For several years, the Naval Postgraduate School has been embarked on a journey to define who we are, who our customers are and how well we serve them, and in what direction we are headed as a university. This journey, which began in 1992, is our Strategic Planning Process. Through this process, we have defined our mission and our vision and have developed Strategic Initiatives that will enable us to realize this vision. NPS took advantage of the opportunity to conduct a Self-Study as a way to ensure campus-wide involvement in the continued development and execution of the NPS Strategic Plan. We hoped that faculty, staff, students, and administration would feel they are not only part of the plan but also critical to its success. Additionally, we hoped to ensure that the plan and its Initiatives represent the right direction and focus for the institution.We realize that one key to a successful strategy, and to a thriving university, is assessment. We should constantly evaluate our effectiveness as a university, as a military institution, and as a professional organization. From the self-study process, we found that we effectively monitor our progress in many areas and have many valuable assessment mechanisms and systems in place. Additionally, we have made significant progress in evaluating our effectiveness over the past several years; however, we still have much to learn as well as much to gain as the result of effective assessments. This Self-Study documents our findings. This first volume is an Introduction to NPS. It provides an overview of our Strategic Plan, describes our self-study process and its results, and discusses steps we have taken to address the concerns and issues from our last WASC visit. It also discusses the lessons learned and recommendations from our Self-Study and provides insights on the direction in which the School will proceed as a result of the Self-Study. Volume II is an in-depth look at the Strategic Initiatives. It looks at each in terms of its current status and provides an analysis and evaluation of our progress in achieving it. Recommendations are also provided. The recommendations extend from what should be done to improve the relevance of the Strategic Initiatives to how NPS can successfully meet their intent. Existing and suggested ways to assess our success in terms of each Initiative are also provided. Finally, Volume III addresses each WASC Standard, together with its substandards, and ensures that NPS meets or exceeds these standards. ; Vol. I is an Introduction to NPS.
