Admissions

The Naval Postgraduate School offers first-class graduate degree programs in a wide variety of disciplines to eligible U.S. military students, international students, Department of Defense (DOD) civilian employees and a limited number of defense contractors.

All applications are processed by the Admissions Office, but the final acceptance decision is determined by the appropriate department faculty.  Some departments may have additional application requirements and they are outlined in the Naval Postgraduate School's Academic Catalog.  Be sure to review eligibility and department application requirements before applying.
