HPU's faculty are known not only as outstanding teachers, but also as scholars in their respective fields - indeed a number of the faculty in the diplomacy and military studies program have conducted extensive research in various areas of military affairs and have published on related topics. With stellar academic backgrounds and wide-ranging experiences in public service, our faculty members bring a balance of theory and practical insight to the classroom. With an emphasis on meaningful faculty-student interaction, most courses are taught in a seminar format, where faculty works one-on-one with graduate students.
