Policy and Analysis
Energy research at the Naval Postgraduate School in the area of Policy and Analysis (P&A) is most often found in the Graduate School of Business & Public Policy (GSBPP) and the Graduate School of Operational and Information Sciences (GSOIS). Energy P&A research in GSOIS can be found in several different departments, including Computer Science, Defense Analysis, Information Sciences, and Operations Research. The P&A research projects highlighted on this website illustrate the wide expertise of GSBPP and GSOIS faculty.
