Background/History of the Laboratory:
The development
of a naval institution of higher learning dedicated to the
advanced education of commissioned officers began June 9,
1909, when the Postgraduate Department of the U.S. Naval
Academy was established at Annapolis. In 1919, the
postgraduate department was renamed the United States Naval
Postgraduate School. The Navy officially established the
school on the West Coast in December 1951. Currently, the
Naval Postgraduate School graduates approximately 800
students per year. Its student body includes officers of all
five U.S. services and approximately 25 allied services as
well as DoD civilians.
Mission of the Laboratory:
To conduct and
direct the advanced education of commissioned officers, and
to provide such other technical and professional instruction
as may be prescribed to meet the needs of the Naval Service,
and in support of the foregoing, to foster and encourage a
program of research in order to sustain academic
excellence.
