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