mornings. Students assigned less than six months or en route to one of the ten Combatant Commands take the elective specific to their assignment , i.e., if you are en route to CENTCOM, you take the CENTCOM Elective. Assignments to an elective are NOT made during the registration process. Elective assignments are made during the first week of class.  Selection Procedures:  JCWS Students During the registration process, each JCWS student selects and prioritizes their electives.
