As a U.S. Navy officer, what are the key requirements and initial steps to apply for admission to the Naval Postgraduate School, including academic background, the role of my detailer, and how to submit both the online application and official transcripts?
Navigate to 'https://nps.edu/web/admissions' Click on the 'U.S. Navy' tab under the 'Officers' section. Identify the academic background required and the role of the U.S. Navy officer's detailer. Navigate to the 'Apply' page using the main navigation menu. Click on the 'Submitting Your Application' tab. Identify the initial steps for online application submission. Click on the 'Submitting Official Transcripts' tab. Identify the instructions for official transcript delivery.
State that selection is based on a strong academic background (accredited baccalaureate degree, outstanding professional performance, promotion potential). Explain that U.S. Navy officers must contact their detailer(s) to determine professional qualification status and quota availability. Identify that an initial step is to submit the online program application. Identify that official transcripts from all attended institutions are required and must be delivered directly to NPS Admissions (electronically or physically) from the institution or an approved service, not from the applicant.
