The Naval Postgraduate School’s Strategic Plan supports the university's mission to “provide relevant and unique advanced education and research programs to increase the combat effectiveness of commissioned officers of the Naval Service to enhance the security of the United States. In support of the foregoing, and to sustain academic excellence, NPS and the DON foster and encourage a program of relevant and meritorious research which both supports the needs of Navy and Department of Defense while building the intellectual capital of Naval Postgraduate School faculty.”

The 2018-2023 NPS Strategic Plan is currently in collaborative development with ongoing campus briefings and meetings in progress. The NPS Strategic Plan will be available here in calendar year 2018.
