THE NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL

The Naval Postgraduate School opened at 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 of37 different curricula split between 11 academic departments and4 academic groups.Each curriculum is tailored to provide the academic requirements for an accredited advanced degree 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 June and September. Of the approximately 1900 students now enrolled, about 75% are in the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 15% are from other United States services, and the remaining ·10% are from allied countries.

Many of the 350 professors at the school are internationally recognized in their respective fields. In order to keep abreast in their areas of expertise, faculty members conduct research beneficial to many governmental agencies. Over 27 million dollars of research is conducted or administered annually at the school.

The Superintendent, RADM Thomas A. Mercer, with the assistance of Provost Harrison Shull, guides the school in its endeavors. There is also a civilian Dean of Faculty, Dean of Instruction, Dean of Computer and Information, Dean of Research, and two U.S. Navy Captains who serve as the Dean of Students/Director of Programs and Director of Military Operations.

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