Officer person-nel who attend graduate school full time underany partially or fully funded program of 26weeks or more are considered funded. Fundedgraduate programs are limited to providingsufficient officers with subspecialties to fillvalidated billet requirements. All navalpersonnel, however, are encouraged to pursueeducational development through voluntaryeducation programs or the Navy Campus usingTuition Assistance (TA) or federal educationalbenefit programs like the Montgomery GI Bill.Under the fully-funded program, officers attendschool full-time, receive all pay and benefits,with tuition paid by the Navy, Officers maypursue fully-funded graduate education at theNaval Postgraduate School (NAVPGSCOL),Monterey, CA and selected Department ofDefense (DOD) and civilian institutions(CIVINS). Officers enrolled in full-time,non-funded programs attend school full-timeand receive full pay and benefits; tuition,however, is paid by the individual orby a non-Navy funded scholarship.

Education at Civilian Institutionsa. The Navy’s graduate education program

1. Purpose. To provide information, policyand procedural guidance for the Navy’s graduateeducation program.

2. Cancellation. OPNAVINST 1520.23A.

3. Background. References (a) and (b)outline the Navy’s need for officers educatedbeyond the baccalaureate level and provideguidance on their effective utilization. Whilethis education mainly supports requirements forofficers with specific subspecialty skills, it alsobenefits both the Navy and the individual by:(a) encouraging higher levels of professionalknowledge and technical competence; (b)providing incentives for recruitment and reten-tion of personnel with ability, dedication, and

supports fleet and shore establishmentrequirements for specialized education beyondthe baccalaureate level. This education isdirected toward filling current and future Navyneeds in operational, technical and managerialareas in concert with the Officer SubspecialtySystem outlined in reference (c), Chapters 4 and6, and Volume I, Part B, of reference (d).

b. Officers are educated to the graduatelevel specified by sponsors for optimum perform-ance of duty in the particular subspecialty area.The subspecialty codes associated with distinctfields, the concept of subspecialization, and thecriteria for identifying subspecialty officers andbillets are delineated in reference (c) andVolume I, Part B of reference (d).

c. The Graduate Education Review Group(GERG) will provide annual review of graduateeducation issues. A Graduate Education Review

R) Board (GERB), acting as the Board of Trusteesfor the Naval Postgraduate School, will providepolicy guidance and direction, long range goalsand objectives, and resource oversight for thefully-funded graduate education program. TheGERG and GERB will meet amually in the falltimeframe. The composition of both groupsfollows reference (c).

(1) Chief of Naval Personnel will

convene annual Graduate Education SelectionBoards. Selection for Navy funded graduateeducation will be based on academiccapability,outstanding professional performance, promotionpotential and a strong educational background.

(2) The Graduate Education SelectionBoard is held concurrently with Lieutenant (LT)and Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) selectionboards each year.

(3) Officers not selected by GraduateEducation Selection Boards may be adminis-tratively nominated by their respective assignmentofficers.

(4) Documented academic performancein voluntary education programs offered byCIVINS W enhance officers’ opportunity forselection,

(S) Participation in this program islimited to one graduate curriculum. Officers whohave earned a master’s degree on their own,which does not lead to a Navy subspeciak y code,will be considered automatically by GraduateEducation Selection Boards with their yeargroups. If selected, they will be eligible forassignment to funded graduate education basedon actual billet requirements. Officers who haveearned a master’s degree on their own which

does lead to a Navy subspecialty may requestconsideration to pursue another subspecialtyunder the funded program. If selected, they willbe eligible for assignment to funded graduateeducation based on actual billet requirements,

e. _ed Sew . Officers attending agraduate education program while on active dutywill agree that, upon completion or terminationof the education program, they will obligatethemselves to serve on active duty:

(1) A period three times the length ofeducation through the first year.

(2) 1 month for each month thereafter.

(3) This obligation to be servedconsecutively with other obligated serviceincurred before entering the graduate program(except for officers in receipt of either ascholarship, grant or fellowship in which case theobligated service incurred before entering thegraduate program can be served concurrently),

(1) Officers who have received Navyfunded graduate education will serve one tour ina validated subspecialty position as soon as possi-ble but not later than the second tout followinggraduation, Exceptions must be approved byChief of Naval Personnel (CHNAVPERS),(Pers-4), This policy will not be waived forpersonal preference.

(2) These officers will serve in as manypositions in related subspecialty billets as Navyrequirements and career development permit.

(3) Officers receiving graduate degreesand graduate level subspecialty codes throughother-than-funded programs will be utilizedwhenever possible to fill validated requirements.Assignment is based on the same criteria used

“for officers completing funded education,

5. Scope of Graduate Education Program—

a. Master’s Level Program. The curriculalisted in reference (e) and the annual OPNAVNotice 1520, Subj: Fully Funded GraduateEducation Programs (FY-92) are designed tomeet the Navy’s requirements for master’s levelsubspecialists. Curricula are offered by theNAVPGSCOL, Air Force Institute of Technology(AFIT), Defense Intelligence College (DIC) andvarious CIVINS. Reference (e) provides detailedinformation on graduate curricula at NAVPG-SCOL and general information on curricularprograms at various CIVINS. Copies are distrib-uted to all ships and stations. Additional copiesshould be requested from Director of Admissions(Code 62), Naval Postgraduate School, Mon-terey, CA 93943-5000. A limited number ofofficers may also pursue master’s level degreesthrough the Scholarship Program or AdvancedEducation Program.

b. Doctoral Study Program. A fewexceptionally competent officers may be selectedfor doctoral level education in support of thelimited number of billets required by the Navy.This program is described in enclosure (1).

c. Off-duty Voluntary Education. Officerswishing to pursue graduate education on a vol–untary basis have several options. They mayapply for TA under the Navy Campus or useany educational benefit program for which theyqualify (i.e., Veterans Educational AssistanceProgram (VEAP) or the Montgomery GI Bill).References (f), (g) and (h) apply,

6. Assignment. Assignment to graduateeducation duty-under-instruction (DUINS) iscontingent on an officer’s continued superiorperformance, availability for assignment,individual career development considerations,academic profile code, and the needs of theNavy. An officer is assigned to a specificcurriculum based upon individual desires andthe Navy’s educational requirements in varioussubspeciaky fields. Although every effort ismade to assign selectees to graduate educationduring the fiscal year for which they have beenselected, individual assignments remain subject to

the availability of qualified reliefs and the overallrequirements for experienced officers in opera-tional billets. Study lengths may be shortenedsignificantly for officers capable of validatingfundamental course work. All officers orderedinto a graduate education program will carry afull academic load on a year-round basis.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTING CIVILIAN INSTITUTIONS

1. Current guidance from Congress and the DOD mandates the fullutilization of DOD sponsored schools (NAVPGSCOL, DefenseIntelligence College, and the Air Force Institute of Technology).In some instances where an appropriate curriculum is notavailable to meet a valid subspecialty requirement, the use of acivilian university is necessary. The principal criteria forselecting these universities are the quality of academic programsoffered, ability of the programs to teach Education/SkillRequirements (E/SR) and the cost. Although cost will alwayscarry weight in selecting specific university programs, academicquality and sponsor requirements are fundamental considerationsand may predominate to meet Navy needs.

2. Factors to be considered in selecting a school include theability to provide full-time, year-round academic programs forcurricula listed; supervision and administrative supportavailable for military students; provision of resident status forNavy students for tuition purposes; and proximity to current dutystation and availability of a curriculum that will satisfy ESR atminimum costs in the least time. These factors should beconsidered jointly; however, failure to meet all of them will notautomatically disqualify a school from consideration.

3. Changes to approved CIVINS will be published each spring i.nthe annual OPNAVNOTE 1520, Subj: Fully Funded Graduate Education(FY-92). Subspeci.alty primary consultants will review approvedCIVINS at biennial curriculum reviews and recommend additions ordeletions with justification. Between curriculum reviews, theymay submit letter requests for justified changes to CNO (OP-11)via SUPT, NAVPGSCOL (Code 031).
