“The Naval Postgraduate School has a clear vision of its mission — to provide cutting-edge graduate education, research,
and executive education programs that meet the needs of military officers and defense officials from around the world. NPS
has made vital contributions to national and international security, and today’s US and coalition forces are more capable
and effective because of this innovative defense-focused institution. I urge you to come take a look at NPS.”
