Naval Postgraduate School & The Del Monte Hotel by Ewingjr98
The US Navy's institute for higher learning, Naval Postgraduate School awards just under 2,000 Master's degrees each year in areas such as international studies, information technology, engineering, and public policy. NPS sits on a historic site in Monterey--the grounds of the former Del Monte Hotel. The Del Monte Hotel was established in 1880 and was long considered on e of the finest luxury hotels in America. In 1942, the owners sold the property to the US Navy, and the area was initially used as a flight school...by 1947 it was decided the overcrowded Naval Postgraduate School in Annapolis need a new home, so it was moved to Monterey and opened in 1951. The original Pebble Beach 17 Mile Drive began and ended here at the Del Monte Hotel.
The Monterey County Weekly "Best Of 2006 Readers' Picks" named the Naval Postgraduate School as the best Place to Work in Monterey County!
