Naval Postgraduate School Maritime Programs

Graduate degree and research programs at the Naval Postgraduate School, the US Navy’s accredited graduate university at Monterey, California, established 1909 at Annapolis and relocated to Monterey in 1951. Its maritime and naval programs cover operations research, undersea warfare, systems engineering, oceanography, and defense analysis, granting master’s and doctoral degrees to US and allied military officers and Defense Department civilians, distinct from STCW merchant-officer licensing at the state academies.
