Learning Beyond the Traditional Classroom
The Resnick Center’s curriculum combines historical scholarship with innovative, applied learning experiences that prepare cadets to recognize and prevent mass atrocities.
Through case studies, collaborative exercises, and immersive simulations, students examine complex crises through historical, ethical, and operational perspectives.
Mass Atrocity Prevention Practicum (MAPP)
Int eh MAPP, cadets collaborate with peers from other service academies and civilian universities in a fast-paced wargame.
- Analyze emerging or ongoing crises
- Develop policy and operational responses
- Make decisions as scenarios evolve
- Strengthen leadership, ethics, and prevention skills
Bridging Theory and Practice
In the Genocide and Mass Atrocity course, cadets conclude their studies with tabletop exercises that challenge them to respond to a simulated atrocity threat in a specific region.
By bridging theory and practice, the curriculum ensures cadets are ready to recognize the warning signs and take action to prevent atreocities as future military leaders.
