Impact Assessment: National Security Simulation Course at Duke University

This report provides background information and some preliminary results on a National Security Simulation course offered at Duke University in Spring 2024. This project is designed to assess the benefits that students accrue from participating in a seven-week, active learning course, the main part of which is a national security-related simulation exercise or war-game called Acceleration. Designed and executed by Valens Global, the project also collected data from participants in shorter exercises at other universities
