The Students Nearly 2,000 students attend the Naval Postgraduate School. The student body consists ofofficers from the five U.S. uniformed services, officers from approximately 25 allied countries and a small number ofcivilian employees. Selection ofofficers for fully funded graduate education is based upon outstanding professional performance as an officer, promotion potential and a strong academic background. TheFaculty The faculty, the majority ofwhom are civilians, are drawn from a broad diversity of educational institutions and represent a prestigious collection ofscholars. Faculty/student—interaction is high. Every class is taught directly by a faculty member over 99% ofwhom have a Ph.D. The Degrees The Naval Postgraduate School offers classes leading to advanced degrees in a variety oftechnical fields.

Boorda Admiral, U.S. Navy Chief of Naval Operations CNO GRADUATE EDUCATION POLICY "I reaffirm the investment in graduate education ofselected officers to be a strategic requirement for Navy. With today's technological, managerial, political and economic complexities, educating officers in specific subspecialties greatly increases operational readiness and, as a corollary benefit, develops the intellectual diversity and capacity that enhances the total professional performance ofour officer corps. Our investmentin graduate education mustbe pursued as a priorityeven in the face of competing demands and declining resources." "The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will remain Navy's primary source offully- funded graduate education. NPS will remain committed to the development ofcurricula that meet the highest standards ofexcellence and the unique professional needs ofthe Navy and the Department ofDefense (DoD)..." J. M. Boorda Admiral,U.S.Navy 'Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." -- PresidentJohn F. Kennedy THE SCHOOL To meetits educational requirements, the Navy has developed a unique academic institution atthe Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) through the use ofspecially tailored academic programs, and a distinctive organization tying academic disciplines to naval and joint warfighting applications. The student body consists ofU.S. officers from all branches ofthe uniformed services, civilian employees ofthe federal government and military officers and government civilian employees ofother countries. Selection ofofficers for fully funded graduate education is based upon outstanding professional performance as an officer, promotion potential and a strong academic background. Students receive graduate degrees as a result ofsuccessful completion ofstudy programs designed primarily to prepare them for future career assignments; however, degrees are awarded on the basis ofthe same academic standards that prevail at other accredited institutions. NPS is an academic institutionwhose emphasis is on study and research programs that are relevant to the Navy's interests, as well as the interests ofother arms ofthe Department of Defense (DoD). The programs are designed to accommodate the unique requirements ofthe military, including requirements for Defense Acquisition, and Joint Professional Military Education. THE MISSION The Naval Postgraduate School was established to serve the advanced educational needs of the Navy. The broad responsibility ofthe school is reflected in its stated mission: The mission ofthe Naval Postgraduate School is to provide advanced professional studies at the graduate level for military officers and defense officials from all services and other nations. The School's focus is to increase the combat effectiveness ofthe armed forces ofthe United States by providing quality education which supports the unique needs ofthe defense establishment. An expansion upon this mission which has been excerpted from SECNAVINSTRUCTION 1524.2A,March27,1989: The Naval Postgraduate School exists for the sole purpose ofincreasingthe combateffectiveness ofthe Navy and Marine Corps. It accomplishes this by providing post-baccalaureate degree and nondegree programs in a variety of subspecialty areas not available through other educational institutions. NPS also supports the Department ofNavythrough the continuingprograms ofnaval andmaritime research and through the maintenance ofan expertfaculty capable ofworkingin, or as advisors to, operational commands, laboratories, systems commands, andheadquarters activities ofthe Navy and Marine Corps. To fulfill its mission, the Naval Postgraduate School strives to sustain excellence in the quality ofits instructional programs, to be responsive to technological change and innovation in the Navy, and to prepare officers to introduce and utilize future technologies. ACCREDITATION The Naval Postgraduate School is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities ofthe Western Association ofSchools and Colleges. Engineering curricula accredited by the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) are Aeronautical, Electrical and Mechanical. The Systems Management Curricula are accred- ited bythe NationalAssociation ofSchools ofPublicAffairs andAdministration. Certifica- tion for Phase I Program forJoint Education (PJE) is in process. DEGREES CONFERRED Although the curricula are tailored to address Navy requirements, they are developed within the framework ofclassical academic degrees, meeting the highest academic stan- dards. Each curriculum leads to a master's degree; however, additional study can lead to either an engineer's degree or the doctor's degree.
