Welcome to the NPS Electronic Theses, Dissertations,
MBA Professional Reports and Joint Applied Projects website.
Here you will find the information and forms you need to obtain your certificate
of thesis completion (the "Green Card").
General
Information
The
Thesis, Dissertation, MBA
Professional Report or Joint
Applied Project is the
capstone achievement of the
student's academic endeavor
at the Naval Postgraduate
School. Thesis and report
topics address issues from
the current needs of the
Fleet and Joint Forces to
the science and technology
required to sustain
long-term superiority of the
Navy/DoD.
Students, with their faculty
advisors, provide a unique
capability within the DoD
for addressing warfighting
problems. This capability is
especially important now, as
technology in general, and
information operations in
particular, is changing
rapidly.
Your
paper will be distributed by
e-mail to those named on
your distribution list. It
will be archived at NPS
Dudley Knox Library and
Defense Technical
Information Center (DTIC),
unless it is Top Secret.
