Space Systems Engineering, and Combat Systems Science and Engineering. These programs will be competed for the limited quota availability. Academic Profile Code (APC) The APC is a three-digit code which summarizes pertinent portions of an officer's prior college performance. This code is used to determine an officer's eligibility for an academic program at NPS. Your APC must be calculated before the Detailers can assign you a curriculum quota. Guidance on getting your APC calculated can be found here: NOTE 1: USW Students earn accredited degrees (Master of Science) in any of the master’s following disciplines: Engineering Acoustics, Physical Oceanography, Electrical Engineering, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, and Applied Sciences. See NPS website () for details. NOTE 2: Combat Systems Students earn an (Master of Science) accredited master’s degree in Applied Physics, but may also earn the degree in Physics, Engineering Acoustics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Software Engineering. See NPS website () for details. NOTE 3: Curricula highlighted in red below require DHRB and will be competed with the Talent Management Board. All other curriculum submittals will be assigned in parallel with the Talent Management Board and any remaining quotas will be advertised for rolling admissions.
