There was one cur­ riculum, marine engineering. Its pro­ grams expanded through the years in response to growing Navy needs; now, after 67 years of providing grad­ uate education far naval officers, the school offers over 50 different cur­ riculums and ranks academically with the best graduate universities in the country. More than 12,000 academic degrees, from baccalaureate through doctorate, have been awarded since 1945, when Congress authorized the school to grant them. The Naval Postgraduate School is fully accredited by the Western Associ­ ation of Schools and Colleges, with specific engineering curricula accred­ ited by the Engineers' Council for Pro­ fession a I Development. On its multimillion-dollar campus, the school offers more than 600 courses in sci­ ence, engineering, management and other fields. Eighty percent of the students of the Navy's postgraduate program are studying at Monterey, with the remain­ der enrolled at 50 civilian universities in other parts of the U.S. At present, more than 1000 officers of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard, as well as U.S. govern­ ment civilians and officers from 25 al­ lied countries, are being educated at the Postgraduate School for leadership in the modern world. The NPS campus is now located on the spacious grounds of Monterey's former Hotel Del Monte, where it was moved in 1951. From NPS to the Moon Most NPS military graduates go on to assignments at the operational, staff or command level. Many alumni have made significant contributions to their professions and to science-Admiral 3 Arleigh "31-knot" Burke, Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp, Jr. and Admiral Hyman Rickover, to name a few. Seven graduates became astro­ nauts, including Commander Eugene A. Ceman, who circumnavigated the moon in Apollo 10, and Commander Edgar D. Mitchell, who walked on the moon as part of the Apollo 14 mission. Aviation Safety Programs Each naval aviation activity, from squadron to carrier level, is required to have a qualified aviation safety officer (ASO) on board. The Naval Post­ graduate School educates these spe­ cialists, either naval aviators or naval flight officers, in two programs. The first is a six-week course given eight times a year for squadron level ASOs who will assist their commanding officers with aggressive accident prevention pro­ grams. The second program, ad­ vanced safety management, is a four-week, four-times-a-year course aimed at the ASO assuming the higher responsibilities of safety officer on a major staff. A one-week command safety course is held five times a year for squadron commanding officers . .• Organization and Educational Programs The superintendent of the Naval Postgraduate School is a rear admiral of the Navy line. Assisting him is the provost, who is the senior member of the civilian faculty. The school is orga­ nized under two Navy captains of the line who serve as director of military operations and logistics and director of programs. Curricular offices are staffed by offi­ cers who are responsible for the estab­ lishment and supervision of curriculums which meet the objectives of the spon­ sors, and for the administration of the students enrolled in their curriculums. They also provide direct liaison be­ tween students and their program sponsors in the Systems Commands and other offices of the Navy Depart­ ment. Working closely with the curricu­ lar officers are the academic as­ sociates, civilian faculty members ap­ pointed by the provost to advise cur­ ricular officers in developing and moni­ toring curricular programs. Students in each group pursue simi­ lar or closely related curriculums. In most of these areas, a common core program of study is followed for at least half the period of residency. The academic departments are chaired by civilian members of the fac­ ulty. Their primary functions are to pro­ vide classroom and laboratory instruc­ tion, supervise thesis work, and foster research programs. The School's eleven academic de- partments are: Aeronautics Electrical Engineering National Security Affairs Mathematics Mechanical Engineering Meteorology Oceanography Operations Research Administrative Sciences Physics and Chemistry Computer Science The educational programs offered by the Naval Postgraduate School fall 5 ~ into several general categories: a.
