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.
