Fleet Input Critical to the Future of Graduate
Education

• Education must
• Be relevant for warfighters
• Enable officer to take technical to tactical
• Provide a return to the Navy in all assignments
• Be delivered when and where officers need it
• Be valued by the Navy and individual officers
• NPS must ensure that this happensthats why we
  are here

Graduate Education at NPSHow we Operate

• Military-academic experience
• Uniquely valuable to the student officer
• Student to student learning
• Cdr. Jerry Becker, USN
• half, or more, of our education here is based
  on hearing personal examples from other military
  members whove been there.
• Payoff for military is immediate and enduring
• New expertise learned at NPS is carried directly
  back into the service
