The Teachers' Forum: The Operations Analysis Curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School
Abstract
The operations analysis curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School has responded to a variety of pressures for change in the 45 years since its founding, and its managers have continually wrestled with the theory-versus-practice question that has recently preoccupied ORSA/TIMS and INFORMS. Even though NPS is almost unique among graduate schools on account of its navy sponsorship, our experiences may still be of interest to others.
