intercollegiate varsity sports, 11 intramural sports and 12 club 

sports.

Dear Prospective Candidates: 

Since 1845 more t.han 60,000 young men and women have successfully 

completed "four years by the Bay" to take their hard-earned places in 

America's Naval service. Many Naval Academy graduates have achieved 

greatness and earned a special place in our nation's history during its 

struggle lo grow and preserve its freedom. Their names resonate -

Dewey, Halsey, King, Lejeune, Ni mil.�, Rickover, Spruance, Burke, 

Stockdale, Carter ... 

Their iourneys began at the United States Naval Academy. And every 

summer, Lhe future begins here with new journeys for 1,200 young people 

from all 50 �tales. 

Our midshipmen complete a four-year immersion program that 

educates them not only in the classroom, but also outside the classroom -

in Bancrort I lall, aboard sailboats and yard patrol craft, and on the athletic 

fields. ln Lhis "Leadership Laboratory," midshipmen cultivate skills that 

will enable them to excel when they reach their first assignments in the 

Navy and Marine Corps. 

We also emphasize the importance of building character in all aspects 

of our program. The Naval Academy offers a unique opportunity where young men and 

women - from a diversity of races, regions, soc10-econom1c groups and religions - gather 

in a special environment to learn and practice ideals that may often seem to be lacking in 

modern society. The result of this comprehensive process is a collective group of young 

leaders more morally, mentally and physically sound than any that could be produced m 

another environment. That is what distinguishes the U.S. i aval Academy and its 

graduates. 

Those of us who carry out the mission of the Naval Academy take pride in what we 

have accomplished, but we always strive to do better. We must always provide the Naval 

service,, ith leaders who demonstrate excellence in carrying out all their duties, but who do 

so with humility - achieving excellence without arrogance. We stand prepared to show the 

American people the value of the I aval Academy - the value added by the Naval 

Academy -to the securil'), the strength, the vision and the leadership of our nation. 

At the U.S. Naval Academy, the American people invest in the future of our nation. 

This 1s where we susl.ain the hopes Lhat our nation will continue to live in peace and liberty. 

This is where we mold young people who will protect the freedom cherished by this 

generation and all those yet to come. This is where we develop the leaders of tomorro\\ and 

cultivate and nurture our core values of courage, honor and commitment. This is where 

many of our nation's finest )'Oung people make the commitment to make the ultimate 

sacrifice when called upon, as so many have before them. This is where we accept 

responsibility for shaping a dsion of America's future.

Introduction 

United States Naval Academy 

As the undergraduate college of lhe Navy, the Naval Academy prepares 

young men and women to become professional officers in the U.S. Navy and 

Marine Corps. Naval Academy students are midshipmen on active duty in the 

U.S. Navy. They attend the academy for four years, graduating with bachelor 

of science degrees and commissions as ensigns in the Tavy or second 

lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Naval Academy graduates serve at least fi,·e 

years as Navy and Marine Corps officers. 

Around the Yard 

The scenic \Java! Academy campus, known as the Yard, is located in historic 

Annapolis, Md., \\'here the Severn River flows into the Chesapeake Bay \Vith 

its combination of early 20th-centur�, and modern buildings, the !\Java] 

Academy is a blend of tradition and state-of-the-art technology that 

c:--emplifies today's avy and Marine Corps. Throughout the Yard, 

tree-shaded monuments commemorate the bravery and heroism that are an 

inherent part of the academy's heritage. Buildings and \\'alkwavs are named 

for Naval Academy graduates who have contributed to naval history and their 

nation. 
The ,,n al ,\tadcm,· also is the final resting place of Rc\'olutionary \\ ar na,·al 

hero John Paul Jone.., whose \•:ords, "I ha\·e not ,·et begun to fight," h,l\L' 

in,p1red generations of US \Ja,, officers. His en pt is located beneath the 

,ic,1dem,· chapel also known as the Cathedral ot the '\a\'\· A ,ational 

1 ltstonc Site, the '\.,l\·al Academ,· hosts about one million tourists e,·en \'l'M

Naval Academy. In 1usl a few decades, lhe Navy has moved from a neet of sail 

and steam-powered ships to a high-tech neet with nuclear-powered 

submarines and surface ships and supersonic aircraft. The academy has 

changed, too, giving midshipmen the up-to-date academic and professional 

training they need to be effective naval officers in their assignments after 

graduation. 

In 1850 the Naval School became the United States Naval Academy. A new 

curriculum wenl 111Lo effect requiring midshipmen to study al the academy for 

four years and to lrain aboard ships each summer. That format is the basis of a 

far more advanced and sophisticated curriculum at the Naval Academy today. 

As the U.S. Navy grew over Lhe years, the academy expanded. The campus of 

10 acres increased lo 338. The original student body of 60 midshipmen grew to 

a brigade size of -1,000 midshipmen. Modern granite buildings replaced the 

old wooden structures of Fort Severn and the Naval School. 

Congress aulhorized the Naval Academy to begin awarding bachelor of 

science degrees in 1933. The academy laler replaced a fixed curriculum taken 

by all midshipmen with the present core curriculum plus 18 major fields of 

study, a wide variety of elective courses and ad\'anced study and research 

opporlunities. 

The Na\·al Academy first accepted women as midshipmen in 1976, when 

Congress authorized the admission of women to all of the service academies. 

Women comprise aboul 15-17 percent of entering plebes - or freshmen -- and 

they pursue the same academic and professional training as do their male 

classmates. 

Mission 

The Naval Academy has a unique clarity of purpose, expressed in our official 

mission; ''To de\'elop m1dsh1pmen morally, mentally and physically and to 

imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to 

provide graduates who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have 

potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest 

responsibilities of command, citizenship and government." This puts e\'eryone 

- faculty, staff and midshipmen -- on the same wavelength. It also encourages

a sense of spint and pride found at few other schools.

Program 

The moral, mental and physical elements of our program are equally 

important, all contributing to the qualities of an outstanding a\·al officer. 

Academics 

Every midshipman's academic program begins with a core curriculum that 

includes courses in engineering, science, mathematics, humanities and social 

science. This is designed to give you a broad-based education lhat will qualif� 

you for practically any career field in the i a\'y or Marine Corps. At the same 

time, our majors program gives you the opportunity to develop your 

particular area of academic interest. 

For especially capable and highly motivated students, we offer challenging 

honors programs and opportunities to start work on postgraduate degrees 

while still at the academ}. 
Professional and leadership training 

\\ e don t 1ust tell \'OU about life 111 the \.an and \1arine Corp'>. Alter four 

n•ar., at the '\a\'al Academ\', the life ,,nd customs of the naval sen tee become 

st•cnnd natun.· fir-,t, you learn to take orders from pracltc,1lly e\ervone but, 

before long, you acquire the responsibility for making decision, that can affect 

hundred-; of other midshipmen. Your professional classroom studic-. arc 

backed by man�· hour-. of practical experience 111 leadership ,,nd na\·al 

operations, including ,,s.,ignments \\'Ith '-an· and :\larine Corps units during 

summer months. 

Moral Cducation 

\!oral ,md ethical de\·elopment is a fundamental clement of all ,1spt•Lls of the 

\.a\·al ,\cadcmy e'<perience As future officers in the '\a\'\ or \1arine Corps, 

m1d-.hipmen will someda\' be respon.,1ble for the priceless li\'es of mam men 

and women and multi-m1ll1011 dollar equipment. from Plebe Summl'r through 

gr,,duation, the '\;a\·al Acadl'mv's Character Development Program is a four 

year integrated continuum that focuses on the ,1ttributes of 111tegrity, honor, 

,1ml mutual respect. One of the goals of this program is to de\'elop 

midshipmen who possess a clearer sense of their own moral beliefs and the 

,1bility to articulate them. I lonor 1s \'mphasized through the I lonor Concept ol 

the Brigade of :\11dsh1pmen -- a system which \\'as originally formulated in 

19:;1 and states "M1dsh1pmen are persons of integrity the�· stand tor that 

\\'h1ch is right" These \;a\'a( Academ\· "" ords to li\'l' by" arc based on the 

morn( \'alu\'s of respect for hum,m dignity, respect for hont•sty and respect for 

the property of others. Brigade I lonor Committws composed of elected

Our Commitment 

Selling apart the Naval Academy from almost every other college and 

university in the country is our commitment to the total development of our 

students. Some other colleges offer more majors in academics. Some put more 

emphasis on intercollegiate athlehcs. But nowhere else do you have a beller 

opportunity to grow intellectually, personally and physically than at the 

Naval Academy. If you are chosen to enter the Naval Academy, we believe 

you can complete this tough, four-year program. In fact, we are committed to 

the principle of helping every midshipman succeed. We back up that 

commitment with .. 

• small class size. Most classes have no more than 22 students. When you 

are an upperclassman, some courses in your major may have only five to 

10 other students.

• low student-to-faculty ratio Faculty members get lo know you personally

111 and out of the classroom. They also are available to help with extra

instruction or special projects. It's not unusual to find professors and 

midshipmen burning the late-night oil together in an academy research 

lab or at a computer tennmal.

• protected <;tudy time. Evcnmg study period is reserved from 7:30 p.m. to 

midnight Sunday through Friday to help all midshipmen keep up with 

their comses. Additionally, Nimitz Library, computer labs and other

facilities are open for midshipmen use all day and evening, seven days a

week 

• academic advising. To help you plan your curriculum, you get group and 

mdindual counseling as well as an academic adviser early in plebe year. 

A permanent faculty adviser is assigned when you select your major. 

• leadership and counseling. Your company officer and senior midshipmen

also guide, monitor and evaluate your progress in academics,

military performance and conduct. They also arc ready to help in the

event of problems, as arc the academy's staff of d1aplains and

professional counselorb.

• a sponsor program. Hundreds of families in the Annapolis area sponsor

newly-arrived midshipmen, offering a home away from home and a place

to relax off-campus. More than enough tamilies volunteer to give every

midshipman a local sponsor. These contacts often grow into deep

fnendships that last a lifetime.

Your Commitment 

Becoming a midshipman al the Naval Acadcm) is a big step. ll's not like 

starling your freshman \'ear at a ci\ ilian college. 'i ou make a commih11ent to 

li\·e a mililarv hfesl) le. You take an oath of office, promising to be loyal to 

your country and lo defend it if necessary. You agree to be honorable in 

everything you do and sav. You're also e:--pccted to work harder than you've 

ever worked before and to push yourself beyond your old limits. This is how 

we prepare you for the challenging responsibilities of service as a Naval 

officer and the opportunities of a lifetime in the Navy and l\larine Corps.

Ad111issions 

Compel1llon lo become a midshipman is keen, but if you have prepared 

yourself for a challenging, multi-dimensional four-year program and want to 

serve with distinction as a leader in the Navy or Marine Corps, you should 

apply. 

Applying Lo enter the Naval Academy is a thorough process. Besides reviewing 

your academic record, our admissions board will evaluate your medical and 

dental health, physical fitness, leadership potential and moti,·ation to be a 

midshipman and an officer in the naval service. You must be recommended by 

teachers, interviewed by an academy representative and nominated b) at least 

one of the nomination sources. Do not let the nomination requirement scare 

you; we'll help you through the nomination process starting on page 16. 

We want to ensure that the best qualified candidates from around the United 

States are selected for admission and that those who arc selected have the drive 

and motivation to complete the four-year program and excel as Navy and 

Marine Corps officers. All candidates have an equal opportunity, and eligible 

men and women are strongly encouraged to apply. The number of minority 

group members in recent years has risen to 20-22 percent of each class entering 

the academy. Women make up about 15-17 percent of each new class.

The \.av al Academy is unique in that we attempt to select and admit voung men and 

women for a career, not just a college 

'\!embers of the Admissions Board spend countless hours reviewing candidate 

records. This is a tough 10b because ot the divers1t� of candidates. They are achievers· 

highly moti,·ated, well-rounded students who excel not onh academically, but also 

111 athletics and other activities. The ma1orit) will enter directly from high school. but 

others will come from college or prep school programs or from serving as enlisted 

Sailors and \larines in the na\'al service 

I personally believe that all of the candidates we accept can successlullv complete the 

program 1f they maintain their desire and motivation In I act, for the last 10 years, we 

have averaged a graduation rate of o,-cr 76 percent. 1 think this is attributable to the 

combination of our taking great care lo match candidates to our program, and then 

helpmg them succeed while they are here"

Selection for Appointment 

We use a selection process known as Rolling Admissions. As soon as all of your 

candidate packet forms are received, the Admissions Board will determine your 

scholastic (whole person) qualification. If your record of achievement is truly 

outstanding you could receive our form of an early offer (called a Letter of 

Assurance) which guarantees you an Offer of Appointment once your 

remaining requirements (nomination, PAE, or medical) are successfully 

completed. A Letter of Assurance could be received as early as September of 

your senior year. 

If you are found scholastically qualified but do not receive a Letter of Assurance 

you will be competing for an Offer of Appointment from within your 

nominating sources. Approximately 2,000 candidates are found fully qualified 

(scholastic, medical, PAE, and have obtained a nomination) each year. Of that 

number, about 1,500 receive appointments and 1,180 become midshipmen. All 

candidates will be notified of their status by April 15. We expect all appointees 

lo accept or decline by May 1. Candidate files not completed b)' March 1 will not 

receive further consideration.

When you accept an appointment, we send you several important documents 

and forms lo consider and complete. One of the most important is the

Sections 6959 and 2005) and other directives, outlines your service obligation

consent of parents or guardian if you are a minor. In signing the Agreement to 

Serve, you slate that you will: 

• complete the four-year course of instruction at the 1\Javal Academ}.

• accept an appo111tmcnl and serve as a commissioned officer in the aval

Reser\'e or t-.larine Corps Reserve. i

obligations of eight years and five of those years will be served in an active

duly status immediately upon graduation.

of lhe Navy or Marine Corps and remain therein until the eighth

Alternate Routes to Admission 

If you are not selected for a direct appointment to the Naval Academy, the 

academy's admissions board automatically considers you for selection to the 

'-Java I Academy Preparatory School or recommends you for a Naval Academy 

Foundation preparatory school scholarship. You do not need to apply directly 

for either preparatory program. 

aval Academy Preparatory School { APS) 

lAPS offers a 10-month college preparatory course to regular and reser"e 

Navy and Marine Corps enlisted men and women who are seeking Naval 

Academv appointments. This program is designed to strengthen the academic 

background of incoming candidates. 1 avy and Marine Corps personnel who 

apply but arc not appointed lo the 1 avaJ Academy are automatically 

considered for admission to NAPS. The academv also identifies a number of 

promising and highly motivated civilian candidates who are not successful on 

their first allempt at admission and offers them the opportunity to enlist in the 

Naval Reserve for the e,pres� purpose of attending NAPS to prepare for 

admission to the Naval Academy. 

U.S. aval Academy Foundation 

The U.S. Naval Academy Foundation, Inc., also helps promising candidates 

who arc not appointed in their first try for admission. This nonprofit 

organization awards a limited number of scholarships for post-high school 

preparatory studies to enhance those candidates' qualifications for admission. 

The Naval Academv s admissions board autom

aticalh• recommends 

candidates lo the r-oundation for sponsorship consideration. 'o ::;pecial request

certainlv challenged academically, but, in addition, they must meet the rigors of tough 

plwsical training, mandaton athletic participation and demanding leadership positions

All midshipmen live m Bancroft Hall, a huge dom1itory complex. '\ ou are 

assigned to a room with one or more midshipmen and live in close pro"1mit) 

to about 130 other m1dsh1pmen in your company. Men and women 

midshipmen from all four classes make up each company. Each company has 

its own Ji,·ing area, called the wardroom, for meetings and recreation. 

The company is the most important unit of the -4,000-member Brigade of 

Midshipmen. Many of your most rewarding experiences at the Naval 

Academy are those you share with members of your company. You eat, sleep, 

study, drill, play and compete as teams with your company mates. You learn 

to trust and rely on each other. And you pull together to get through rough 

times. The company experience also gives you an idea of how things work in 

the Navy and Manne Corps, where small-unit cohesion, teamwork and 

morale are as important in peacetime operations as in combat. The year-long 

color competition among the 30 companies is one way company spirit is built. 

Companies accumulate points for academic, professional and intramural 

excellence. The company with the most points is recognized at the Color 

Parade during Commissioning \Veek and then enjoys special privileges for the 

next year, including the honor of representing the Naval Academy at official 

functions such as presidential inaugurations.

Plebe Summer 

All midshipmen begin the four-year program with Plebe Summer, a period 

designed lo turn civilians into midshipmen. Plebe Summer is no gentle easing 

into the military routine. Soon after entering the gate on Induction Day, you 

are put into uniform and taught how to salute by the first class midshipmen 

and officers who lead the plebe indoctrination program. For the next seven 

weeks, you start your days at dawn with an hour of rigorous exercise and end 

them long after sunset, wondering how you will make il through the next day. 

Forget television, leisure time or movies. You v. ill have barely enough hours 

111 the day Lo finish your assigned plebe tasks. 

The frantic, exhausting pace of Plebe Summer leads you somewhere. lt gets 

you ready for your responsibilities when the brigade returns from summer 

tra1n111g and the academic year begins. The summer also builds the foundation 

for the tangible and intangible qualities that make an outstanding naval 

officer. You learn self-discipline. You learn to organize your time and decide 

which things are most important. You reach top physical condition. You 

develop your ability to think dearly under stress and to react quickly when 

the unexpected comes your way. Any officer who has stood the watch on the 

bridge of a ship in a storm or landed a jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier at 

night can tell you the importance of these qualities. 

Plebe Summer introduces vou to the basic how-to's of the Navv as well. 

Aboard Naval Academy sailboats, you learn to respect the power of wind and 

current. In motor boats and yard patrol craft, you learn the basics of 

seamanship, na, igation and boat handling. On the weapons range, you learn 

how to fire small arms safclv and acet1ratelv. You also learn whv we have 

high standards of honor, character and mor�lity And, you begin to de\'elop 

your own ideas about leadership and the techniques that will make you an 

effective leader when your tum comes. 

Academic year 

When the upperclassmen return to the academy in late August to begin the 

academic year, you begin a routine that becomes \'ery familiar du.ring vour 

four years. A typical weekday schedule looks something like th.is: 

5:30 a.m. 

6:30 a.m. 

6:30 - 7:00 a.m.

When vou add to this schedule the time required for military duties,

demands on }'Our time are considC'rable. 

Leadership Responsibility 

As you progress through the years at the academy, leadership responsibilities 

grow. Each _year, you and your classmates assume more important roles in 

running your company, your battalion and the brigade. By the time you are a 

first class midshipman, you are making daily decisions affecting the morale 

and performance of other midshipmen. You are teaching them the 

fundamentals of the naval profession and helping them through difficulties. 

You arc leading them through personal example, communications, rewards 

and discipline and other techniques you have learned in the classroom and 

through three vears' experience. Your leadership responsibilities also increatie 

in summer professional training. After learning what it is like to be a sailor 

aboard ship during youngster cruise, you undertake the duties of a 1unior 

officer during your first-class summer assignment. 

You build your leadership skills in these and other settings, where you can 

learn from mistakes and benefit from the guidance of seasoned Navv and 

Marine Corps officers. By the time you take your position as a naval officer 

responsible for leading talented Sailors and Marines, you know what 

leadership techniques and styles work best for you in different situations. 

Religious Activities 

The copper-green dome of the Chapel towers over the other buildings 111 the 

Yard at the Naval Academ) and, in a sense, serves as a symbol of Annapolis 

to the outside world. This is more than a coincidence. Over the decades of our 

histon, fightmg Americans have learned by experience that there is a 

dimension to military leadership - both in and out of combat -- that 1s 

essential to real effectiveness. This is the spiritual factor, the intangible quality 

we call moral courage. 

Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Orthodox and Christian Scientist services, in both 

traditional and contemporary form, are held each week at the academ). 

Midshipmen also may attend any or the churches in the community. While 

attendance at religious services is optional, midshipmen are reminded that as 

officers of the naval service their personal beliefs will often be tested and that 

111 time or stress their subordinates \\ ill look to them for spirihrnl as well as 

professional guidance. The 1\Javal Academy has long believed that future 

officers owe it to themselves and to those the� will lead to gain insights into 

moral, ethical and spiritual dimensions of militarv leadership. Midshipmen 

arc encouraged to take full advantage of opportunities for worship and moral 

development at the academy. From the first day of Plebe Summer until Lhe 

day or commissioning four years later, the academy's staff of seven chaplains 

serves and ministers to the needs of the Brigade of Midshipmen. Among other 

things, they provide personal counseling, ranging from faith-centered issues 

through crises or life and death lo future marriage plans. 

In cxcrcismg a ministry of "presence" throughout the daily life of the brigade, 

ch,1pla111s sponsor and participate 111 Bible studies, prayer groups and religious 

mstruction classes. They visit in company areas and are involved in a host or

other brigade activities -- all of which are designed to share and build lashng 

sp1nlual resources and to cultivate the strength and inspiration that comes 

from a deeply personal relationship with God. 

Recreation 

All midshipmen are encouraged to take part in one or more of the academy's 

many clubs and extracurricular acti\'ities. For plebes especially, these activities 

help to relie\'e the stress of academics and the tough military routine. After 

plebe year, vour free lime increases to relax, pursue personal interests, date 

and e,plore the local area. There's much to see and do in Annapolis, Baltimore 

and V\ ashington, D.C. There also arc man�' cultural, social and sports ach\·ities sponsored by the academy. 

Spectator sports 

On autumn weekends, the excitement and color of Navy football sweeps the 

brigade. All midshipmen attend home games in \!avy-1\larine Corps 

Memorial Stadium. Groups of midshipmen also attend most a11 ay games. The 

football season ends with the whole brigade cheering on the team in the 

traditional Army-Navy game. There are 28 other varsity Navy teams to cheer 

on, as well. Outstanding spectator facilities bring out enthusiastic Na\')' 

supporters for almost every rivalry from wrestling and s11 imming to lacrosse, 

basketball, soccer and baseball. 
Plebe Sponsor Program 

During Plebe Summer, every midshipman is introduced to an Annapolis-area 

family that has volunteered to host midshipmen for dinners, local sightseeing, 

recreation and simple relaxation away from the demands of the Yard. Many 

sponsor relationships last long beyond the academy years. 

Social events 

The Brigade Activities Committee plans several special weekends during the 

rear, including events like the annual International Ball with young guests 

from foreign embassies in Washington. Midshipmen groups also plan and 

participate in theatrical events, concerts and dinners. Senior naval officers join 

midshipmen regularly for traditional mess nights featuring formc1l rules of 

order, formal toasts, skits and fines. Individual companies of midshipmen 

often organize their own special activities on weekends. Certainly the 

highlight of our social calendar is Commissioning Week in May -- five days of 

dances, garden parties, parades, concerts, sailing and a Blue Angels flight 

demonstration leading to graduation and commissioning of midshipmen first 

class.

Cultural Affairs Program 

We lake advantage of our proximity to Washington and Baltimore to arrange 

tickets and transportation lo cultural events in those metropolitan areas. Plays, 

symphonies, operas and ballets at Washington's Kennedy Center and other 

theatres are open to midshipmen from all classes. 

With the Bob I lope Performing Arts Center at Alumni Hall, the Naval 

Academy is able to provide a wide variety of theatrical and concert events to 

midshipmen. The Distinguished Artists Series, which presents performers of 

international renown, is the centerpiece of the program. Masqueraders 

productions, musicals, glee club concerts, chapel organ recitals, popular music 

concerts, Naval Academy Band concerts and chamber music recitals round out 

the action-packed year of events. Many other cultural activities, including 

poetry readings and lectures by leading American authors, are offered at the 

academy. 

Extracurricular Activities 

Even with a midshipman's demanding academic and athletic schedule, you 

will have time for extracurricular activities (ECAs). We have more than 70 that 

give midshipmen a chance to share recreational, professional and athletic 

interests. Most of the ECAs are run by midshipmen.

Midshipmen Pay and Benefits 

The Navy pays for the tuition, room and board, and medical and dental care 

of Naval Academy midshipmen. You also enjoy regular active-duty benefits 

including access to military commissaries and exchanges, commercial 

transportation and lodging discounts and the ability to fly space-available in 

military aircraft around the world. Midshipmen pay is $558.04 monthly, from 

which laundry, barber, cobbler, activities fees, yearbook and other service 

charges are deducted. Actual cash pay is less than $100 per month your first 

year, increasing each year to over $300 per month in your fourth year. 

Midshipmen may voluntarily sign up for the Midshipmen Investment Fund 

(MIF) which will allow you to invest a portion of your monthly pay. 

Participation in this program for four years allows you to save over $1,800 by 

graduation. 

Leave and Privileges 

The Naval Academy's combined academic, military and physical 

development programs demand a lot of effort, requiring you to spend more 

ltme on campus than the typical civilian college student. But midshipmen 

en1oy Christmas and summer vacations (leave) plus shorter periods of time 

off (liberty). Free time to be away from the academy is based in large part on 

assigned military responsibilities, performance in academic and military 

endeavors and class seniority. You earn more Liberty and privileges each year 

you advance at the academ). All midshipmen generally are granted leave 

during these periods:

• a month-long summer vacation for all but new plebes, staggered

according lo the summer's professional training schedule.

During semesters of the academic year, off-campus privileges fall into two 

categories: town liberty and weekend liberty. Weekend liberty permits you to 

leave the academy after your last class on Friday and return Sunday evening. 

Liberty curfews differ according to seniority. You are not eligible for liberty if 

you are assigned a military watch (rotated responsibilities) or if you are 

having serious difficult\• in academics, conduct or military performance. 

Generally, town and weekend liberty is authoriLed for midshipmen as 

follows: 

• Plebes have town liberty on Saturday afternoons and evenings and 

liberty within the l\Javal Academy complex on Saturday mornings and

Sundav afternoons. Special weekend liberty may be granted on special

occasions.

• Three liberty weekends each semester are authorized for third-classmcn,

si, a semester for second-classmcn.

• First-classmen have town liberty all day Saturday, Sunday morning and

aftl.'rnoon. They also have weekend liberty, in consonance with

assigned milita�y watches.

Motor vehicles 

Restrictions apply to your use of motor vehicles as a midshipman. This is 

necessary because parking space is very limited at the academy and in 

Annapolis. Also, you have limited time off in the first years to make use of a 

private vehicle. These are the current rules: 

• Third-class Midshipmen and plebes are not permitted to operate motor

vehicles except when authorized leave, such as during Christmas

vacation.

• Second-class midshipmen may have a car but must maintain and operate

it beyond academy grounds.

• First-class midshipmen may drive a car in Annapolis and on board the

Naval Academy and may park at the academy.

• No midshipman is allowed to maintain or operate a motorcycle within

town libert} limits.

Alcohol and drugs 

As a future naval officer, you learn al the Naval Academy to drinJ.. in a 

responsible way, if at all, and to shun illegal drugs entirely. Normally, plebes 

are not allowed lo consume alcoholic beverages except when of legal age and 

on leave away from the academy. As an upperclass midshipman, you may 

drink ii vou are the minimum legal age for drinking in the state, 21 in 

Mmyland. The use of illegal drugs is strictly forbidden and results in 

expulsion trom the academy. As a midshipman, you are subject to random 

drug testing through urinalysis, consistent with Navy-wide policies and 

procedures. 

Services 

Almost everything you need as a midshipman is available on the academy 

grounds. There's a bookstore, uniform and tailor shop, cobbler shop, snack 

bar, barber/beauty shop, post office and recreation rooms. \Ve also provide 

the following sen·ices: 

Recreational Facilities 

The Naval Academ� has a wide variety of activities which are available to 

midshipmen. Located in historic Dahlgren Hall are the Drydock Restaurant 

and the ice skating rinl-. - home of the Navy hockey team. The Steerage 

Restaurant is located in Bancroft Hall. 

Dining 

The entire brigade eats at one time in a 55,000-square-foot dining area or 

wardroom, King Hall. Companies sit together, and food is served famj[y-style 

for luncl1 and Sunday night dinners. All other meals are served buffet style. 

The typical daily diet adds up to about 4,000 calories and includes such dishes 

as steak, spiced <;hrimp, Mexican cuisine and home-bal-.ed pastries. All of the 

food for the 12,000 meals served daily is prepared by our food service staff m 

the kitchens adjacent to King Hall. 

Medical and dental care 

Modern facilities for medical and dental treatment are con\'enienlly located at 

the Na\·al Academy. Besides routine medical treahnent and comprehensive 
dental e11re, orthopedics/ sports medicine, podiatry, phvsical therapy, 

gynecology and preYentive medicine and optometry sen ices are available. 

Specialists 111 dermatology and allergies provide care during �cheduled visits 

to the academy. Consultation and treatment in virtually all major medical and 

surgical specialties arc available at the National Capital Area military

treatment facilities. Midshipmen requiring more definitive inpatient cart' are 

normally conveved to the National Capital Arca military treatrnl'nt facilities. 

Exceptions lo this are hospitalizations for orthopedic procedures and for 

emergency conditions, which are usually arranged at Anne Arundel Medical 

Ct'ntcr, a fully accredited civilian facility in Annapolis. 

Midshipmen Counseling Center 

A full range of counseling services is offered to help midshipmen with 

adjustment, interpersonal and stress related problems. lndividual and group 

counseling, as well as services for special needs arc provided by doctoral level 

psychologists.

and military legal questions. 

Financial advice 

Regular seminars offer information on savings, loans, insurance programs, 

im·estment opportunities and tax returns. Individual financial coW1Seling is

Degree Awarded 

upon graduation, you are awarded a bachelor of science degree, regardless of 

your maior, because of the technical content of the core curriculum. Those in the 

top 10 percent of their class graduate with distinction. Those who have completed special honors programs in one of si>- selected majors graduate wilh 

honors. 

Educational Philosophy 

The Naval Academy's philosophy of education stresses attention to individual 

students b, high!_; qualified faculty members who are strongly committed to 

teaching. You won't get lost in the classroom at the Naval Academy. Classes are 

small, generally ranging in size from 10 to 22 students. E,·en the core courses 

required of all midshipmen are divided into small sections. You get individual 

attention from vour instructor. ln science and engineering courses, the same 

professor who lectures in the classroom supen·ises e:-.periments in the lab. This 

contrasts sharply with most uni,•ersities, where scholars may address their 

">tudents in huge lecture halls, but dtrect contact with undergraduates in labs or 

discussion sections is delegated to graduate assistants. All courses at the "Java! 

Academv are taught and graded by faculty members, not by graduate 

assistants.

Faculty 

Our 600-member faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in nearly 

equal numbers. This composition is unique among service academies. It dates 

from the earliest days of the Naval School when three civilian teachers joined 

four Navy officers in the first faculty. Officers rotate to the academy for two- to 

three-year assignments, bringing fresh ideas and experiences from operational 

urnts and staffs of the Navy and Marine Corps. They can also explain how 

studies al the academy are applied in the 0eet and the field. The academy's 

civilian faculty members give continuity to the educational program and form 

a core of professional scholarship and teaching experience. Nearly aJl of these 

civilians have doctoral degrees, and many of them are recognized as leading 

scholars in their fields. Working together dosely, these military and civilian 

faculty members form one of the strongest and most dedicated teaching 

faculties of any college or university in the United States. Although many 

faculty members are involved in scholarly research and writing, their first 

priority always is teaching. 

Academic Advising 

Midshipmen receive as much help as they need in planning their academic 

programs. The academic advising system has two stages. During Plebe Summer 

each company of plebes is assigned a faculty member, either military or civilian, 

to act as its adviser. Each plebe receives academic counseling including basic 

study skills information prior to the commencement of the academic year. 

Advising continues throughout the year as often as necessary. \'\'hen a major is 

selected in the spring of plebe year, midshipmen are assigned a permanent 

faculty adviser from the academic department of that major. Professors and 

company officers are extremely helphil in providing academic counseling and 

advice to midshipmen. 

Core Curriculum 

In four years at the Naval Academv, vou are required to take certain core 

courses to make sure you are well prepared for the major career-path options 

available Lo Navy and Marine Corps officers. Core requirements also prepare 

_\·ou for advanced professional training and postgraduate education which are 

expected of nearlv all naval officers. Through required courses in engineering, 

natural sciences, social sciences, the humartities, professional military subjects 

and physical education, the Naval Academy gives you a balanced education to 

open practically any door of opportunity in the future. 

During plebe or freshman year, nearly all courses are required. The required 

courses form the foundation for the more advanced courses d1osen by 

upperclass midshipmen. Some core requirements in the upperclass years ha\'e 

alternative courses from which to choose, depending on your academic 

background, abilities and major. 

The typical academic schedule for plebes includes five courses in each of two 

semesters: 

Plebe year, first semester -16 credit hours

Advanced Placement 

More than half of those entering the Naval Academy validate one or more 

courses. This \'alidation is attributable to pre\'ious college-level achie,·emcnt. 

Each of the academy's academic departments sets its own validation standards 

and considers one or more of the following: 

• transcripts; 

• department validation tests, administered at the Naval Academy; and 

• College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Achievement and 

Advanced Placement tests.

If you validate a course, you can enroll in a sequential course in the same 

subject, take care of another curriculum requirement or carry a lighter academic 

load. In any case, you must take a minimum of 15 credit hours each semester 

and spend a total of four years in residence at the \!aval Academy to complete 

professional courses and training. 

Midshipmen who take advantage of validation in their early years ru1d meet 

high standards of academic performance may pursue independent research, 

honors programs or master's degree studies in their fourth year at the 

academy. 

Majors Program 

The Naval Academy is strongly oriented toward science and engineering, and 

the majority of graduates are engineers or technical majors. For those students 

with backgrounds or overriding interests in other fields of study, a broad majors 

program in those social sciences and humanities that can be reasonably related 

to the na\·al profession is offered. 

Near the end of plebe year, you choose a major course of study with the aid and 

support of academic and military advisers. A total of 18 majors is offered: 

Aerospace Engineering 

Chemistrv 

Computer Science 

Economics 

Electrical Engineering 

English 

General Engineering 

General Science 

1 listory 

Marine Engineering 

Mathematics 

Mechanical Engineering 

Naval Architecture 

Ocean Engineenng 

Oceanography 

Physics 

Political Science 

Systems Engineering 

Some of these areas offer addtttonal specialization within the major. For 

example, recognizing that the Navy is an important user of space vehicles and 

satellites, the Naval Academy created an astronautics track within the 

aerospace engineering major to help prepare midshipmen for assignments with 

the Navy Space Command and NASA.

from remote locations; and

• computer applications in all academic and professional programs.

All midshipmen must purchase a Naval Academy-speciiied personal desk-top 

micro-computer and software during Plebe Sum.mer. Aiter introductol) 

training, midshipmen use their personal computer in most academic courses 

and professional development. Employing the aval Academy Data Network, 

midshipmen use their personal computers to link to other computers 

throughout the academy, as well as to outside educational and commercial 

information sources, via the Internet. 
Writing Center

The vlath Lab is available to midshipmen to supplement meetings with their 

own instructors. Staffed with faculty members of the Mathematics Department, 

the Math Lab provides assistance in all core mathematics courses lo 

1111dsh1pmen v. ithout prior appointments throughout the academic day. 

Academic Center 

All midshipmen have access to the Academic Center, whid, offers academic 

aJv1s111g services and leammg skills classes. Students who encounter academic 

diffiwlty during plebe year are referred to the Academic Center where they 

receive special academic advising, academic effectiveness classes and tutoring. 

A series of learning skills classes, including topics such as time management, 

note taking, effective reading, test taking and how to cope with challenges, is 

offered several l1111es a year for mterested midshipmen. The Academic Center 

coordinates the Plebe Advismg Program where faculty members serve as the 

ad\·isors for a compan) of plebes during both Plebe Summer and academic 

vear.

Resources afloat 

The fundamentals of seamanship, navigation and naval operations are taught in 

laboratories afloat on our many sail and power craft. The Robert Crown Sailing 

Center on the Severn River supports many of these activities, as well as 

recreational, intercollegiate and offshore sailing. The Naval Academy's large 

and varied fleet includes: 

• 22 108-foot yard patrol craft;

• 16 IMCO sailboards and 20 Funboards;

• 100 Lasers;

• 24 -120 dinghies;

• 20 FJ dinghies;

• 30 24-foot Rainbow-class knockabouts;

• l2J-2-ls;

• 20 4-J.-foot sloops; and

• ten 40- to 60-foot offshore sail training craft.

The Naval Academy's sailing program is truly comprehensive. It ranges from 

basic instruction to advanced intercollegiate dinghy and international-level, 

open-ocean racing. A II midshipmen participate in sailing during Plebe Summer 

111 2-l-foot knockabouts, Lasers, -l-l-foot sloops and windsurfers. 

After Plebe Summer, midshipmen may take part in advanced training under 

sail and recreational or competiti\·e sailing. Both the Naval Academy's varsity 

sailing programs and its intercollegiate and off-shore/ocean 'big boat" racing 

programs are consistentl) top-ranked nationally. 
Professional Courses and Training 

Proless1onal courses and training arc an important part of the Naval Academy's 

111tegrated program. Requued courses in such areas as naval science, 

engineering. navigation and weapons systems give you a working knowledge 

of modern naval operations and technology. Courses in leadership and military 

law help prepare you for leadership responsibilit-ies as an upperclass 

midshipman and a commissioned officer. Physical education Leaches you the 

value of physical fitness and staying fit for life. Eight weeks of annual summer 

training introduces you to operational units of the Navy and Marine Corps, life 

at sea and the responsibilities of a junior officer. 

Courses available as electives include leadership and psychology. Also 

a\'aalable are extracurricular programs sud, as the Yard Patrol Craft Squadron 

and the Command Seamanship Training Squadron (CSTS).

Character Development 

The academy has a deep and abiding commitment to the ethical growth of its 

midshipmen. Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy and the Superintendent 

of the Naval Academy in 1994 established the Character Development Division. 

Its m1ss1on is lo provide oversight and coordination 111 the establishment of an 

integrated, academy-wide, four-year Character Development Program with 

particular focus on the associated attributes of honor, integrity and mutual 

respect. The goal of this division and the Naval Academy's Character 

Development Plan is to reinforce the values of honor, respect and responsibilit) 

that permeate all Naval Academy activities by integrating the moral-ethical 

development of midshipmen within and across the Naval Academy mission 

clements. 

Several key clements of this plan that will affect all midshipmen at the academy 

include: • Plebe S11111111er Trni11i11g Pinn provides 18 lcssons specifically dedicated to

honor, character and core values. Interactive seminars are led bv members

of the Brigade Honor Staff and human relations trainers. Topic� include:

the Brigade Honor Concept and Honor Treatise, interpersonal relations,

discrimination, conflict resolution, stress management, Department of the

Navy core values, and ethics. • H11111a11 Erl11catio11 Resource Officers (HER Os) are specially trained

midshipmen who serve the Brigade and chain of command as peer

resources and tramers in human relations issues. Last year HEROs assisted

111 training the Brigade of Midshipmen on numerous topics, including

suicide awareness and prevention, discrimination and responsible sexual

behavior. • Tfre Nnvnl Acnrle111y's Core Et/lies Course was established 1111995 to

provide midshipmen with additional 111sights into the traditions of ethical

thought, moral theory, moral reasoning that apply to the recent history of

the armed forces. Further, the course offers examples of practical

applications that midshipmen are likely to encounter at the academy and

in the fleet as junior officers. Thi,, three-credit-hour course, taught by the 

Department of Leadership, Ethics and Law lo all third class midshipmen,

examines virtues central to the military and the various ways in which

these ,·irh.1es can be justified and applied. • Integrity Develop111e11t Se111i11nrs reinforce and augment the moral-ethical

development of midshipmen in a monthly semmar format that is attended

by all members of the Brigade. These seminars are led by members of

Integrity Development Teams composed of speciaUy trained midshipmen,

officers and faculty. These teams are responsible for facilitating

informative, thought-provoking discussions on the topics ot ethics, honor

and integrity as the� relate to e,·eryday life. • Etl,ics Across t/ze C11rric1tl11111 is a program designed to expose

midshipmen lo ethical issues throughout thc-ir academic e,perience. All

academic courses have an ethical component of some kind, and this

program is a pervasive examination of ethical challenges and issues as

thev relate to all academic fields of study.

• Tire Four-Yenr Ho11or-[rlucntio11 Plnu -provides midshipmen with

additional education on the organization, functions and background of the

Honor Concept and Honor Treatise. Additionallr, time is devoted to

dealing with ethical decisions that midshipmen and junior officers face at 

the academy and in the fleet. • G11esl Spenkers on honor, ethics and character and the Na\'y's core

values are invited to speaJ... at the academy throughout Plebe Summer and

the academic year
Grading 

Grades have an added dimension at the Na\'al Academy in that they affect your 

status and privileges as a midshipman. As the major determinant of class rank, 

they also innuence ship selection or advanced training scheduling following 

service assignment and seniority upon graduation and commissioning. 

We use a letter grading system with these \·alues, called quality point 

equivalents, or QPE: 

A= 4.0 (Excellent) 

B = 3.0 (Good) 

C = 2.0 (Satisfactory) 

D = l .O (Marginal!;, pass111g) 

F = 0.0 (Failing) 

Grades are averaged using a weighted semester hour system called the quality 

point rating or QPR. Your QPR is figured by multiplying the QPE received in 

each course bv the semester hours of credit for the course. That total is divided 

by the total �umber of hours completed in the semester. You earn semester 

QPRs and a cumulative QPR (CQPR) based on all of your grades. 

Midshipmen must maintain a cumulative QPR of 2.0 or above or they risk 

academic probation or dismissal. As required by law, the Academic Board 

reviews the records of academicalJy deficient midshipmen. Midshipmen 

subject to academic discharge are those who fail h\·o or more courses; have a 

semester QPR below 1.5; fail to remove academic probation; arc two or more 

courses behind in the matrix of the assigned major; do not fulfill a requirement 

previously assigned by the academic board; or do not complete all graduation 

requirements by the end of the first-class year. 

Grades in military performance, conduct, physical education and summer 

professional training are not included in the QPR, but they are figured into class 

standing. Satisfactory performance in professional areas is required. 

Recognition of Excellence 

Three honor categories recognize midshipmen with outstanding academic and 

professional records: 

Superintendent's List -- midshipmen with semester QPR of at least 3.4 and no 

grade of D, F, I; grades of A in military performance, A in conduct and A or B 

in physical education. 

Dean's List -- midshipmen not on the Superintendent's List with semester QPR 

of 3.4 and no gradeof D, F I in any academic course; grades of at least a B in 

military performance, Bin conduct and A,B or C in physical education. 

Commandant's List - midshipmen with semester QPR of at least 2.9, grades of 

at least Bin military performance, A in conduct and Bin physical education.

Advanced Education 

Postgraduate education is encouraged for all naval officers and is practicaUy a 

requirement 111 today's Navy and MariJ1e Corps, which operate very 

�ophisticaled systems in a changing, complex world. Nearly all graduates go to 

advanced professional training en route to their first duty assignments. \Jew 

Manne Corps officers go lo The Basic School at Quantico, Va. Navy ensigns go 

lo surface warfare officer school, nuclear power school, flight training or other 

schools, depending on their chosen specialty and the nature of their first 

assignment. Professional training continues throughout your career. 

There also are several ways for Naval Academy graduates to earn advanced 

academic degrees besides the Voluntary Graduate Education Program (VGEP) 

discussed on page 53. Most officers are automatically considered for graduate 

school as they complete their first duty assignment. If selected, they can enter 

master's degree programs at lhe Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., 

or at an approved civilian university. Midshipmen with outstanding academic 

records can compete for a number of scholarships for postgraduate school right 

after graduation from lhe Naval Academy or after an initial operational 

assignment. There's also a program for up to 15 graduates a year who want to 

combine careers in medicine and the Navy. To prepare for this program, 

midshipmen usually major in chemistry and then enter civilian or armed forces 

medical schools soon after graduation and commissioning. 

The follm, ing graduate education programs are currently available: 

Na,)' Burke Program Qunior Line Officer Advanced Educational Program) -­

open to 15 qualified graduates in each class for study toward a master's degree 

in science or engineering. These studies, usual!} at the Naval Postgraduate 

School, begin after one operational tour of two to four years. 

�lanne Corps Burke Program - open to 15 graduates from each class who enter 

the Marine Corps. Graduate study begins appro>.imately hvo years after 

commissioning. Selectees may choose their field of study from an e:-.tensive list 

01 disciplines. 

Oceanography Jomt Master's Degree Program - one midshipman from each 

Naval Academy graduating class may be selected for a graduate program in 

oceanography at the Massachusetts institute of Technology/ Woods Hole 

Oceanographic Institution. This 27-month program leads to a master of science 

degree in oceanography and a Navy warfare specialty designation in 

oceanography 

Olmsled Foundation Scholarships - established by the George and Carol 

Olmsted Foundation in cooperation with the Department of Defense. These 

scholarships support two years of graduate education at foreign universities, 

using foreign languages, for Navy and Marine Corps officers. Two J\!aval 

Academy graduates who have served behveen two and ten years of active duly 

are eligible each year. 

William H.G. FitzGerald Scholarship - supports two years of graduate study at 

Oxford Univers1tv 111 England for one NaYal Academy graduate each year. 

Thomas Pownall Scholarship - supports two years of graduate study at 

Cambridge University in England for one Naval Academy graduate each year. 
Otto A Zipf Scholarship -- supports two years graduate study at the 

Ruprecht-Karl University of Heidelberg, Germany, for one Na\ al Academy 

graduate of each class. 

Captam t-.!arshall H. Cox/Captam A.H. Gaubart Fund -- supports summer 

travel and language study abroad by midshipmen and newly commissioned 

'\lava! Academy graduates. Programs are offered in Russian, Japanese, Spanish, 

French and German. 

Naval Academy graduates may qualify for a number of other sd1olarships and 

fellowships awarded for stud� at civilian colleges and universities. These 

graduate studies can be pursued 111 , arious fields while graduates receive pay 

as commissioned Navy and Marine Corps officers. Up to 25 members of ead1 

class can begm postgraduate studies under these scholarships immediately 

after graduating from the Na,·al Academy. Such scholarships include: 

Rhodes and Marshall Sd1olarships for two or three years of graduate study in 

any field leading to a master of arts or master of philosophy degree -- at Oxford 

for the Rhodes Scholarship or at anv university in Great Britain for the Marshall 

Scholarship -- \\ith all expenses prm ided for study and travel. Thirty-three 

midshipmen ha,·e won the Rhodes Scholarship since 1930, "·hen Navy 

participation began. There have been nine Marshall Sdlolars from the Naval 

Academy since 1981. 

Truman Scholarship for graduate study in any major, with emphasis on public 

service. Up to four m1dsh1pmen are nominated during their junior year. 

Guggenheim Fellowship (Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation) for 

graduate study at one of three major centers for research and den!lopment 111 

rocket propulsion, space flight and space flight structures. 

Hertz Fel101,·ship (Fannie and John Hertz Foundation) for graduate stud) in the 

applied plwsical sciences at a dloice of 20 uni,·ersities. 

:'\at1onal Science Foundation(. SF) Fellowship leading to a master of science or 

master of arts degree in the mathematical, physical, biological, engineenng, and 

soCial sciences and in the history and philosophy of science. 

Draper Laboratory Fellowships for graduate study 111 technical majors at 

'vlassachusetts Institute of Technology. 

Other scholarships in computer science, marine engineering, mechanical 

engineering, naval arcilJtecture, nuclC'ar engineering, ocean acoustics, 

oceanography and other areas.

Department of Mechanical Engineering 

Mechanical Engineering Major 

The mechanical engineering major, accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of 

the Accreditation Board for engineering and Technology, offers one of the most di\'ersified 

engineering programs a, ailable at the Naval Academ, In addition to an education in mechamcal 

cnginl'enng, the program prepares its graduates to assume responsibilities in any of the the 

warforc specialties of the U.S. \/avy and U.S. Marine Corps. lnmmediate graduates will be in 

positions of resplinsibilitv involving the operation and maintenance oi high technology weapons 

systems. As officers progress through their career, many will assume positions of responsibility 

as managers of weapons systems de\'clopment and procurement. This dictates a program that 

emphasizes a broad spectrum of undergraduate studies. The program thus includes study in solid 

and rtuid mcchanics, ci\"namics, thermodynamics and energy systems, materials engineering and 

a significant emphasis on electTical engineering and control systems iundamenta6. 

Though graduates, as commissioned officers, are not designers, the program takes seriously the 

need to de\'elop in its graduates a sound understanding oi the design process and its importance 

in the success of engineering acti\'ity. Design education in the program is focused through a series 

of four �equcnlial courses, beginning in the first semester of the jumor year (EM373, EM371, 

El\1./77, EM./72), which are the design backbone. In each semester, other courses which are more 

oiten identified wilh the analysis ot engineering science prodde direct support to the design 

backbone through problems and small projects that build on concepts and tools developed m the 

design backbone. In this manner, the subject of design and design tools are woven into the 

program as integrated cngu1eering activity 

A !\.a\'\ or Marine Corps officer with a bachelor's degree in med1anical engineering is well 

equipped for a wide varietv ol career assignments both ashore and afloat. Operational sea billets 

in surtace ships, submarines and aircraft squad runs provide many opportunities for a mechanical 

engineer to develop practical e>.perience 111 a warfare or engineering specialtv area while 

contributing lo fleet engineering and material readiness. The opcratilmal en\'ironment enables a 

junior officer lo rapidlv develop sound leadership and managerial abilities while refining 

mechanical engineering capabilities acquired al the ,aval Acadenw 
Ashore, the mechanical engineer has ,, wide range of opportunities in subspccialt) billets with 

na\'al apphcahons. These mclude such areas as ,hip and atrcrall design. propulsion svstems, 

environmental s,·stems, advanced engineering education, major project management and 

weapons svstcms acqu1s1tion. Just as there is an abundant and continuing ncl'd for mechanical 

engmo?ers throughout today's naval service, there is also great potential for ,1 s<ltis[ving, rewarding 

and productl\'C career

Marine Engineering 

Marine Engineering Major 

The m,rnne engineering maJor 1s accredited by the Engmeering Accreditation Commission of the 

AccreJ1tation Board for Engineering ,md Technology The major is concerned with the analysis 

and design of energy systems. Energy -- Its shortage, its elficient use and pollution caused by its 

use - arc problems tackled by the m.mne engineer. The marine engineer's task is to develop 

propulsion plants to move ships at optimum operational speeds while using as little fuel as 

possible. Improvements in efficiency of all types of power plants are needed - com·enttonal 

steam, gas turbine. diesel and nuclear. Today's marine engineers are also engaged in de\'elopmg 

new fuels and technologies. They are de, eloping lightweight reduction gears and 

superconducll\'e motors and generators. They are studying the feasibility of using closed-cycle 

helium turbines lor ship propulsion plants. 

\hdsh1pmen maioring m marine engineering develop a sound understanding oi the principles of 

ship design and construction; of problems invo)\'ed in analyzing and designing systems for use in 

the ocean em·ironmcnt; of the principles of fluid dynamics, heat transfer and reactor physics; and 

ot tlw techniques and methods utilized in power plant design and analysis. They ha,·e ample 

opporturnty t0 broaden this knowledge through participation in indi\·idua) and group design 

projects under the direction of faculty members representing a wide range of technical backgrounds and pr,1clical e\periencc. 

Among the outstandmg laboratory facilities a\'ailable to m,1rine engineers in Rickover Hall are a 

steam power pl..mt, gas turbmes and diesel engines, a sub-critical nuclear reactor and a 

high-energy neutron generator. A dedicated faculty and technical staff complement these facilities 

to pmdde one of the best programs in conventional and nuclear propulsion plants in lhe country 

A bachelor of scum,e degree in marine engineering 1s awarded.

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean Engmeermg holds Lhe key to the last ironlter on earth, the ocean depths. While marine 

scientists pro\·ide us with a basic knowledge of the ocean environment, the ocean engineer 

enables us lo use this environment more effecri,·ely. By blending the fundamentals of 

mathematics, physics, chemistry and oceanography with knowledge of Lhe engineering sciences, 

mcludmg ocean materials and wave mechanics, Lhe ocean engineer plans, designs and builds a 

\"ilrtet) of coastal, harbor. and offshore slruclures; underwater ,·ehicles and di,·er-support 

equipment. underwater ,1eoustic systems; ocean energy and other marine-related environmental 

s1·stems. lvlultidisciplinarv in nature, ocean engineering will appeal to civil, electrical, 

environmental and mechanical engineers who wish to practice 111 the ocean realm. 

The ocean engineering ma1or 1s accredited bv Lhe Engineering Accreditation Commission of the 

Accreditation Board for Engmeering and Technology. The major offers an integrnted program of 

stod\', us111g a balance between classroom theory, laboratory work and practical application 

pro,·iding midshipmen 1dth Lhe background to work effectively as c>cean engineers. Laboratory 

experiments are conducted in the 120-foot and 380-foot wave and towing tanks and coastal 

engineering basin. These are equipped with pneumatic wave-makers and instn,mented with 

sophisticated sensor, and on-line data acquisition and analvsis equipment. ,-\ circulating water 

channel, hypcrbaric lest raolity and an cm·1ronment,1l chamber are also a\"ailable. The Na\"al 

Academy's computer systems are used in sol\'ing design problems and preparing computer-aided 

designs. Supervising, directing and teaching this program is a team of professionals recognized

n,e ma1ors program in English offers studv of the most significant and influential writings of 

ci\'ihzation from ancient times to the present as well as Lhe opportunity for mdependent studv and 

for creatl\·e \\'ritmg projects. A bachelor of science degree is awarded. 

An honors program with a designated honors degree is a,ailable for selected students. Built on 

the premise that students wishing to excel will do so within the framework of the regular major, 

the honors program requires rigorous concentration in literary period courses, through special 

seminars focusing on htcrature and the fine arts and on special topics studied in depth 

In addition to the honors program, midshipmen mav take advantage of the Trident Scholar 

program, study abroad, a poetry competition and the English Majors' Club. The department of 

English also arranges a full schedule of trips to cultural centers in Washington and Baltimore lo 

take advantage of musical and dramatic offerings. For those inclined to be on the stage 

themselves, the \-lasqueraders, a h1ghl\' regarded drama group, offers a major production each 

\car 

Choosing a major in English will not limit career selection in a highlv technical \Ja\'y or Marine 

Corps. The qualities of a superior officer must mclude creativitv. communicative skills and 

independent thinking, all of which are strongly encouraged 111 English classrooms.

Ju-.t a, the '\aval Academy maintam� a responsibility for the professional and 

intclll'ctual tfon-lopnwnt of mid�hipmen, so also must it fulfill its responsibility 

tor each midshipman's physical de,·elopment. This is met through an 

intercolk•giatl' -.port� program that 1s one of the broadest in the nation 

- 20 

nwn's and 9 women's varsity teams -- and an equally ambitious intramural and 

club sporh program. All midshipmen arl' required to participate in these 

progr,1ms, eitlwr at thl' varsitv, intramural or club len•I. 

\'in• ,\dmiral \\'ilham I'. Lawrence, former superintendent of the \iaval 

Ac,1denw and an e,-1'0\\' in \'il'tnam, once noted "I think there 1s one

and was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player for the 1994-95 season. 

During the 1994-95 academic year, l1 Navy varsilv student-athletes were 

ilCCorded All-America honors, and the varsity sailing team won the national 

championship for the third straight year. In addition, Navy won conference or 

reg1linal championships in three sports, including Patriot League lilies in men's 

baseball and women's swimming. 

O,·cr the years, Navv teams ha\'e been successful in both national and 

111ternat1on.al arena<;. Midshipmen football teams have participated in the Rose, 

Sugar, Collon, Orange, Holiday, and Liberty Bowls, and Navy's football rivalry

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium, in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. The 

heavyweight crew has won the Jim Ten Eyck Trophy (for overall team 

performance) al the Jntercollegiate Rowing Association Championships six 

limes in recent years, including 1993. 

In addition lo the medal-winning crews, Navy athletes over the years have been 

frequent medal winners tn the Olympics. Lloyd Keaser, a 1972 graduate, won 

a silver medal in wrestling in the 1976 Olympics, and David Robinson earned 

a Bronze Medal in men's basketball at the l 988 games in addition to the Gold in 

1992. 

\1idshipmen teams in men's basketball, men's cross country, women's cross 

country, lacrosse, ri0e, soccer, women's swimming and water polo have all 

earned berths in NCAA championship competition in the past decade. 

The Na,·al Academy's sailing team provides midshipmen with opportunities to 

develop leadership and seamanship skills through competition in numerous 

intercollegiate and private regattas. Competition ranges from single-handed 

Lasers lo 50-foot ocean racers with a crew of H. The academy sponsors many 

of these regattas, including the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy 

Memorial Regalla.

Al the Na\'al Academ\', the athleltc program is nol just an extracurricular actinty, 

il is part of the m1ss10n and as such receives a priorit) much diJferenl than at a 

ci\'ilian school. The athletic teams are an mtegral par! of the o,·erall education of a 

lolal person. Athletics can provide leadership opportunities and the experiences of 

team play, cooperative effort, commitment and individual sacrifice for goals that 

some ma) or may not be able to achieve. Athletics are a big part of e\'ef') 

midshipman's ltfr.' al the "Ja\'al Academ, 

"In our program evervone has a wide ,·ariel) of athletic choices, as well as the 

required phvsical education curriculum. The primaf') goal of the phrsical education

Surface Warfare 

Surface warfare officers serve in every type of surface ship in Lhe Navy. When 

you are selected for surface warfare, you have the opportunity to choose the 

type of ship and home port of your first duty assignment. Then, after 

graduation from the academy, you attend a four-month Surface Warfare 

Officer School in Newport, R.l., before reporting to your ship. Your first tour 

of duty lasts about 30 months. 

A new ensign typicaJly serves as a division officer, with responsibilities for 

leading 12 to 50 enlisted personnel and directing a portion of the ship's 

equipment and operations. Typical positions include those of anti-submarine 

warfare officer, gunner} officer, communications officer and damage control 

assistant. In addition, you are expected to work toward qualification as 

combat information center watch officer, officer of the deck and NaYy surface 

warfare officer. 

Submarine Force 

Those assigned to the silent service begin by studying Navy nuclear 

propulsion at Nuclear Power School in Orlando, Fla. for six months of 

schooling, followed by six months of training at one of several nuclear reactor 

prototype sites located throughout the country. You then go to Navy 

Submarine School in New London, Conn., for the ID-week submarine officers 

basic course. Your first tour of duty with an attack or fleet ballistic missile 

submarine lasts about 36 months. 

ln a nuclear submarine, junior officers lead divisions of 10 to 20 men. You 

have responsibilities in a vital area of operations such as engineering, 

weapons or communications. You also stand watches and work lo qualify as 

engineering officer of the watch, diving officer and officer of the deck - all 

steps towards earning the gold dolphins of a Navy submarine officer. 
Nuclear Propulsion 

The Na, y's demanding and highly technical nuclear power training program 

is among the best in the world. Those chosen for the program usually rank 

high in their class and have a solid background in scientific and technical 

courses, though not necessarily majors in these areas. 

\llidshipmcn who choose surface \\"arfare can join those choosing submarines 

111 pursuing a sub-specialty in nuclear propulsion systems. If you are accepted 

111lo the nuclear power program, you report to '\!uclear Power School in 

Orlando, Fla., for si>. months of schooling following your first division officer 

tour. You then train for si>. months at one of several nuclear reactor prototype 

sites localed throughout the country before reporting to your second ship. 

All of the Navy's submarines are nuclear powered. Nuclear surface ships 

include guided missile cruisers and aircraft carriers, and nuclear trained 

surface warfare officers alternate between these and convenlionallv powered 

ships as they advance in their careers. 

Naval Aviation 

Whether it's landing an F / A-18 Hornet on the deck o( an aircraft carrier, 

hunting an enemy submarine in the North Atlantic in a P-3 Orion or 

maneuver111g an SH-60F helicopter in a rescue operation, naval aviators are 

constantly called upon to perform under pressure. When you are assigned to 

this career path, you can select training as a pilot or a naval flight officer. 

Pilots fly aircraft while naval flight officers serve as bombardiers, navigators, 

radar and electronic intercept officers and antisubmarine warfare systems 

specialists.

After graduallon from the academy, all those choosing aviation report to 

Pensacola, fla., for Aviation Preflight Indoctrination. Pilot trainees may either 

stay in Pensacola or move to Corpus Christi, Texas, for basic flight training. 

Depending on the type of aircraft/ training track chosen after basic, pilots may 

complete advanced training in Pensacola; Corpus Christi; Meridian, Miss.; or 

Bee\ ille, Texas. Naval flight officers (NFOs) complete all of their flight 

traming in Pensacola. They receive their wings of gold after 18-24 months for 

pilots and 12-18 months for NFOs. They are assigned to their first squadron 

after six to nine months of aircraft and mission specific training in a fleet 

replacement squadron. 

In addition to flying, naval aviators have significant leadership and 

management responsibilities from their very first duty assignment. New 

officers typically are charged with leading a group of aviation enlisted 

personnel and overseeing various aspects of the squadron's operations, 

administration, personnel management or aircraft maintenance. 

Marine Corps 

Up lo one-sixth of each graduating class may be chosen for commissioning as 

second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. After graduation from the academy, 

vou attend the Basic School, a 26-week course for oificcrs at Quantico, Va. This 

�chool gives all Marine officers a common background in the tactical study of 

land warfare. Then you go on to advanced training in a particular occupational specialt� based on vour qualifications and preferences. 

Marine Corps career fields include those in the two basic categories of ground 

and air. Ground career choices include infantn, armor, artillery, logistics, 

engineering. data processing and communications. Aviation choices include 

pilot, naval night officer, air command and control, anti-air warfare, aviation 

maintenance and a,·iation supply. 
In their first assignments, Manne Corps second lieutenants generall\' are 

assigned as platoon commanders with leadership responsibilities for 35 lo 43 

enlisted Marines. You often have a rule in a Marine . air/ ground Lask force, 

with 'vlarine light infantry capable of opposing much more hea1 ily eqlllpped 

forces. Meshing of air and ground officers in these Lask forces and 111dividual 

units gives officers the opportunity later to command combined umts, nol just 

wilh111 career specialties. 

Special Operations and Special Warfare 

Special Operations, the newest warfare community was approved by the 

Secretary of the Navy 111 July 1978 in recognition of a need for sustained, 

progressive, cost-effective and ready capabilitv in four functional areas: 

Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Mine Countermeasures (MCM), 

Operational Diving and Salvage (ODS), and Explosive Ordnance Management 

(EOM). Explosive Ordnance and diving provide the common base ,-'11ich 

assures compatibilil) of the four functional areas. Special Operations offers 

men and women an exciting career and command opportunity in a small 

specialized communit). 

Special Warfare provides qualified officers the opportunit) lo be a member of 

one of the world's elite fighting forces. As a branch of the U.S Special 

Operations Forces, Navy SEALS are known and respected around the world. 

Restricted Line and Staff Corps Specialties for men 

Midshipmen who are not physically qualified to serve in the warfare areas but 

who can be commissioned as active dutv officers can choose from a wide 

\'ane1:· of alternatives and pursue a career all the way to the flag officer rank 

of admiral. Restricted line and staff corps officer,; make careers in the fields or 

intelligence, cryptology, oceanography, medicine, civil engineering, supply 

and aviation maintenance. They serve aboard ships, with aircraft squadrons 

and at shore bases around the world. Graduating midshipmen who are 

accepted to medical school may be commissioned in the Medical Corps even if 

physically qualified to serve in the unrestricted line.

Assignments for Women Officers 

As a woman officer in the Navy and Marine Corps, many options are open to 

you to serve in assignments vital to our national defense. You may fly planes 

as a pilot or naval night officer or drive ships as a surface warfare officer. The 

Navy is now assigning women to combat vessels following the repeal of the 

combat exclusion law (Section 6015, Title 10, U.S. Code). Following training, 

you would be assigned aboard a variety of Navy ships including cruisers, 

destroyers, aircraft carriers, dock landing ships, oilers, tenders, frigates and 

supply ships in the Atlantic or Pacific fleets or in aircraft. 

Women may also enter restricted line or staff corps specialties such as 

oceanography, intelligence, supply or civil engineering if not physically 

qualified for aviation, ships or Marine Corps. 

You also may choose to enter the Marine Corps. Women Marine Corps officers 

can be assigned to all career fields available to male officers, except infantry, 

artillery and armor. 

A very limited number of billets in medicine are available each year to both 

male and female graduates, who are accepted for admission by an accredited 

medical sd1ool.

admi,-..ion-.. board autom,1ticall\' considers wai,·l•r of the nsual acu1t\' standard 

for c,rndidall• ... \\'ho are otherwise mL•dicall\' qualitied, who ha,·e c:-.ceptional 

schol,,stk ,ind b1dership poll'nllal, and who mel'l the following additional 

requirenwnts: 

• n,1011 wrrect-.. to 20/20 m l',Kh eye with e\',•glasses (not contact len-,es);

• rdract11·e Nror doe-.. not L''l.ceed 6.00 diopter-.. 111 ,my mcridi,111 in either

l'� l';
• astigmatism does not e,ceed 3.00 diopters in either eye; ,rnd 

• the difference m refractive error between the two eyes docs not e,cccd 

150 diopters.

Again, if the 011/_11 problem is that your 1111corrected visual acuity is not norm,11, 

the Admissions Board will automatically consider waiver of this stand.ird. 

You need not request this\\ a1ver. 

Color perception 11111-;t be normal Color vision 1s retested on Induction Day. 

Do not undergo radial keratotomy if you hope to attend the Naval Academy. 

Radial keratotom), keratomileusis, ep1keratophakia, orthokeratology and all 

other surgical, laser or mechanical procedures performed to correct ,·isual 

acuity are disqualifying, and waivers are not considered. 

Keratoconus is disqualitymg; a waiver cannot be considered. 

If you wear glasses or contact lenses, take them with you to your examination. 

If vou wear soft contact lenses, do not use them during the three days 

preceding your examination. Do not use hard or gas-permeable contact lens 

for 21 days before your e:,.,amination.

I lea rt and vascular system 

The,;c conditions are disqualif\'ing: uncorrected scplal delect; congenital, 

rheumatic, or other abnormality of the heart ,·alves or major vessels; abnormal 

heart rate or rhvthm; blood pressure predominantly in the range of 1-10/90 or 

greater, severe or symptomatic varicose veins; and m,tral valve prolapse 

which has either caused symptoms or been associated with rhythm 

disturbance or regurgitation. 

Cars and hearing 

Both ears mu-.t be free of tvmpanic perforation and acutL' and chronic disease. 

The average of the hearing loss at 500, 1000 and 2000 H7 in either ear may not 

e:-.cced 30 decibels (ISO), and the loss at any one of these three frequencies 

ma\' not exceed 35 decibels. The maximum acceptable loss in either car al 3000 

Hz is -15 decibels and at -1000 Hz, 55 decibels. 

Respiratory system 

Histon of asthma, recurrent asthmahc bronchitis, exercise-induced 

bronchospasm or reactive airn•ay disease by any other name is disqualifying. 

Svmptomat,c nasal polyps, severe hay fever, and tuberculosis (if active with111 

two years) will ,11s0 result in reiection. Nasal septa) deviation, hypertrophic 

rhinitis, and other conditions which cause significant reduction of flow 

through either airway or which interfere with drainage of a sinus arc 

d1squalify111g. Allergy immunotherap\', unless established at a monthly 

maintenance level and expected to be discontinued no more than two years 

after matriculation, is disqualifying. 

Musculoskeletal system 

Ununited fractures, history of surgery to a maior 101111 v. ithin six months, 

h,storv of derangement of any major joint not corrected bv surgery or 

evidence of instability subsequent to surgery, history of anterior cruciate 

ligament injury, certain retained orthopaedic fixation devices, arthritis, severe 

�coliosis, symptomatic structural abnormalities of the spinal column, and 

herniated nucleus pulposis or history of sp111al surgery for this or any other 

condition are disqualify111g. 

155 
156 

Genitourinary system 

Persistence of protein (except documented benign orthostatic proteinuria), 

sugar, or red or white blood cells in the urine 1s disqualifying, as are 

bed wetting continuing into adolescence and a history of recurrent or bilateral 

kidney stones. Severe congenital or developmental anomalies, hormonal 

disorders, neoplastic conditions, persistent or recurrent infections, and certain 

complications of infections arc cause for rejection. An undescended testicle is 

disqualifying, as are pregnancy, endometriosis and severe dysmenorrhea. 

Gastrointestinal system 

I listory of peptic ulcer, gall bladder disease, regional enteritis (Crohn's 

Disease), ulcerative colitis or any other inflammatory bowel disease is 

disqualifying. 

Neuropsychiatric disorders 

Seizure disorders (except febrile convulsions in childhood), degenerative 

conditions, vascular or other kinds of recurrent or severe headaches and 

severe motion sickness susceptibility are disqualifying. History of psychosis 

or affecti,·e illness, personality disorder or immaturity, stammering or 

stuttering, eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia, attention deficit or 

learning disorders/ disabilities, hyperactivity, and sleepwalking persisting 

into adolescence also are disqualifying. 

Skin 

Chrome diseases such as psoriasis, a topic dermatitis and eczema are cause for 

rejection. Se,·ere acne is disqualifying until successfully treated. If a course of 

Accutane is undertaken, this should be completed, with documentation of a 

favorable outcome, prior to acceptance. Pilonidal sinus, ii evidenced by a 

discharging mass, is cause for rejection unless repaired successfully. 

Other disqualifying conditions 

Some other disqualifying conditions include abdommal wall hernia, until 

repaired; removal of the spleen for most reasons except trauma; anemia; 

abnormal bleeding states; diabetes mellitus; sickle cell disease (sickle cell trait 

and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are 110/ disqualifying); 

any active communicable infection; generalized reaction to stinging insect 

venom; family history of malignant hyperthermia; allergy to common foods 

requiring special dietary considerations; history of drug abuse or alcohol 

dependence; and exposure to the virus associated with AIDS {Acquired 

lmmune Deficiency Syndrome). A blood test for the presence of AIDS virus 

antibodies, an alcohol breath test, and a urine test for drugs are performed on 

Induction Day al the Naval Academy; a confirmed positive result in any of 

these leads to disqualification without possibility of a waiver. 

Dental standards 

Except for minor or questionable areas, you should have all required dental 

treatment completed before your medical examination. Missing teeth causing 

reduced masticatory (chewing) or 111cisal (biting) efficiency must be replaced 

by well-Lksigned bridges, partial dentures, or implants in good condition. lf 

you are undergoing active orthodontic treatment which will not be completed 
prior lo your entr) into the 1\;aval Academy, you ma)' request a wni,·er. Do 

not have braces removed prior to completion of treatment unless advised b, 

the '\Ja,·al Academv 

· 

Other disquatit, mg dental conditions include: 

• infections or chronic diseases of the sort tissue of the oral cavity;

• marked malticclusion that requires early or prolonged treatme.nt, im·olves

tissue impingement on either the facial or lingual/ palatal gingiva, or in 

some other \,·a,· jeopardizes dental health,

• unsatisfacton· restoratiom,, bridges, dentures, or implants;

• severe or e,tens1ve apical or periodontal infection;

• perforations from the oral cavity into the nasal cavity or ma:-.illary sinus;

and

• tumors or cysts of the oral tissues that can be expected to require

treatment 1n the foreseeable future.

Concluding comments 

As you will realize from the toregoing summary, the physical examination for 

adm1ss1on to the \;aval Academy is comprehensive, and the medical and 

dental �tandards arc exacting. This is necessan· because our goal is for e,·ery 

midshipman to be able to anticipate unrestricted opportunities for 

commissioned service after graduation. For most candidates, the physical 

e,amination process will require no more than a single visit to a physician's 

and a dentist's office. For others, questions \\'ill arise that may necessitate a 

variety of additional evaluations. We know this can become time-consuming 

but we hope vou will understand the reason for concern. The questions 

resolve fa,·orably for the n1aJority of candidates, and waiver of the standard(s) 

is often possible when documentation of a disqualifv1ng condition in an 

individual candidate supports the expectation of unrestricted ser\"ice (see 

d1scuss1on on page 152). Staff members at DOD.\1ERB and in the admissions 

office" ill assist in ever) \\ ay possible.
