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 10 academic department~

and 4 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 January and July. Of the approximately 1300 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 1 O percent 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.

Guests are invited to tour the school grounds and to visit historic Herman Hall.
