A New War Generation

Eight years after the 9/11 attacks, young America has grown into a new War Generation. Academics are responding; professors are starting to offer more courses in international security issues. The increase in courses is not uniform. In the sample set studied, some of the public universities are stumbling and the liberal arts colleges are struggling to offer relevant courses. However, the private universities in the study hired new faculty and, in some cases, doubled the number of security studies courses.
