About SGM-A
The Sergeants Major Academy (SGM-A) at Fort Bliss, TX, became CGSC’s fourth school and a branch campus in March 2018. Each year, the SGM-A offers the ten-month Sergeants Major Course-Resident (SMC-R) to senior U.S. and international noncommissioned officers, and the Sergeants Major Course via distance learning to another Army Reserve and National Guard NCOs around the world. In 2019, CGSC received Higher Learning Commission (HLC) authority and Department of the Army approval to offer a Bachelor of Arts in Leadership and Workforce Development to eligible graduates of the Sergeants Major Course.
The SGM-A consists of an academy-level staff of administrators and curriculum developers and five academic departments under the direct supervision of the SGM-A Director: the Department of Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, Multinational Operations (DJIIMO), the Department of Force Management (DFM), the Department of Army Operations (DAO), the Department of Command Leadership (DCL), and the Department of Professional Studies (DPS).
In addition to delivering resident and distance learning SMC, the SGM-A provides a four week SMC International Military Student Pre-Course (IMSPC).
