Hamilton School to roll out new degree in ‘war, statecraft, and strategy’
A classical-based school within the University of Florida recently graduated its first three students – and the pipeline is growing even larger.
The Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education, first established in summer 2022 with a $3 million infusion from the Florida legislature, has continued to grow in the past four years.
The school’s “Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law” major now has 146 enrolled students, according to Professor Brandon Warmke.
The Hamilton School also offers a major in “Great Books and Ideas” and beginning this fall “will also offer two more undergraduate degrees— War, Statecraft and Strategy (WSS) and American Government, History, Literature, and Law,” according to its website.
Warmke attributes the success of this program to student’s eagerness to “study timeless things with faculty who take very seriously their role in introducing young people to the conversation of mankind.”
“Hamilton simply invites students to the pursuit of learning,” Warmke told The College Fix via email. “Many of them find that refreshing.”

The program offers courses like “Civil Discourse and the American Political Order,” “The History of Political Economy,” and Human Flourishing: Philosophical, Political, Economic and Legal Perspectives.”
Warmke teaches several courses at the school, including the civil discourse class. He commented on how the school breaks from broader trends at other universities.
“Unfortunately, too many corners of higher education have turned their attention to other things, including activism, social experimentation, and commentary on the politics of the moment,” he told The Fix.

While enrollment drops in schools teaching social justice and degrees in "transing for fun and profit", schools teaching courses such as this should thrive.
