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 unrestrided 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 37 different curricula split between 10 academic departments and 4 academic groups. Each curriculum is tailored to provide the

f1i':8demic requirements for an accredited advanced degree and meet the additional (~ucational 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 1500 students now enrolled, about 75 percent are in the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 15 percent are from other United States services, and the remaining 10 percent are from allied countries.

Many of the 350 professors at the school are lntemationally 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 Computers 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 Henmann Hall. The museum is designed to capture the rich history of both the school and the Old Del Monte Hotel through displays and artifads.
