Queen's University established the Chair in Defence Management Studies at the School of Policy Studies in 1996 with the support of funding from the Department of National Defence and other donors. This initiative is intended to fill a gap in the study of defence matters in Canada, and to engage the interest of the Canadian public, scholars, members of the Canadian Forces, public servants, and members of the defence community, generally, in the examination and teaching of the public management of national defence policy.

The field of Defence Management includes all aspects of national defence and security except those dealing with operations and immediate support of military units in the field. The Defence Management Studies program maintains strong links with the Department of National Defence, the Canadian defence industries and non-governmental organizations in Canada and other countries. The Queen's University program includes a full range of research, publications, conferences and workshops, and teaching in the School of Policy Studies graduate degree "Masters in Public Administration".

For these and other reasons, students interested in advanced studies or careers in the defence field may find this to be the program they need to meet these ambitions.
