... ABOUT THE SCHOOL

The Naval Postgraduate School opened at Annapolis in 1909 and then shifted its location to Monterey in 1952. During that period of time it has conferred over 18,000 degrees. The typical student is a married U.S. Naval Officer who has completed an operational tour, is living in the nearby government housing, and is engaged in inten­sive studies leading to a master's degree in one of 43 different cur­ricula. This student would spend 18 to 27 months here receiving a master's degree which has been specifically tailored to include cer­tain educational skill requirements necessary for subsequent assignments. Students are obliged to remain in service for about four years after they complete their schooling. Although most of the Graduates receive master's degrees, there are normally a dozen or so students working on professional engineering degrees and another dozen or so on doctoral degrees.

Students arrive every quarter, although the heaviest inputs are in March and September. Of the approximately 1700 students now enrolled, 59% are in the United States Navy, 24% are from other United States services such as the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, NOAA, civilian labs, etc., and the remaining 17% are from allied foreign countries.

The faculty consists of approximately 350 professors, many of whom are internationally recognized in their respective fields . Two thirds of them are on a tenured track while the rest are adjunct pro­fessors; this arrangement allows the necessary flexibility to deal with variable demands. In order to keep abreast in their fields they are encouraged to do research beneficial to other governmental agencies. Over$14 million of research is conducted or administered from this campus.

The school is admin istered by the Superintendent (RADM Robert C. Austin) who is assisted by a Provost (Dr. Dave Schrady) . There are three civilian deans (Science and Engineering, Information and Policy Science, and Administration); two Navy Captains serve as the Director of Programs, ar id as the Director of Military Operations.

The following eleven departments comprise the Postgraduate School: Administrative Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research . National Security Affairs, Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Meteorology, Aeronautical Engineer­ing , Mechanical Engineering, and Oceanography.

The School became an Echelon II Command in October 1983 and, as such, now reports directly to the Vice Chief of Naval Operations.

Guests are invited to visit the Naval Postgraduate School Museum located in the basement of Herrmann Hall. The museum is designed to capture both the history of the school and that of the Old Del Monte Hotel through displays and artifacts.
