Master Your Future at the Naval Postgraduate School
In the Service, For the Service, After the Service


NPS offers programs to meet your needs.
The Naval Postgraduate School offers a wide variety of programs, on the beautiful campus in Monterey, California, in many fleet concentration areas, and on-line for access wherever you are. We can help you find a program that suits your interests. And, even if you are not qualified for a program academically, we can help you determine what you need to do to prepare to enroll. See Academics for a complete listing of programs and courses of study.

NPS opens doors to new opportunities…both in and out of the service.
NPS programs have a defense focus designed to make you an expert in your chosen field. The degree allows you to fill interesting and exciting jobs while you are in the service. Then, when you are ready to move on to a second career, your NPS education is highly respected in the civilian world, as well. An NPS degree, combined with your military service, can really make a difference when it’s time to start your next career.

Life in Monterey is beyond compare.
Academic life at NPS is demanding and intellectually challenging. Fortunately, when you are not studying, Monterey has a full spectrum of exciting things to do and see. And, there’s something here for everyone. Monterey is a paradise for those interested in hiking, running, biking, golf, sailing and other outdoor activities. There are seasonal cultural events, music, theater and dance. The scenery is breathtaking, and the weather is temperate year around. See student pages of the website for more about life in Monterey.

And, it’s the people.
Most military assignments are significant to the friends we make and the times we share with those friends. Monterey offers a wonderful opportunity to meet students from all services and many other nations.
