The young men and women who make the choice for excellence - those who decide 

to come to the Un1ted States Naval Academy -- are the best and brightest this nation 

has to offer. We take great pride in our leadership and education programs that 

prepare our students to be commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy and Marine 

Corps. II is this singularity of purpose and focus on excellence that sets us apart 

from other colleges and universities. Our goal, quite simply, is to develop leaders 

for the world's gTeatest \;avy and Marine Corps. 

At the United States Naval Academy, you become part of an e>.tremely proud 

rradihon of excellence that spans more than five generations. Since 1845 we have 

provided the finest educational facilities, most up-to-date and modem labs and 

equipment and outstanding athletic programs. These programs and facilities, 

combined with the nonpareil qualifications and tireless dedication of our faculty 

and staff who help guide and develop our midshipmen, are unmatched anywhere. 

This is our fundamental and all encompassing commitment to e>.cellence. There is 

one important aspect about the \.aval Academy that we guarantee: We offer you 

the challenge of a l.ifetime and the opportunity to perform to your full potential. 

This nation entrusts to us its greatest national treasure, the best of its youth. That 1s 

each of you - the future of this nation And, as world events continue to prove, you 

are the brand of young man and woman needed at the United States Naval 

Academy toda1, to prepare for leadership roles in the t\avy and Marine Corps of 

tomurrow I challenge you to come onboard, accept this call and share in our 

excellence. 

The Naval Academy also is the final resting place of Revolutionary War naval 

hero john Paul Jones whose words, "I have not yet begun to fight," have 

inspired generations of U.S. naval officers. His crypt is located beneath the 

academy chapel, also known as the Cathedral of the '\Javy. A National 

I listonc Sile, the Naval Academy welcomes one million visitors every year 

from all over the United States and the world. They come to enjoy the natural 

beauty of the Yard, to recall some of this country's naval history and to marvel 

at the traditions earned on in midshipmen parades and m1htary formations. 

Tourists and midshipmen also appreciate that downtown Annapolis lies right 

outside the gates of the academy. With its colonial charm and busy waterfront, 

\.laryland's state capital provides a pleasant, diverse setting for one of 

Americas premier colleges, the United States Naval Academy. 

History 

The academy started as the Naval School in 1845, founded by Secretary of the 

'-.,1\"y George Bancroft on 10 acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis. Since then, 

the development of the Naval Academy has reflected the history of the United 

States. As our country has changed culturally and technologically, so has the

Naval Academy. In just a few decades, the Navy has moved from a fleet of 

sail- and gas-turbine powered ships to a high-tech fleet 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 went into effect requiring midshipmen to study at the academy for 

four years and to train aboard ships eacn 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 the years, the academy expanded. The campus of 

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

a brigade size of 4,200 midshipmen. Modem granite buildings replaced the 

old wooden structures of Fort Severn and the Naval School. 

Congress authorized the Naval Academy to begin awarding bachelor of 

science degrees in 1933. The academy later 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 advanced study and research 

opportunities. 

The Naval Academy first accepted women as midshipmen in 1976 when 

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

Women comprise about 13 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 develop midshipmen 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 sen,ice and have 

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

responsibilities of command, citizenship and government." This puts everyone 

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

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

Prog ram 

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

important, all contributing to the qualities of an outstanding naval officer. 

Academics 

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

includes courses in engineering, science, mathematics and the humanities. 

This is designed to give you a broad-based education that will qualify you for 

practically any career field in the Navy or Marine Corps. At the same time, our 

majors program gives you the opportunity to develop ayour 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 academy. 
Professional and leadersh ip training 

We don t just tell you about life in the avy and Marine Corps, you get an 

opportunity to hve 1t. Over the four years at the f\:aval Academy, the life, 

customs and traditions of the mn-al service become second nature. First, you 

learn to take orders, practicing the art of followership. But, before long, you 

acquire the responsibility for making decisions that can affect hundreds of 

other midshipmen. Your professional classroom studies are backed b~, many 

hours of practical expenence 111 leadership and naval operations, including 

assignments with Navy and Marine Corps units during summer months. 

Moral education 

As future officers m the avy or Manne Corps, midshipmen will someday be 

responsible for multi-million dollar equipment and the priceless lives of many 

men and women. By necessity, an unwavering tradition of honor and integrity 

is a foundation of the Naval Academy. In 1951 the midshipmen formulated 

the I lonor Concept: "Midshipmen are persons of integrity; they do not lie, 

cheat or steal." 

These arc not hollow words at Navy, where the midshipmen continue to 

operate a stnct honor system that has been emulated and adopted by many 

either academic institutions. Composed of elected upperclass midshipmen, the 

Brigade I lonor Committee conducts hearings for those midshipmen suspected 

of violating the Honor Concept. Violations of the Honor Concept may lead to 

separation from the Naval Academy. 

Taught from the first day that their word must be true, midshipmen enjoy the 

privileges of hv111g 111 an environment of mutual trust and respect.

Profil e of Midshipmen 

It takes a special kind of young man or woman to handle the \Java! 

Academy's demanding program, but that doesn't mean all midshipmen are 

alike. \1 idsh1pmen come from all 50 states, U.S. territories and several foreign 

countries. They come from cities, suburbs, fa rms and ranches, small towns 

and military bases. They have talents and hobbies of every kind and 

personalities that fit every description. And, they represent the diverse ethnic 

and cultural heritages that, together, make the United States a great nation. 

Some characteristics seem to be common among Naval Academy 

midshipmen, however. The charts on these pages show you that midshipmen 

are good students, leaders in thcu high schools and communities and 

interested in athletics. But other common qualities of midshipmen don't show 

up in statistics. The young men and women who choose the Naval Academy 

are looking for more than a college degree. They like the idea of being 

challenged mentally, physically and personally. They are people who don't 

want to settle tor the ordinary, the routine or the easy. 

Midshipmen are also patriots. They want to serve their country in a 

meaningful way -- in a profession that helped win this nation's i.ndependence 

more than 200 years ago. Finally, midshipmen are young people who look to 

the future. They see the opportunities available at the Naval Academy, as well 

as the exciting possibilities open to them in the '\:avy and Marine Corps after 

graduation.

Our Commitment 

Setting 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 athletics. But nowhere else do you have a better 

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 

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

10 other students. 

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

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

instruction or special projects until 1 J p.m. every weeknight. lt's not 

unusual to find professors and midshipmen burning the late-night oil 

together in an academy research lab or at a computer terminal. There are 

no teaching assistants at the academy. You get help directly from your 

professor. 

• protected study time. Evening study period is reserved from 7:15 p.m. to 

midnight, Sunday through Friday, to help all midshipmen keep up with 

their courses. Additwnally, Nimitz Library, computer labs and other 

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

week. 

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

individual counseling, as well as an academic adviser early 111 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, as well as 

military performance and conduct. They are ready to help in the 

event of problems, as are the academy·s staff of chaplains and 

professional counselors. 

• 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 families volunteer to give every 

midshipman a local sponsor. These relationships usualJy grow into deep 

friendships that last a lifetime. 

Your Commitment 

Becoming a midshipman at the Naval Academy 1s a big step. It's not like 

starting your freshman year al a civilian college. You make a commitment to 

live a military liiestyle. You take an oath of office, promising to be loyal to 

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

everything you do and say. You're also expected to work harder Lhan you've 

ever worked before and to push )'Ourself beyond your old limits. This 1s how 

we prepare you for the challenging responsibilities of service as a naval officer 

and the opportunities of a lifetime in the Navy and Marine Corps.

Eligibility Requirements for Applying to the U.S. Naval 

Academy 

You must be: 

• at least 17 years of age and must not have passed your 22nd birthday on July 

1 of the year of admission; 

• unmarried, not pregnant and have no legal obligation to support a 

child, children or other individual; 

• a United States citizen (except for the limited quotas of international 

midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress); and 

• of good moral character. 

Other Qualifications Necessary for Admission 

You must: 

• be found scholastically qualified by the admissions board; 

• be medically qualified; 

• pass the Naval Academy's Physical Aptitude Examination or similar test 

for USMA, USAFA; and 

• recei,·e an official nomination from one of many sources available 

(see pages 16-2ll. 

How to Become Competitive for Admission 

To improve your chances of qualifying scholastically, your high school 

preparation should include the following: 

• mathematics - fou r years of mathematics courses, including a strong 

foundation in geometry, algebra and trigonometry. Experience in calculus is 

good, but not at the expense of these basic fields. 

• science - one year of chemistry and one year of physics. 

• English -- four years of course work with special attention to the study 

and practice of effective writing. Surveys of English and American 

literature are especially helpful as background for future study of 

literature. 

• modern foreign language -- at least two years. Course work should 

include regular use of the spoken language and encompass elementary 

synta>. and grammar. 

• history -- one full year of U.S. history and, where possible, a full year of 

European or world history. 

• inh·oductory computer and typing courses are recommended because all 

midshipmen are required to use personal computers in most of the 

academy's courses. 

To demonstrate your ability to meet the physical and time demands of four 

years at the Naval Academy, you should take part in athletic and non-athletic 

extracurricular activities. Since every midshipman is involved in physical 

exercise every day at the academy, it is important that you get in good physical 

condition while still in high school. Plebe Summer is not the time to try to whip 
your;clf into shape 51nce we are abo mterested 111 ,·our leadership potential, as 

\\'ell as your ,1b1hty to manage your lime, "'e will look at ,·our non-athletic

The L, S. \,,n·al Arndenw Foundallon, Inc, abo helps promising candidates 

who .ire not appoinll•d in their first tn· for adm1-ss1on. This nonproht 

organ1 ation aw.irds ,1 limited number of scholarships for post-high school

Candidates who successlully complete the Foundation program will nom1alh 

be offered an appmntment to the aval Academy. 
Other Considerations 

Appointments of women 

In 1976 Congress authorized women to enter the service academics, and 81 

women were admitted with the aval Academy Class of 1980. Great strides 

have been made since 1976 to fully integrate women into the Brigade. 

Women comprise about 13 percent of each entering class. Admissions standards 

arc the same as those for men, with the exception of some allowances made for 

the physical differences between men and women. The number of women 

admitted each year is based on the needs of the Navy and Marine Corps for 

women officers. Approximately 500 of the 4,200-member Brigade of 

,'\fJidshipmen are women. 

The academy offers women the same opportunities to excel it has extended to 

men a challengmg academic curriculum to promote intellectual development; 

,1 physical training program to build strength, agility and endurance; and a 

military environment to develop disopline, military skills and leadership. 

Previous candidates 

If you applied before but were not appointed to the Naval Academy, you may 

reapplv for admission with a subsequent class. The application process is the 

same. In general, we recommend you retake your SAT or ACT tests. Also, if you 

take college or prep school courses before reapplying, we suggest you take 

courses similar to those required of first-year midshipmen. 

Readmission of fom1er midshipmen 

Former midshipmen desmng to reenter the Na\'al Academy must obtain a new 

nomination and requalify medically. In addition to admissions board action, the 

academy's academic board must agree to readmit former midshipmen. Like any 

other candidate, you must not be past your 26th birthday on July 1 of the year 

you would graduate from the academy to be eligible for consideration. Requests 

should be addressed to the dean of admissions not later than April 1 of the year 

of desired readmission. 

International students 

In the interest of international and navy-to-navy relations, the Secretary of the 

Na,·v can authorize students from certain countries to enroU at the Naval 

Academy. Up to 40 of Lhese students may be at the academy at a given time.

other milhh1pmen ,1nd then throw your hat mto the air at graduation will you 

rl•all\' !-.now what the \.arnl Academy experience 1s all about. The four years 

at Annapolis are tighth structured, but there are many ways you can pursue

Bl'forl' long. the floor b a deck the w;ill i, a bull-.head and the restroom is a 
head. Likewise, midshipmen seniority is stated in a way different from 

traditional college terms. We designate our class ranks this way: 

Freshman = Fourth class or plebe 

Sophomore= Tlurd class or youngster 

Junior= Second class 

Senior= First class or firstte 

All 1\/aval Academy students, men and women, are called midshipmen, 

which IS a rank between chief warrant officer and ensign in the Navy. A 

midshipman first class is a senior. The student bodv is the Brigade of 

Midshipmen, or simply the brigade, and the naval servJCe often is called the 

fleet. TI1e brigade is divided into six battalions. Six companies make up 

each battahon, making a total of 36 companies. The midshipmen command 

structure, headed by a first class midshipman chosen for outstanding 

leadership performance to be brigade commander, is responsible for much 

of the brigade"s day-to-day activities as well as the professional training of 

midshipmen. Overseeing all brigade activities is the Commandant of 

\11.idshipmcn, an active-duty Navy officer of captain's rank or above. 

Working for the commandant, experienced Navy and Marine Corps officers 

are assigned as company and battalion officers. 

Four-Year Summary 

The pull-out chart on this page provides a diagram showing the highlights 

of the Naval Academy's four-year program Each year at the academy 

builds on the learning and experience of the previous year. As you 

complete basic courses and begm advanced studies, you also take on more 

responsibility in leading underclassmen at Annapolis and acting as a junior 

officer during summer professional training with the fleet. 

Life in the Brigade 

l\;o matter what your background, chances are the living arrangements at 

the academy are different from anything you have experienced. The day 

begms with reveille and ends with lights out. You stand watches, march to 

meals and wear uniforms for almost everything you do. You and your 

roommates must keep your room ready for a military inspection at any

Plebe Summer 

All m1dsh1pmcn begin the four-year program with Plebe Summer, a period 

designed to turn c1\'lhans mto midshipmen. Plebe Summer is no gentle easing 

into the milita ry routine Soon after entering the gate on Induction Day, you 

arc put into uniform and taught how to salute by the first class m1dsh1pmen 

and off1Ccrs 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 vou will make it through the next 

day. Forget television, leisure time or mo\'les. You will hani barely enough 

hours m the day to finish your assigned plebe tasks. 

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

vou ready for your responsibilities when the brigade returns from summer 

trammg and the academic vear begins. The summer also builds the foundation 

for the tangible and intangible quahhes that make an outstanding naval 

officer 'rou learn self-discipline You learn to orgamze your hme and decide

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

spiritual 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 activities. For plebes especially, these activities 

help to relieve the stress of academics and the tough military routine. After 

plebe year, your free time increases and you can relax, pursue personal 

interests, date and explore the local area. There's much to see and do in 

Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. There also are many cultural, 

social and sports activities sponsored by the academy. 

Spectator sports 

On autumn weekends, the excitement 1111d color of Navy football sweeps the 

brigade. All midshipmen attend home games in , avy-Marine Corps 

Memorial Stadium. Groups of midshipmen also attend most away games. The 

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

traditional Army- avy game. There are 32 other varsity Navy teams to cheer 

on, as well. Outstanding spectator facilities bring out enthusiastic l avy 

supporters for almost every rh·alry from wrestling and swimming 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, 

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

,pon,or relationships last long beyond the academy years. 

Social events 

The Brigade Activities Committee plans several special weekends during the 

vear, 111clud1ng events like the annual International Ball with young guests 

visiting from embassy row 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 formal rules of 

order, official toasts, skits and fmes. Individual companies of midshipmen 

often orgam:i:e their own special activities on weekends. Certainly the 

highlight of our soCJal calendar 1s Commiss1on111g Week in May -- five days of 

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

demonstration leading to graduation and commissioning of the midshipmen 

first class.

Cultural Affairs Program 

We take advantage of our proximity to Washington, D.C., and Baltimore to 

arrange tickets and transportation to 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 1991 opening of the Bob Hope Performing Arts Center at Alumni 

I !all, 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 extracurncular 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.

Local and Area Attractions 

The l\aval Academy lies adjacent to historic downtown Annapolis, which is 

famous for its state capitol, colonial home!. and waterfront. The city dock is 

the focal point of the Annapolis waterfront. Workboats outfitted for 

harvestmg crabs and oysters berth next to million-dollar sailing yachts and 

power boats. During mild weather, the dock is the scene of concerts, boat 

shows and festivals mixing midshipmen and local citizens with thousands of 

tourists. For a small city of 35,000, Annapolis is very sophisticated, offering 

many fine restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, museums, repertory theatre 

and a symphony orchestra. Several large shopping centers and malls are 

located in the suburbs. 

Maryland's largest city, Baltimore, is approximately 30 miles from Annapolis 

,rnd the l'\aval Academy Baltimore's Inner Harbor offers a wide variety of 

specialty shops, eaterie~ and entertainment. TI1e Maryland Science Ce~ter 

and the National Aquarium are also there. Greater Baltimore also has 

theatres, galleries, museums and a zoo. For sports enthusiasts, there are race 

tracks, a professional indoor soccer team and the Baltimore Orioles baseball 

team 

Due west of Annapolis lies Washington, D.C., our nation's capital. 

Washington is home to the Smithsonian Institution with its museums of 

Natural I listory, American Art, American l listory and Air and Space. There 

are hundreds of other attractions ranging from art galleries, symphonies, 

opera, ballet and off-Broadway theatre to rock and jazz concerts, ethnic 

festivals and scenic parks. Washington also has its share of professional 

sports teams including the Redskins in football, the Bullets in basketball and 

the Capitals in ice hockey.

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. In addition, all midshipmen are paid 

$543.90 monthly. Part of this goes to defray the cost of uniforms, books and 

professional equipment. 

In addition, you will receive an interest free ACE (Additional Clothing and 

Equipment) loan up to $3,500 for your initial issue. This loan will be deducted 

from yow· pay over the course of your first two to three years. 

Leave and Privileges 

The Naval Academy's combined academic, military and physical development 

programs demand a lot of effort, requiring you to spend more time on campus 

than the typical civilian college student. But midshipmen enjoy 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 

academy. All midshipmen generally are granted leave during these periods: 
• Thanksgiving leave; 

• a Christmas vacation at the end of the fall ~emester; 

• mid-term leave during spring semester; 

• Easter liberty; 

• a short break at the end of spring semester and before Commissioning 

Week;and 

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

according to 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 difficulty in academics, conduct or military performance 

Generally, town and weekend liberty is authorized for midshipmen as 

follows: 

• Plebes have town liberty on Saturday afternoons and evenings and liberty 

within the Naval Academy complex on Saturday mornings and Sunday 

afternoons. Plebes can date on at least four weekends during the year and 

throughout Commiss10111ng Week. Special weekend liberty may be 

granted on special occasions. 

• Five liberty weekends each semester arc authorized for third-classmen, 

eight a semester for second-classmen.

Degree Awarded 

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

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

top 10 percent of their class graduate with dt5tinction. Those who have 

completed special honors programs in selected majors graduate with honors. 

Educational Philosophy 

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

students by highly qualified faculty members who are sl:rongly committed to 

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

small, generally ranging in size from 10 to 22 students. Even the core courses 

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

attention from your instructor. 1n science and engineering courses, the same 

professor who lectures in the classroom supervises experiments in the lab. This 

conl:rasts sharply with most universities, where scholars may address their 

students in huge lecture halls, but direct contact with undergraduiltes in labs or 

discussion sections is delegated to graduate assistants. AJ1 courses at the Naval 

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

assistants.

Educalton 1s the key to success and leadership. I behe,·e Lhat a good leader is an

the l>pportunity to get an academic education and to get an education about proper 

conduct, military performance, honor and physical fitness. That is what distinguishes 

the :--.aval Academv from other civilian universities - the opportumty for the 

highest-qualitv, comprehensive college education. 

"The academ,c program at the academy pro\'ldes the opportumty for midshipmen to 

develop self-disc1phne, self-confidence and conceptual knowledge. Our core curriculum 

balances techmcal and non-technical subjects and has received national acclaim for its

Faculty 

Our 600-member faculty is an integrated group ofofficers 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 

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

studies at the academy are applied in the fleet 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 all of these 

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

scholars in their fields. Working together closely, 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 inforn1ation, pnor to the commencement of the academic year. 

Advising continues throughout the year as often as necessary. When 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 helpful in providing academic counseling and 

ad,·ice to midshipmen. 

Core Curriculum 

In four years at the Naval Academy, midshipmen are required to take certain 

core courses to make sure they are well prepared for the major career-path 

options available to Navy and Marine Corps officers. Core requirements also 

prepare them for advanced professional training and postgraduate education, 

which are expected of nearly all naval officers. Through required courses in 

engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, the humanities, professional 

military subjects and physical education, the Naval Academy provides a 

balanced education to open practically any door of opportunity in the future. 

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

courses form the foundation for the more advanced courses chosen by 

upperclass midshipmen. Some core requirements in the upperclass _years hav~ 

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 

• Calculus I - Plebes not adequately prepared for calculus take a 

pre-calculus course that does not count as part of the minimum 

mathematics requirement. 

• Chemistry I - Including laboratories. 
• l., 5. Government and Constitutional De,·elopment -- Plebes may take an 

elective and defer this course until later m their programs. 

• Leadership I - Introduction to military leadership principles. 

• Rhetoric and Introduction to Literature I - Some plebes take a pract1Cal 

writing course to prepare for this class 

Plebe year second semester -- 18 credit hours 

• Calculus II - Continuation of the first-semester course 

• Chem1stn· 11 - Contmuatton of the first-semester course. 

• American '\a,·al l leritage -- A history of this countrv's navv 

• Fundamentab of ,a val Science --The basic elements of shipboard 

operation, orgamzatton and propulsion 

• Rhetoric and lntroduct10n to Literature II.

lf you validate a basic course, you can enroll in a sequential course in the same 

subject, take care of a not her cu rricu 1 um 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 Naval Academy to complete 

professional courses and training. 

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

required qualifications 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 naval 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 

Chemistry 

Computer Science 

Economics 

Electrical Engineering 

English 

General Engineering 

General Science 

History 

Marine Engineering 

Mathematics 

Mechanical Engineering 

Naval Architecture 

Ocean Engineering 

Oceanography 

Physics 

Political Science 

Systems Engineering 

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

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

satellites, the Naval Academy recently created an astronautics track within the 

aerospace engineering major to help prepare midshipmen for assignments with 

the Navy Space Command and NASA. 
\.1inors in French, German, Spanish, Russian and Japanese are offered to those 

who C0mplete four ad,·anccd couN.'s in one of these languages whtll' at the 

;icademv. 

Special Academic Opportunities 

Outstandmg studl'nh at the \.aval Academy have manv opportunities to

Facilities 

From wind tunnels to a nuclear reactor, we have outstanding facilities and 

equipment in every phase of our program. Several new academic buildmgs 

have opened in recent years, and older classrooms, labs and athletic facilities 

have been renovated to provide modern and comfortable areas for learning and 

recreation. 

Special academi c facilities 

• propulsion lab 

• wind tunnels, both subsonic and supersonic 

• 120-foot and 380-foot towing tanks 

• coastal engineering basm 

• en\'ironmental chamber facilities 

• sub-critical nuclear reactor 

• oceanographic research \'essel, field laboratory and weather station 

• 16-inch Cassegrain reflector telescope 

• fully-equipped laboratories for chemistry, physics, engineering, 

oceanography and foreign language courses 

• 12-meter satellite earth station 

Computers 

Computmg resources at the "Java! Academy can be found in every academic 

department and administrative office. The \:aval Academy has a goal of 

training midshipmen to be effecti\'e leaders and managers in an information 

technology-oriented '\la,')' and Manne Corps. This requires that midshipmen, 

faculty and staff have the electronic tools for sophisticated research, synthesis 

and presentation of infonnation. 

The academv's computer resources 111clude· 

• a campus-\dde data network connecting faculty, students and staff with 

extensh·e computing capabilities; 

• the primary academic computing mainframe, a dual processor Honey-well 

DPS 8/b2 running the '\aval Academy Timesharing System (a derivative 

of the Dartmouth College Timesharing System), that can support more 

than 300 simultaneous users; 

• state-of-the-art capabilities in computer graphics, computer-aided design 

and engineering computation used to simulate aircraft and satellite 

motion, design of 3-D mecha111cal systems, 3-D animated displays, solid 

modeling, surface rendering, signal processmg, and the design and 

numerical control manufacturing of ship models; 

• interactive video for training in foreign languages; 

• computer languages 111cluding Ada, Pascal and BASIC, 

• an automated Navy Tactical War Gaming center to support the tactical 

simulations used in the professional and militan· training of midshipmen, 

• an automated library svstem which allows access to an clectro111c catalog 

from remote locations; and 

• computer applications in all academic and professional programs. 

All midshipmen are required to purchase a personal desk-top computer dunng 

Plebe Summer. After introductory training, the personc1I computers are used 

over the four-vear program Paid for through deductions from midshipmen 

pay, the computer becomes the personal property of each midshipman and is 

his or hers to keep upon graduation. 
Employing the recently installed \Java! Academy Data 'etwork, midshipmen 

can use their personal computers to link to other computers throughout the 

academy, as well as to outside educational and commercial information 

sources. Electronic mail allows midsh1pmen to use their personal computers to 

communicate with other midshipmen, faculty, staff and parents as well. 

Writing Center 

Open lo all midshipmen, the Writing Center helps those needing extra writing 

instruction. The Writing Center is staffed by English department faculty 

members, both civilian and military, who are experts in composition and in 

working with students to improve their writing skills. 

Math Lab 

The Math Lab helps midshipmen who are unable to meet with their own 

instructors. Staffed with faculty members of the mathematics department, the 

Math Lab provides assistance in all core mathematics courses to midshipmen 

without prior appointments throughout the academic day. 

Academic Center for Counseling and Advising 

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

ad, 1smg services, learning skills clas:.es and psychological counseling. Students 

with academic difficulty (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 stress is offered several times a year for interested midshipmen. The 

Academic Center coordinates the Plebe Advising Program where faculty 

members serve as the advisors for a company of plebes during both plebe 

summer and academic year.

Summer courses and training 

Plebe Summer 

This starts on Induction Day early in July. Areas of emphasis include military 

indoctrination, physical education, basic seamanship and sailing, small arms 

training, first aid and introduction to personal computers. See page 36 for more 

on Plebe Summer. 

Third-class summer 

In the summer between your plebe and third-class years, you will either 

conduct Atlantic patrols in Yard Patrol craft or sail to Bermuda or New England 

on USNA training sloops. Additionally, you will spend four weeks in 

leadership training hosted by the U.S. Marine Corps, experiencing the ultimate 

test of teamwork. 

Second-class summer 

During the summer before your second-class year, you are introduced to every 

ma1or branch of the Navy. In one action-packed summer, you fly Navy aircraft 

al Pensacola and dive in a nuclear powered submarine off the coast of Florida. 

You and your classmates wiJI also report to Navy ships and submarines around 

the world for second class cruise. You become part of the crew for six weeks, 

taking part m gunnery exercises and drills and standing watches underway. 

This experience gives you first-hand knowledge of the daily routine of a Navy 

ship at sea You also learn to appreciate the talents, responsibilities and 

perspectives of the enlisted men and women you will later lead as an officer. 

First-class summer 

In the final summer, you get the chance to put your leadership skills to the test, 

both in the fleet and at the academy. For eight weeks, you join a Navy or Marine 

Corps operational unit, and this time your duties are those of a junior officer. 

Depending on your career interests and qualifications, you can choose a surface 

warship, submarine, aircraft carrier, or aviation squadron. Those midshipmen 

interested 111 choosing the Marine Corps after graduation may attend a 

five-week officer candidate course in Quantico, Va., with a follow-on 

three-week tour attached to a Fleet Marine Force unit.

the Marine Corps. Graduate study begins approximately two years after 

commissioning. Selectees may choose their field of study from an extensive list 

of disciplines. 

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

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

oceanography at the Massachusetts [nstitute of Technology /Woods Hole 

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

degree in oceanography and a Navy warfare specialty designation in 

oceanography. 

Olmsted 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 Naval 

Academy graduates who have served between two and ten years of active duty 

are eligible each year. 

William 1-1.G. FitzGerald Scholarship --supports two years of graduate study at 

Oxford University in England for one Naval Academy graduate each year. 

Thomas Pownall Scholarship -- supports two years of graduate study at 

Cambridge University 111 England for one Naval Academy graduate each year. 

Otto A. Zipf Scholarship -- supports two years of graduate study at the 

Ruprecht-Karl-University of Heidelberg, Gennany for one Naval Academy 

graduate of each class. 

Captain Marshall H. Cox/ Captain A.H. Gaubart Fund - supports summer 

travel and language study abroad by midshipmen and newly commissioned 

Naval Academy graduates. Programs are offered in Russian, Japanese, Spanish, 

French and German. 

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

fellowships awarded for study at civilian colleges and universities. These 

graduate studies can be pursued in various fields while graduates recei\·e pay 

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

class can begin postgraduate studies under these scholarships immediately after 

graduating from the Naval Academy. Such scholarships include: 

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

Aerospace Engineering Major 

The aerospace engineenng department offers one of the most exciting and challenging academic 

programs at the Naval Academy. The program is structured to produce naval officers who will 

serve in the forefront of the inception, de,·elopment and employment of 1 avy air and space assets. 

The cumculum provides a background in engineering fundamentals through courses in 

chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering mechanics, thermodynamics and electricaI 

engineering. With these subjects as a base, students undertake aerospace engineering topics 

including aerodynamics, propulsion and aerospace structures. The major is accredited by the 

Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and 

Technology 

In the area of aeronautics, students extend their study of aerodynamics, flight structures and flight 

mechanics. The astronautics track allows students to study astrodynamics, satellite attitude 

dynamics and control, and the space environment. Both tracks conclude with a design course, 

which allows midshipmen to apply their engineering knowledge to the design of an aero or space 

flight velllcle. Both tracks also involve thorough laboratory experimentation. The Naval 

Academy's aerospace laboratory facilities are some of the most ad,·anced and extensive in the 

country These facilities include structures, propulsion and rotor labs; variable stability aircraft 

simulator; spacecraft tracking and experimentation facilities; and various wind tunnels "~th flow 

velocilles ranging from subsonic to supersonic 

The aerospace eng,neenng major is not required for midshipmen who just want to fly The i'\aval 

Academy prepares all midshipmen to become professional officers in the naval service, and upon 

commissioning they can choose from exciting careers in the aviation, surface or subsurface 

communities, or ser\'ice m the Marine Corps. 

Graduates from the aerospace engmeermg major are also fully prepared to undertake 

postgraduate education programs in engineering disciplines either at the \;aval Postgraduate

Naval Architecture Major 

The naval architecture major is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the 

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The major is unlike most engineering 

disciplines that are unified by the nature of the phenomena involved. This major originally came 

into bemg as a discipline because of a single end-product, the ship. A special combination of 

knowledge and experience is needed to develop, design and build this single product. Variety 

exists not only Ill the kinds of work (design, research, cost-estimation, management), but also in 

the types of craft involved - from sailboats to aircraft carriers, hydrofoil boats to catamarans and 

submarines to surface-effect vehicles 

,aval architects use both art and engineering in designing ships. Armed with imagination and 

experience, they convert functional requirements into a suitable, cost-effective design. They 

analyze and select the best dimensions and hull form, calculate the power requirements and 

estimate the weights of the principal components. They design and analyze the hull structure and 

decide on the location of military sub-systems, machinery spaces, accommodations and stores. 

Additionally, the ship must be divided into watertight compartments so that, if damaged, the 

chances of survival are maximized Weighing and compromising all such connicting needs in the 

design of the ship are the creative and challenging responsibilities of the naval architect. 

\!a val architecture at the Naval Academy approaches these topics in a fully integrated program 

of classroom sessions, hands-on laboratory work, field trips and the latest in computer-aided 

design and analysis techniques. Two towing tanks, a circulating water channel and a static 

stability tank are some of the many facilities available to midshipmen majoring in naval 

architecture. A distinguished and innovative faculty complement these outstanding facilities and 

contribute to making this one of the finest undergraduate majors available in its field. A bachelor 

of science in naval architecture is awarded.

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean engineenng is the key to the last frontier on earth- the ocean depths. Ocean scientists have 

provided us with a basic knowledge of the ocean environment; it is up to the ocean engineer to 

apply modem engineering principles enable us to work in a11d use this environment more 

effectively. By blending the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, materials science and 

oceanography with the basic elements of civil, mechanical and electrical engmeering, the ocean 

engineer is able to apply this knowledge to ocean materials, power systems, acoustics, wave 

mechanics, life support systems, ocean energy and a wide variety of ocean vehicles and offshore 

and coastal structures. 

The ocean engmeering major is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the 

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The major offers an integrated program of 

study, using a balance between classroom theory, laboratory work and practical application 

providing midshipmen with the background to work effectively as ocean engineers. LaboratOr)' 

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 instrumented with 

sophisticated sensors and on-line data acquisition and analysis equipment. A circulating water 

chaiu1el, hyperbaric test facility, a sediment and materials laboratory and an environmental 

chamber are also available. The Naval Academy's computer systems are used in solving design 

problems and preparing computer-aided designs. Supervising, dfrecting and teaching this 

program is a team of professionals recogni7ed for providing one of the finest undergraduate 

majors in ocean engineering available in the country. A bachelor of science in ocean engineering 

is awarded.

Chemistry Major 

.. ,, , 

The chemistry major at the Naval Academy provides midshipmen with training in all of the 

d1sc1phne's traditional fields, leading lo a bachelor of science degree certified by the American 

Chemical Society. 

All chemistry majors take required courses in organic, inorganic, analytical and physical 

chemistry. In addition to the required courses, midshipmen may take advanced courses in each 

of lhL>se subject areas. Individual laboratory research projects enable midshipmen to investigate 

topics of particular interest to them under the guidance of a faculty member. 

Chemistrv is an experimental science, and many hours are devoted to laboratory work. The 

chemistry department at the Naval Academy has one of the finest undergraduate laboratories m 

the nation, with modem spaces and a wide array of instrumentation. Skilled technicians maintain 

the laboratories, assist the faculty and help midshipmen solve practical problems in the labs.

Physics Major 

The ma1or program in physics presents fundamental physical concepts and principles in such a 

manner as to emphasize their general usefulness and lays a strong foundation for further work in 

a broad range of technical fields. The challenge of physics hes in uniting its laws and definitions, 

expressed through mathematics, with the integrative reasonmg so essential in modeling and 

solvmg new problems. A bachelor of science degree 1s awarded 

Some uf the topics treated in the sequence of courses are the origin, propagation and reception of 

waves of all kinds, field concepts, theory of relativity, mechanics, electromagnetic theory, basic 

theorv ot quantum mechanics and quantum mechanics. All are studied with the object of 

de,·elopmg an open-minded and creative approach to the physical world and problem solving --

,m approach mcreasingly important to those who will be the leaders in the Navy of the future. The 

phy,ics major is excellent background for most of the major avy and vlanne career paths, and 

recent physics ma1or graduates have chosen the nuclear power program, Navy air, surface line 

and the vlarines. Opporl\1nilles for work toward advanced degrees are available to qualif,ed 

plws1cs majors prior to graduation, immediately after graduation and later in their careers. 

In physics, laboratorv work is emphasized and students will have access lo eight laboratories for 

regul.u coursework and research that mcludc special facihties for acoustics, atomic physics, 

nuclear phvs1cs, laser optics and solid state physics. 11,erc arc also four faculty research 

laboratories, a photographic darkroom and well-equipped machine and electronics shops. Major 

im,truments include a Pelletron accelerator, 7-inch refracting and 16-inch re0ecting telescopes, 

an anechoic chamber, electron spin resonance and nuclear spin resonance facilities, high 

resolution spcctrographs, x-ray d,ffractrometer, picosecond laser system, a superconductmg 

magnet, a helium dilution refrigerator, various cryogenic systems and numerous microcomputers 

tor student use m data collecllon and processing.

Athletics 

Just as the Naval Academy maintains a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so also must it fulfill its 

responsibility for each midshipman's physical development. This is met 

through an intercollegiate sports program that is one of the broadest in the 

nation •· 23 men's and 10 women's varsity teams - and an equally ambitious 

intramural program. All midshipmen are required to participate in these 

programs, either at the varsity or intramural level. 

Vice Admiral William P. Lawrence, Fonner superintendent of the Naval 

Academy and an ex-POW in Vietnam, once noted: "l think there is one 

characteristic of the American people that contributes immensely to the 

greatness of our country and that's our dedication to excellence m every way 

of American life. And I think we attach a high degree of significance to 

excellence in physical fitness. lntercoUegiate sports more or less represent the 

ullimate in excellence i11 amateur sports - that's one of the real values oi 

intercollegiate athletics. It's great for the spirit and morale of the country to 

have this demonstration of physical excellence at the collegiate level. 

Intercollegiate sports impart those values a military leader must have to a 

large degree." Admiral Lawrence has been the recipient of two of this nation's 

most prestigious athletic awards -- the ational Football Foundation and Hall 

of Fame's Gold Medal and the Theodore Roosevelt Award from the National 

Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). 

The roll call of varsity "N" winners al the Naval Academy reads like a 

venlable Who's Who in America -- Rear Admiral Alan B. Shepard, the first 
American 111 space and a member of the heavyweight crew; Admira l 

Stansfield Turner, ex-football lineman who became director of the Central 

Intelligence Agency; Admiral Arleigh Burke, a wrestler who later was Chief of 

'\lava! Operations; Rear Admiral Richard Byrd, the polar explorer who 

captained the Navy gymnastics team; Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, also a 

fnrmC'r Navy oarsman; and Fleet Admiral Bull Halsey of World War U fame, a 

football player at the academy. In recent years, the names have been Heisman 

Trophy winners Joe Bellino and Roger Staubach, football greats Phil 

McConkev and apoleon McCallum who went on to play in the ational 

Football League; and 1987's Collegiate Basketball Player of the Year, David 

Robm~on. 

Rob111son powered the midshipmen to the NCAA basketball tournament three 

straight years in the 1980s, was named the National Basketball Association 

"Rookie of the Year'' in 1990 and was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic gold 

mednl basketball team. 

A year ago, 21 Navy varsity student-athletes were accorded All-America 

honors, and the pistol and sailing teams won national titles. ln addition, Navy 

won conference or regional championships in nine sports. 

Over the years, Navy teams have been successful in both national and 

111ternalional arenas. \llidshipmen football teams have participated in the 

Ro~e, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, l loliday, Garden State and Liberty Bowls, and 

'\a\, s nvalrv with Army is one of America's greatest sports traditions. 

"The two 111ost i111porla11t 

co11cepts to remember at the 

academy are always keep a 

positive 111e11tal attitude a11d 

give it nil yo11 've got!" 

1:11

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

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

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

performance) at the lntercollegiate Rowing Association Championships five 

times in recent years, including 1992. And Navy's women's crews captured the 

Seitz Trophy at the Dad Vail Regatta for the sixth consecutive year in 1990. 

In addition to the meda.1-winning crews, Navy athletes over the years have 

been frequent medal winners in 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 1988 games in addition to the 

gold medal in 1992. 

Navy's pistol team has dominated the collegiate world in recent years, 

winning national titles in 17 of the past 18 years. And midshipmen teams in 

men's basketball, men's cross country, women's cross country, men's fencing, 

lacrosse, rifle, soccer, women's swimming, water polo and women's volleyball 

have all earned berths in NCAA championship competition in the past 

decade. 

The Naval 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 to 50-foot ocean racers with a crew of 14. The academy 

sponsors many of these regattas, il1cluding the McMi!Jan Cup and the John F. 

Kennedy Memorial Regatta. Last year, a midshipmen-lead crew captured the 

prestigious Newport-Bermuda race, beating world-class competitors, many 

with America's Cup crew members aboard.

"At the Naval Academy, the athletic program is not just an extracurricular activity, rt 

rs part of the mission and as such receives a priority much different than at a civilian 

school. The athletic teams are an integral part of the overall education of a total 

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

plav, cooperative effort, commitment and individual sacrifice for goals that some 

may or may not be able to achieve Athletics are a big part of every midshipman's 

life at the Naval Academy 

"In our program everyone has a wide variety of athletic choices, as well as the 

required physical education curriculum. The primary goal of the physical education 

curriculum lS fitness, which is so vital for health, personal appearance and 

we!J-being 

"We hope to interest and insure proficiency in what we ca!J 'carry-over' sports that 

our young men and women can enjoy for a lifetime, such as tennlS, golf, squash,

Service Selection 

The carL>er options a\'ailable to '\a\'al Academv graduates are the broadest 

offered b\ any of the nation's service academies. You can: 
specialize in surface warfare, with assignments in ships ranging from 

minesweepers and hydrofoil patrol gunboats to guided missile cruisers; 

• enter the submarine service, with duty in nuclear-powered attack and 

ballistic missile submarines; 

• flv a variety of aircraft from helicopters and shore-based patrol planes to 

supersonic, aircraft carrier-based jet fighters; 

• work with nuclear propulsion systems, powerful computers and 

sophisticated weapons systems in locations around the world; 

• command infantry, armor, artillery or aviation units as a Marine Corps 

officer; and 

• lead the most talented and highly motivated sailors and Marines in the 

world, no matter what career path you choose. 

You choose your Navy or Marine Corps career field at the beginning of the 

second semester of your senior year or about four months before graduation. 

Midshipmen with the highest class standing have first choice, so options and 

choices of assignment may be affected by class rank as well as by personal and 

physical qualifications. However, every attempt is made to grant you the duty 

and location you request. 

"Of all the acade1111es, the 

Naval Academy offers 

more opport1111ilies 

tha11 all the others." 

137

"As fnr ns career 

opportwufies, vou !(•rite tire

Surface warfare 

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

you select 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 typically 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, gunnery 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 Navy surface 

warfare officer. 

Submarine force 

Those choosing the silent service begin by studying tavy nuclear propulsion 

after graduation as described on the next page. You then go to Navy 

Submarine School in New London, Conn., for the 10-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 15 to 20 men. You 

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

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

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

steps towards earning the gold dolphins of a avy submarine officer. 
N uclear propulsion 

The '\avy·s demanding and highly technical nuclear power training program 

1s among the best in the world. Those chosen for the program usually rank 

high 111 their class and have a solid background in scientific and technical 

courses, though not necessarily majors m these areas. 

'v11dshipmen who choose surface warfare can join those choosing submarines 

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

into the nuclear power program, you report to Nuclear Power School in 

Orlando, Fla., for six months of schooling following graduation from the 

academy. You then train for six months at one of se,·eral nuclear reactor 

prototype sites located throughout the country before reporting to your first 

ship. 

All of the i\avy·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 conventionally powered 

ships as they advance in their careers. 

Naval avia tion 

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

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

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

constantly called upon to perform under pressure. When you choose 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.

Marine Corps 

Up to one-sixth of each graduatmg class may elect to be commissioned as 

second lieutenants in the \1anne Corps. After graduation from the academv, 

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

school gi,·es all Marine officers a common background m the tactical study of 

land warfare. Then vou go on to advanced training in a particular 

occupational speoaltv ba-..ed on your qualifications and preferences. 

\1arine Corps career fields include those m the two basic categories of ground 

and air. Ground c,1reer choices 111clude infantry, armor, artillery, logistics, 

eng111eenng, data processmg and communic,1tions. Aviation choices include 

pilot, naval flight officer, air command and control, anti-air warfare, a\'lahon 

maintenance and a\'iation supply. 
In their first assignments, Marine Corps second lieutenants generally are 

assigned as platoon commanders with leadership responsibilities for 20 to 25 

enlisted Marines. You often have a role m a Manne air/ground task force, 

with \llarine light mfantry capable of opposing much more heavily equipped 

forces. Meshing of air and ground officers in these task forces and individual 

units gives officers the opportunity later to command combined units, not just 

within career specialties. 

Restricted line and staff corps specialties for men 

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

can be commissioned as active duty officers can choose from a wide variety of 

alternatives and pursue a career all the way to the flag officer rank of admiral. 

Restricted line and staff corps officers make careers in the fields of intelligence, 

crvptology, oceanography, geophysics, medicine, engi11eering, supply, 

aviation maintenance, salvage and rescue, and public affairs. They serve 

aboard ships, with aircraft squadrons and at shore bases around the world. 

Graduating male 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 Oighl officer, or drive ships as a surface warfare officer. 

Following training, you would be assigned aboard a variety of Navy support 

ships including combat logistics ships such as oilers, tenders, training frigates 

and supply ships or in noncombatant aircraft. Women officers are also eligible 

for temporary assignments (up to six months) to any ship, including 

combatants, if a combat mission is not envisioned during the temporary duty 

period. 

Many women graduates are commissioned in the general unrestricted line 

and choose U.S. and overseas shore duty assignments in space and electronic 

warfare, integrated undersea surveillance or other essential fleet support jobs. 

Following training, you could be assigned at naval facilities, communications 

sites, space support commands or major shore installations. 

Women may also enter restricted line or staff corp specialties such as diving 

operations, oceanography, intelligence, supply, medicine or civil engineering. 

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 those that 

could place them in combat situations. Occupational specialties open to 

women include supply, administration, communications, law, data processing

After Your First Tour of Duty 

By the time you complete your first tour of duty, you will probably have a 

pretty good idea about your career goals, and the Navy and Marine Corps 

will give you every opportunity to achieve them. You will have assignments 

to prepare you for advancement and command of a surface ship, submarine, 

aircraft squadron, Marine Corps unit or an organization ashore. 

Naval officers alternate between tours of duty with shore-based units and 

operational commands that deploy overseas in support of our nation's 

maritime strategy. You also have the opportunity for postgraduate study, 

advanced technical training in your specialty and coursework al military 

service colleges in leadership, management, tactics, strategy, politico-military 

affairs and international relations. You never stop learning, even as your 

responsibilities for people, opera lions and policy-making increase.

The Board of Visitors 

The duty of the academy's Board of Visitors is to inquire into the state of 

morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal 

affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the academy which 

the board decides to consider (Ex. Section 6968, Title 10, U.S. Code). The board 

consists of six presidential appointees, three vice presidential appointees, four 

appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives, and a member 

designated by the Am1ed Services Committee from both the Senate and the 

House. The president of the United States receives a written report of the

Naval Academy Athletic Association 

The Naval Academy Athletic Association ( AAA) promotes and finances the 

academy's intercollegiate athletic program, which is one of the largest athletic 

programs of any college or university 111 the United States. NAAA is 

responsible for the coaching, equipping, travel and lodging, promotion, 

ticketing and administrative support of all 33 varsity sports. NAAA also 

operates and maintains Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, a golf course 

and other athletic facilities for the academy. 

As another service, NAAA operates the Naval Academy Visitors Center and 

Tour Guide Service. Any profits from these operations go to the Naval 

Academy's Memorial Fund, which supports special events and activities of 

the brigade. NAAA works actively with outstanding high school 

student-athletes who are interested in applying to the Naval Academy. 

NAAA coaches recruit young men and women according to the rules and 

regulations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). 

Membership in NAAA is open to all Navy sports fans. NAAA"s main offices 

are in Ricketts Hall, next to the Visitors Center. 

The Naval Academy Sailing f oundation 

The Naval Academy Sailing Foundation was organized in 1973 to support the 

academy's sailing program. Through the foundation, yachts can be donated 

for use in midshipmen sail training and competition. Such donations also 

have created an endowment that helps support the sailing program. The 

executive director of the foundation has an office in the aval Academy"s

Appendix A: Medical Considerations 

The Department of Defense \11ed1cal Examinallon Review Board (DOD\IERB) 

in Colorado Springs, Colo., schedules your medical examination and e\'aluates 

vour medical condition very carefullv before you can be offered an 

i!ppomtment to the \.aval Academ\ This is to deteimine whether you ha\'e a 

medical or physical condition that might mterfore with, or be aggra\'ated by, 

the academv s ngorous program or bar you from unrestricted service as an 

officer in thl• \.a\·v or .\llarine Corps. 

'111,ijor mL•dical considerations are summarized here so that you and your 

physician and dentist can anticipate whether you meet the basic requirements 

for admission to the academy This is '\OT a comprehensive listing of all 

disqualifying conditions, but rather a brief and general guide for your 

convenience. 

Waivers 

Some medical requirements ..:an be wa1\·ed for candidates who othem·ise are 

highly qualified The report of vour medical examination is renewed carefully 

and you recei\'e a written summary of the results. If you haw a disqualifying 

condition but would like us to consider ,·our application further, you mav 

requ6t a wa1\"er of the standard bv \,nllng to the admiss10ns board at the 

ac,1demy. If ,·our adm1ss1ons record 1s compellti\·e, the board asks DOD\IIERB 

lo prepare vour medical file for wa1\er consideration. DOD\i!ERB ma, ask 

you to provide amplifying infonnation on the condition or to undergo 

e\ aluation by a medical specialist DOD\IERB re\'iews all of the a\'ailable 

mformation and may seek independent re\ iew and an ,1d\'ison opinion from 

the staff of the Bureau of \,ledtcme and Surgery in Washington If vour 

condition mav be wai\'ed, and not all conditions mav, vour entire record is 

reconsidered ·bv the adm1ss1ons board. The board gra1;ts a wai\'er 1f your 

record suggesh you han! greater potential for success as a midshipman and 

na\·al officer than do competmg candidates who are phvsically qualified 

Med ical history 

DOD\i!ERB will re\·iew vour medical histon for mformation on illnesses, 

in Juries, surgen, familial diseases and other factors that could affect vour 

pl1\ steal condition. ) ou might be asked to submit addition,,! reports from 

phvs1C1ans or hospitals. Correctable problems, includmg dental defecb, 

should be taken care of before vour e,amination for the \.a\'al Academy. 

Eyes and vision 

This is the most common problem area for candidates. Our basic requirement 

for admission 1s normal (20/20) uncorrected nsual acuit\· in e,,ch e\'e. The 

ad1ntss1ons board automattcalh considers wa1\·er of the \"is~al acutt\' siandard 

for candidates who are othen~'ise phvsicalh qualtfied, who ha\·e exceptional 

schol,1stic and leadership potential, and who meet the following additional 

requ1remenh: 

• nsion corrects to 20 20 in each eye with eveglas~es (not contact lenses); 

• refractt\·e error does not exceed 6.00 diopters in any meridian in either 

eye; 

• astigmattsm docs not l''\Ceed 3.00 d10ptcrs in either ,•ye; and 
• the difference in refracl!ve error between the two eyes does not exceed 

3.50 diopters. 

Again, 1f the 011/11 problem is that your 1111correclcd visual acuity is not normal, 

the Admissions Board will automatically consider waiver of this standard. 

You need not request this wa1\'er · 

Color perception 11111st be normal. Color vision is retested on Induction Day. 

Do not unde rgo radial keratotomy if you hope to attend the a val Academy. 

Radial kcratotomy, keratomileusis, epi.keratophakia, orthokeratology and all 

other surgical, laser or mechanical procedures performed to correct visual 

acuity are disqualifying, and waivers are not considered. Keratoconus is 

disqualifying. 

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

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

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

for 21 days before your examination.

Height and we ight standards 

The mm1mum quahfymg height 1s 62 mche~ for men and 60 inches for women, 

and the ma,imum qualifying height for all candidates is 78 mch~. \\aivers 

may be granted b\ the admissions board to a lim1tt'<l number of e"eptional 

candidates whose height falls either above or below these ~tandards. 

Tht.> minimum qualifying weight Cb, height) standards an~ listed in the table 

abo\'e Because of substantial vanallon m candidates body composition, we 

do nut use a ma'1mum weight (bv height) standard Instead of maximum 

weight, the qualifvmg standard is body fat percentage no more than 25 

percent for men and 15 percent for women. To help candidates, however, we 

adopted a table of m,"1mum screening weights that will approximate a body 

fat percentage slighth le..,s than the ma'1mum acceptable If vour weight is at 

least the minimum ,ind not more than the maximum shown for vour height on 

the table ab<.n·e, we will assume that ,·our bodv fat percentage 1s acceptable. 

If vour weight exceeds that shown in the table as the maximum for vour 

height, 00D\IERB will as!.. vou to prO\'ide se,·eral measurements (1f these 

were not recorded at the time of your mttial physical examination) from which 

vour bod) fat percentage will be e~timated 00D\,IERB will pro,·ide clear 

1m,tructions for these s1mph.' measurements You may as!.. \"Our gym teacher 

(perhaps when you tal-.e vour Physical Aptitude faammation), your Blue and 

Gold Officer,,, coach, or vour school nurse to tal-.e the measurements 

Obesity will not be wa1\'ed If vou exceed the bodv fat percentage standard on 

Induction Day vou should e,pect not to be mducted 
Heart and vascular system 

TI1ese conditions are disqualifying: uncorrected septa] defects; congenital, 

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

heart rate or rhythm; blood pressure predominantly in the range of 160/90 or 

greater; severe or symptomatic varicose veins; and mitral valve prolapse 

which has either caused symptoms or been associated with rhythm 

disturbance or regurgitation. 

Ears and hearing 

Both ears must be free of tympanic perforation and acute and chrome disease. 

The average of the hearing loss at 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz in either ear may not 

exceed 30 decibels (150), and the loss at any one of these three frequencies 

may not exceed 35 decibels. The maximum acceptable loss in either ear at 3000 

I lz is -15 decibels and al -1000 Hz, 55 decibels. 

Respiratory system 

Asthma, recurrent asthmatic bronchitis, exercise-induced bronchospasm or 

reactive airway disease by any other name is disqualifying. Nasal polyps, 

severe hay fever and tuberculosis (if active within two years) will also result in 

rejection. Nasal septa! deviation, hypertrophic rhinitis and other conditions 

which cause significant reduction of now through either airway or which 

mtcrfere with drainage of a smus are disqualifying; after surgical repair of a 

deviated septum, waiver may be possible. Allergy immunotherapy, unless 

established at monthly maintenance and expected to be discontinued no more 

than two years after matriculation, is disqualifying. 

Musculoskel etal system 

Ununited fractures, history of surgery to a major joint within six months, 

history of derangement of any major joint not corrected by surgery or 

eYidence of instability subsequent to surgery, history of anterior cruciate 

ligament inJury, certain retained orthopedic fixation devices, arthritis, severe 

scoliosis, symptomatic structural abnormalities of the spinal column, and 

herniated nucleus pulposis or history of surgery to the spine for this or any 

other condition are disqualifying. 

155 
156 

Genitourina ry system 

Persistence of protein (except documented benign orthostatic proteinuria), 

sugar, or red or white blood cells in the urine is disqualifying, as are 

bedwettmg 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 are 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 1s 

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 affective illness, personality disorder or immaturity, stammering or 

stuttering, eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia, learning disabilities, 

and sleepwalking persisting into adolescence also are disqualifying. 

Skin 

Chronic diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and eczema are cause for 

rejection. Severe 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, if evidenced by a 

discharging mass, is cause for rejection unless repaired successfully. 

Other disqualifying conditions 

Some other disqualifying conditions include abdominal 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 1101 disqualifying); 

any active communicable infection; generalized reaction to stinging insect 

venom; allergy to common foods requiring special dietary considerations; 

drug abuse or alcohol dependence evidenced in a urine drug test and a breath 

or blood alcohol test performed at the time of your physical examination; and 

exposure to the virus associated with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency 

Syndrome). Testing for the presence of AJDS virus antibodies is performed in 

both the initial medical examination and on Induction Day at the Naval 

Academy. A confirmed positive result in either test 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 yom medical examination. Missing teeth causing 

reduced masticatory (chewing) or incisal (biting) efficiency must be replaced 

by well-designed bridges or partial dentures in good condition. lf you are 

undergoing active orthodontic treatment which will not be completed prior to 

your entry into the Naval Academy, you may request a waiver. Do not have 

braces removed prior to completion of treatment unless advised by the aval 

Academy 
Other disqualifying dental conditions include: 

• infections or chronic diseases of the soft tissue of the oral cavity; 

• marked malocclusion that requires early or prolonged treatment, involves 

tissue 11npingement on either the facial or lingual/palatal gingiva, or 111 

some 0thcr way 1eopardi/es dental health; 

• unsatisfactory restorations, bridges, or dentures; 

• severe or extensive apical or periodontal infection; 

• perforahons from the oral cavity into the nasal cavity or maxillary sinus; 

or 

• tumors or cysts of the oral tissues that can be expected to require 

treatment 111 the foreseeable future. 

Concluding comments 

As you will realize from the foregoing summary, the physical examination for 

adm1ss1on to the Naval Academy is comprehensive, and the medical and 

dental standards are exacting. This is necessary because our goal is for every 

midshipman to be able to anticipate unrestricted opportunities for 

comm1ss1oned service after graduation. For most candidates, the physical 

examination process will require no more than a single visit to a physician's 

and a dentist's office For others, questions will arise that may necessitate a 

varietv of additional evaluations. We kno\\ this can become time-consuming 

but we hope you will understand the reason for concern. The questions 

resolve favorably for the majority of candidates. Many disqualifying 

conditions may be potentially waived (see discussion on page 152). Staff 

members at DODMERB and in the admissions office will assist in every way 

possible.
