Overview
Mission
Why are we unique?
Our Sponsors
GSEAS really is a different kind of school. Its dual mission of sustaining high quality graduate education in engineering and applied sciences while simultaneously sustaining relevance to national security needs best characterizes the difference between GSEAS and a typical graduate school of engineering.
More to the point, we offer unique, dynamic, and innovative programs for today’s military officers and DoD civilians. Our goal is to educate the next generation of U.S. and international leaders and prepare them for the uncertainties and challenges of a rapidly changing technological world.
For over 90 years, the Navy, as well as other services, has relied on the Naval Postgraduate School to prepare its officers with advanced scientific and technical knowledge—we take great pride in our proven record of success in responding to that need and trust. It is our commitment to excellence in both teaching and research, both directly linked to the defense community and national security, that has sustained the unparallel success of our students fielding their service to our nation as flag officers, engineers, astronauts, program managers and in positions at the highest levels of DoD and the private sector.
Accelerate your knowledge and career with one of our academic programs—we offer both masters and doctoral degree programs. We are dedicated to providing a rare educational experience that will prepare you to meet new challenges and continue to grow in today’s fast paced, highly technological defense community and world.

". . . developing agile, innovative minds . . ."
Preparing our students to lead transformation and leverage and manage change in tomorrow’s complex and technically challenging world is our purpose, the reason we exist. We fulfill that purpose by empowering student minds with advanced knowledge culled from cutting-edge, defense related research; by blending classroom experiences into a hands-on pedagogy that links theory and reality; and by teaching and inculcating creative, innovative thinking that prepares our students to continue to learn, grow, adapt and lead in future, unknown environments. Our graduates are more than just well educated engineers and scientists; they are innovative leaders of transformation and creative solvers of tomorrow’s problems.

Cutting-edge: The defense-related research by our faculty assures that the faculty, the courses they teach and the students who take our programs remain on the cutting edge and aligned to the future. Moreover, our students do more than study in the classroom; they receive hands-on experience with the latest defense technologies and tomorrow’s systems, to include: electric powered ships; nano-technologies; directed energy weapons; electric rail guns; electrical and computer engineering systems that enable future concepts such as net-centric warfare; unmanned underwater, aerial, and land systems; space systems; battle space environments and impacts on war fighting, and many others. |

Innovative: Our students not only learn “why” things work, but also why they don’t work, as well as “how” fundamental scientific and engineering principles can be applied to the integration of U.S. military and various defense systems (such as sonar, radar technologies, and others) to enable future war fighting concepts and capabilities.

Unique:
Jointness: GSEAS is truly a “joint” school with healthy enrollments from all military Services (Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, and others). No other graduate school in engineering and science offers high quality education enriched and enhanced by a joint learning culture.
International Students: In addition to being “joint,” GSEAS is also enriched by graduate students from countries all over the world. Indeed, U.S. students study alongside international counterparts--from over 50 countries--colleagues with whom they may work in the future. No other graduate school in engineering and science offers high quality education enriched and enhanced by a joint, international learning culture.
|
| • |
Forward Looking: We focus on the future; anticipate, embrace and leverage change; and seek challenge and opportunity to serve national security needs.
|
| • |
Military Relevance: Our reason for being is to serve national security needs, and our track record of success documents our ability to sustain high academic quality and relevance to defense needs.
|
| • |
Real World Applicability: Each program, each course, each area of research – indeed the focus of all we do – is derived from and applicable to the real world. Students can utilize immediately what they learn in class for their current or future jobs…and continue to grow and learn over their lifetimes.
