THE NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL

The Naval Postgraduate School opened in Annapolis in 1909 and

transferred to the Monterey Peninsula in 1952. Since its beginning, the

School has conferred over 22,000 degrees. The typical student is an

unrestricted line U.S. Naval Officer who has completed an operational

tour. Students are engaged in intensive studies leading to a master’s

degree in one of 46 different curricula split between 11 academic

departments and 7 academic groups. Each curriculum is tailored to

provide the academic requirements for accredited advanced degrees and

meet the additional educational skill requirements necessary for

subsequent assignments. Officers are obliged to remain in service for

about four years after they complete their schooling. Students arrive

every quarter, with the heaviest influx entering in January and July. Of

the approximately 1300 students now enrolled, about 70 percent are in

the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 10 percent are from other

United States services, and the remaining 20 percent are from allied

countries. In order to keep abreast in their areas of expertise, faculty

members conduct research beneficial to many governmental agencies.

Many of our faculty are internationally recognized in their respective

fields. Over 27 million dollars of research is conducted or administered

annually at the School. Guests are invited to tour the school grounds

and to visit historic Herrmann Hall.
