Around the Yard 

!'he scenic Naval Academy campus, known as the Yard, is located in historic Annapolis, Md., where the Severn River 

flows imo the Chesapeake Bay. With its combination of early 20th-century and modern buildings, rhe Naval Academy 

1s a blend of cradirion and state-of-the-arr technology char exemplifies today's Navy and Marine Corps. Throughout 

rhe Yard, tree-shaded monuments commemorate the bravery and heroism char are an inherent part of the academy's 

heritage. Buildings and walkways arc named for Naval Academy graduates who have conrributed to naval hiscory and 

their nation. 

The Naval Academy also is the final resting place of Revolutionary War naval hero John Paul Jones whose words, 

"I have not ycr begun ro fight," have inspired generations of U.S. Navy officers. His crypt is located beneath rhe 

Academy chapel, also known as che Cathedral of che Navy. A National Historic Sire. che Naval Academy hosts about 

one million tourists every year from all over the Un ired Scares and around rhe world. They come to enjoy rhe natural 

beauty of the Yard, co recall some of rh,s country's naval hiscory and co marvel ar the rradirions carried on in 

m1dsh1pmen parades and milirary formations. 

Tourists and midshipmen also appreciate downtown Annapolis, which lies outside chc gates of che Academy. Wirh irs 

colonial charm and busy warerfronr, Maryland's scare capital provides a pleasant, diverse secring for one of America's 

premier collcgc5, the Un ired States Naval Academy. 

Hiscory 

Founded 111 1845 by Secretary of rhe Navy George Bancroft, the Academy srarced as d,e Naval School on IO acres 

of old Fon Severn in Annapoli,. Since rhen, the development of the Naval Academy has reflected rhe hiscory of rhe 

Urrncd Scares. As our country has changed culturally and technologically, so has Lhe Naval Academy. In only a 

fe,, decades, the Navy has moved from a fleer of sail and steam-powered ships ro a high-rech fleer wirh nuclearpowered submarines and surface ships and supersonic aircraft. The Academy has changed, coo, giving 

rrndshipmen chc up-co-dare academic and professional training they need lO be e!Teccive naval officers in their 

assignments afrcr graduacion. 

In 1850 chc Naval School became the United Scares Naval Academy. A new curriculum wenr inro c!Tecr 

n:qu1nng midshipmen co study at rhc Academy for four years and to ,rain aboard ships each summer. Thai 

form.it 1s che basis of a far more advanced and sophisticated curriculum ar the Naval Academy roday. As rhe U.S. 

Na\') grc\\ over the years, rhe acadcm} expanded. The campus of 10 acres increased to 338. The original scudcnr 

bod) of 55 midshipmen grew ro a brigade of 4,000 midshipmen. Modern granite buildings replaced che old 

wooden Hrucrurcs of Fon Severn and the Naval School.

Congress authorized the Naval Academy co begin awarding bachelor of science degrees 

in 1933. The Academy lacer replaced a fixed curriculum caken by all midshipmen wich 

chc presenc core curriculum plus 19 major fields of srudy, a wide variecy of elective 

courses and advanced scudy and research opportunicies. 

The Naval Academy firsc accepced women as midshipmen in 1976, when Congress 

auchorized che admission of women co all of che service academies. Women comprise abouc 

15-17 percenc of enrering plebes-or freshmen-and chey pursue che same academic

dedicated co a career of naval service and have pocencial for fucure developmenc in mind 

and characcer co assume che highesc responsibilities of command, citizenship and 

governmenr." This puts everyone-faculcy, scaff and midshipmen-on rhe same 

wavelcngch. Ir also encourages a sense of spirit and pride found ac few ocher schools. 

Program 

The moral, memal ,rnd physical elements of our program are equally imporcanc, all 

concribucing ro the qualiries of an ourscanding naval officer.

Our Commitment 

Serring apart the Naval Academy from almost every ocher college and university in the 

country is our commitment co rhe rocal developmenr of our scudents. Some ocher colleges 

offer more majors 111 academics. Some put more emphasis on intercollegiate arhlerics. Bue 

nowhere dse do you have a better opporruniry to grow inrelleccually, personally and 

physically rhan ar the Naval Academy. If you are chosen ro enrer rhe Naval Academy, we 

believe you can complete rhis cough, four-year program. In face, we are committed to rhe 

principle of helping every midshipman succeed. We back up char comm1tmenr with ... 

• Small class size. Mose classes have no more than 22 srudents. When you are an

upperclassman, some courses in your major may have only five co IO ocher students. 

• Low scudent-co-faculry ratio. Faculry members gee ro know you personally

in and our of che classroom. They also are available co help with exrra instruction or special 

projects. lc's nor unusual co 1111d professors and midshipmen burning the lace-night oil 

cogcrher in an academy research lab or ar a computer terminal. 

• Procecred srudy rime. Evening study period is reserved from 7:30 p.m. to midnight

Sunday rhrough Friday to help all midshipmen keep up with their courses. Additionally, 

Nimit7 Library, computer labs and ocher facilities are open for midshipmen use all day and 

evening, seven days a week. 

• Academic advising. To help you plan your curriculum, you ger group and individual

counseling as well as an academic adviser early in plebe year. A permanent faculry adviser is 

assigned when you select your major. 

• Leadership and counseling. Your company officer and senior midshipmen also

guide, moniror and evaluate your progress in academics, military performance and conduct. 

They also 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 newlyarriYed midshipmen, offering a home away from home and a place ro rela..x ofF campus. 

More than enough families volunteer co give every midshipman a local sponsor. These 

contacts often grow into deep friendships char lase a lifetime. 

Your Commitment 

Becoming a midshipman at the Naval Academy is a big seep. Ir's not like starting your 

freshman year ar a civilian college. You make a commic.menr ro live a milira.ry lifesryle. 

You take an oath of office, promising co be loyal to your counrry and to defend it if 

necessary. You agree to be honorable in everyrhing you do and say. You're also expected to 

work harder rhan you've ever worked before and to push yourself beyond your old limits. 

This is how we prepare you for the challenging responsibilities of sen·ice as a naval 0A-1cer 

and the opportunities of a lifetime in che Navy and Marine Corps. 
Represent the Best of America. 

I 'he Brigade of Midshipmen represents the best this nation has co offer: 8 I% of che Brigade 

were m che top fifth of cheir high school class; 8�o were varsity achletes in high school and 85% were 

k-ttcr winners; 2""% served as high school president or vice president. 

The 200.3 Princeton Review ranked the U.S. Naval Academy: #2 for accessibility of 

professors; #4 on rhe "scone-cold sober" lisr; #8 for roughest co get into; !!7 for highest number 

of study hours put in by ,rudencs; #""' for its smooth running administr.nion, and# 12 for besr 

O\'trnll ,1cademic experience.

Naval Academy Denn o

f Admissiom Dave 1⁄4rte,; has a kmg nssocinuon 

with the Naval Academy. Dean 1⁄4tter gnuluared with the Class of 1967 

and first returned 10 Annapolis to serve on the faculty and teach economics 

as a Marine Corps /'da101'. He was the recipient of the academy's William 

P Clements Award for excellence in education in 1981. Later m his 

career, he served ,is the academy s second Character Development Officer, 

and then, after 30 years of Afarme Corps service, he became rhe Dean of 

Admissro11s in June 1997. 

"The admissions process ar rhe Naval Academy is unique in chat we 

are not jusr selecring men and women for the purpose of attending a 

college, rather we are selecting young Americans ro prepare chem for 

a calling LO service and a very special way of life. 

Members of rhe Admissions Board spend councless hours reviewing candidare records. This 

is a rough job because of the breadth and diversity of our candidates' backgrounds. They are 

aspiring achievers; highly motivated, well-rounded scudencs who excel not only academically, but also in athletics, leadership and service. The majority will enter direccly from high 

school, bur many ochers will come from college or prep school programs or from service as 

enlisted Sailors and Marines. 

I per�onally believe rhat all of rhe candidates we accepc can successfulJy complere che program 

if rhey mainrain their desire and morivacion. In face, over che lasr ren years, rhe Naval 

Academy hru, averaged a graduation rate of more chan 7- percent. I chink chis is amibutable 

ro the combination of our raking great care, firsc ro march che right candidates to our 

program, and rhen ro help chem succeed while they are here. 

If you have a strong will co achieve, desire a real challenge, and wam ro be a leader serving 

your country, rhe opportunity of a lifetime could begin for you at rhe United Scares Naval 

Academy. It 1s one of che grearesr advenrures you could possibly imagine!"

4. Apply for .1 nominauon. (See follow111g pages.)

5. Take the SAT-I or ACT college admission tests. Check with your school counselor or visit

their websites (www.collegeboard.com and www.act.org) for detail, of test daces and

n:g1str.rnon requirements. The two tests are designed differenclv, and we bave observed char

most candidate, perform s1gmfic.anch bercer on one than the ocher. Additionall), srudcncs

ohrn see a considerable ccsc score improvement on a second or third attempt at both tests.

The Naval Academy's Admissions Board uses the highest combinarion of verbal and mach

enhance their competiuvcness simply by taking both the SAT and the ACT more than once.

No11-stmulnr1/, 1111-timed tests nre 11ot acceprnble. 

Test n:sults from the Decrn,ber 6, 2003 SAT-I and the December 13, 2003 ACT are the

3. T,1ke the Qualifying Medical Examination. (Also see Appendix A.) The Naval

can<l1daces usuall) have lirde difficulcy passing che examination. However, conditions

arc somemnes 1dcncified which could e1rhcr be aggravaced by our rigorous program or

restrict military service afccr graduanon. Some medical considerations, including our

rc,·ised policy regarding cartoos and surgical/laser procedures to improve vision, are

<ll\cussed in Appendix A.

4. lntemew w1ch a Naval Academy lnformacion (Blue and Gold) Officer in your area

essential ro a succe5sful Naval officer. The offenses of lying, cheating, and stealing arc 

inrolerable in the brigade and may be cause for separation from the Naval Academy. The 

emphasis is on "doing what is right" rather than simply nor breaking 

the rules. 

To underscore their commitment co living a life of honor, midshipmen developed and 

implemented a living documem known as the Honor Treatise of the Brigade of Midshipmen. 

The Treatise is a positive and uplifting statement directly from the midshipmen expressing 

who they are and what they are striving lO achieve. In their own words, it secs forth the 

common goals and ideals which midshipmen envision for themselves at the Naval Academy 

as well as in the fleer. The Honor Concept and Honor Treatise are the brigade's way of 

preparing ics men and women for a life of honorable service co their coumry. After all, the 

fmure of rhc Naq, Marine Corps, and Naval Academy relies on ics men and women, and 

their dedication to strive ro do chat which is right. 

Four-Year Summary 

The pull-our chart on d,e previous page provides a diagram showing the highlights of the 

Naval Academy's four-year program. Each year ac the academy builds on the learning and 

experience of the previous year. As you complete basic courses and begin advanced srudies, 

you also cake on more responsibilit

y in leading underclassmen ac Annapolis and acting as a 

junior officer during summer professional training wich the fleer. 

Life in the Brigade 

No matter what your background, chances are the living arrangements at the academy are 

different from anything you have experienced. The day begins with reveille and ends with 

lights our. You stand watches, march ro meals and wear uniforms for almost everything you 

do. You and your roommates must keep your room ready for a military inspection at any 

time ,rnd keep your uniforms in regulation condition. Demerits are awarded for a room or 

uniform rhat is not in proper order or "squared away." 

All midshipmen live in Bancrofc Hall, a huge dormitory complex. You are assigned co a room 

with one or more midshipmen and live in close proximity co about I 30 other midshipmen in 

your company. l---lcn and women midshipmen from all four classes make up each company. 

Each company has 1cs own living area, called che wardroom, for meetings and recreation. 

Midshipmen rooms are wired for computers, lnrernet access and phones.

"An appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy is an extraordinary gift from the 

Amcncan people, and is the fim step in 1oining a proud tradition oFleadership 

and honorable ser\'icc to our great nation. The U. S. Naval Academy will provide 

you with a top notch academic education, superior athletic opportunities and an 

unparalldcd character and leadership development experience-an experience 

chat will provide you the foundation necessary to lead the men and women or 

our Navy and Manne Corps team. 

As a /I lidsh1pman you will be held to a higher srandard than that of your peers. You will be expected to 

conduce yourself as an officer at all times. Honor and integrity will be paramount in every aspect of your life. 

You will parricipare in spores year round and be exposed ro myriad unique leadership opporrnnities that only 

dw U.S. N,wal Academy can provide. Your summers will be spent around the world operating in the nect 

with rhc Navy and 1'v!arine Corps ream. Whether you are nying off of an aircraft carrier, sailing the seven seas, 

transversing the ocean depths or serving 111 rhc: field with our Marines, you will experience first hand the 

exciting opportunities that await you upon graduation and commissioning. 

The NaYal Academy is an experience unlike any other. Successful complerion will require your undivided 

Honor, Courage, and Commitment. The challenge is great but rhe opporrunicies are limirless. \1(/ill you accept

The company is rhe most important unit of the 4,000-mcmber Brigade of Midshipmen. Many 

of your most rewarding experiences at the Naval Academy arc those you share wirh members of 

rour company. You eat, sleep, srudy, drill, play and compete as teams wirh your company mates. 

You learn to trust and rely on each ocher. The company experience also gives you an idea of how 

ch111gs work in the Navy and Marine: Corps, where small-unit cohesion, teamwork and morale 

arc as important in peacetime operaLions as in combat. Each year, companies compete for che 

ride, 'Color Company', rhe besr in rhe brigade. 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 i, recognized at the 

Color Parade during Commissioning Week and then enjoys special pri\'ilcgcs for the next 

year, including the honor of representing the Naval Academy ar official functions such as

Plebe Summer 

All mid.shipmen begin the four-year program wich Plebe Summer, a period designed to turn 

civilians inro midshipmen. Plebe Summer is no gentle easing inro che military routine. Soon 

after entering the gate on lnduction Day, you are put into uniform and caught how co salute 

by the first class midshipmen and officers who lead rhe plebe indocrrinacion program. For 

rhe nexr seven weeks, you scare your days at dawn wich an hour of rigorous exercise and 

end chem long after sunset, wondering how you will make ic through the next day. Forger 

television, leisure rime or movies. You will have barely enough hours in che day co finish 

your assigned plebe casks. 

The Francie, exhausting pace of Plebe Summer leads you somewhere. le gees you ready for 

your responsibilities when chc brigade returns from summer training and che academic year 

begins. The summer also builds the foundation for the tangible and intangible qualities chac 

make an outstanding naval officer. You learn self-discipline. You learn co organize your cime 

and decide which things are most important. You reach cop physical condition. You develop 

your ability co chink clearly under stress and co react quickly when che unexpected comes 

your way. Any officer who has stood che watch on the bridge of a ship in a storm or landed 

a jet on che deck of an aircrafr carrier at night can cell you the importance of these qualities. 

Plebe Summer 111croduces you ro the basic how-ro's of che Navy as well. Aboard Naval 

Academy sailboats, you learn co respect the power of wind and current. [n motor boats and 

yard patrol craft, you learn the basics of seamanship, navigation and boar handling. On che 

weapons range, you learn how ro fire small arms safely and accurately. You also learn why we 

have high standards of honor, character and morality. And, you begin co develop your own 

ideas about leadership and the techniques chat will make you an effective leader when your 

cum comes. 

Academic Year 

When rhe upperclassmen return to the academy in lace August ro begin the academic year, 

you begin a routine char becomes very familiar during your four years. A typical weekday 

schedule looks somech111g like chis: 

5:30 a.m. 

6:30 a.m. 

6:30 - 7:00 a.m. 

7:00 a.m. 

7:10 a.m. 

7:55- 11:45:i.m. 

12:05 p.m. 

12:15 p.m. 

12:40 - I :20 p.m.

When you add to chis schedule the time required for military duties, inspection preparation and 

extra academic insrrucrion, you can see che demands on your rime are considerable. 
Leadership Responsibility 

A� you progress through the years at che academy, leadership responsibilities grow. Each 

year, you an<l your classmates assume more 1mporcanc roles in running your company. your 

banalion and Lhe bngade. By the time you are a first class midshipman, you are making daily 

decisions affecting the morale and performance of orher midshipmen. You are reaching them 

the fundamentals of the naval profession and helping them through difficulries. You are 

leading them through personal example, communications, rewards and discipline and other 

techniques you have learned in the dassroom and through chree years experience. Your 

leadership responsibilities also increase in summer professional training. After learning what 

it is like co be a Sailor aboard ship during second class cruise, you undertake the duries of a 

1un1or officer during your first class summer cruise. 

You build your leadership skills 111 these and ocher settings, where you can learn from 

mistakes and benefit from the guidance of seasoned Navy and Marine Corps officers. 

By the time you rake your position as a naval officer responsible for leading talented 

Sailors and i\farines, you know what leadership techniques and styles work best for 

you in different situations. 

Religious Activities 

The copper-green dome of che Chapel cowers over the ocher buildings in che Yard at 

chc Naval Academy and, in a sense, serves as a symbol of Annapolis co d1e outside world. 

This is more than a coincidence. Over the decades of our history, fighting Americans have 

learned by expenence chat there is a dimension co milirary leadership-both in 

and out of combar-iliat is essential co real effcrnveness. This is the spirirual factor, che 

intangible quality we call moral courage. 

It 1, dllS aspect of the academy's mission that ilie Command Religious Program strives m 

ful11ll: lO foster spiritual growth and promote the moral development of the midshipmen

Academy has long believed thac fururc officers owe 1t co themselves and co chose rhey will 

lead to g:un insights into moral, ethical and spiritual dimensions of military leadership.

Communiry service is encouraged, beginning with plebe year and continuing throughout 

the four-year training program. The core values of the Navy and the Naval Academyhonor, courage, and commitment-are found in every aspect of communiry service. Midshipmen have parcicipatt:d in activities such as "Mids for Kids," where entire companies

working with Special Olympics, Spring "Brea.kout"efforr with Chesapeake Bay Foundation,

Salvation Army as a parmer, glean excess harvest contributions from local farmers to cook 

and serve countless meals to homeless adults and children at the local shelter, and volunteer 

many hours helping at area hospitals. Midshipmen learn valuable problem-solving skills in a

Faculry 

Our 600-mcmber faculty 1s an intcgrarc<l group of officers an<l civilians in ncarl)· equal 

numbt:rs. Tlus composmon is unique among service academies. Ir dares from rhc earliest 

days of the Naval School when three: c1vtl1an teachers joined four Navy officers in the firsr 

faculty 111 1845. Officers rotate ro the Academy for two-10-rhrcc-year assignments, bnnging 

fresh 1<leas an<l experiences from operac1011al units and st,tffs of the Navy and Marine Corps. 

They can also explain how studies at the Academy arc applid in the fleer and che field. 

A small cadre of officer faculry who have docroraces add another dimem1on ro the reaching 

�raff ,1s Permanent 1\ lilitary Professors. The Academy\ ci"ilian faculty members give 

conunuiry to the educational program and form a core of professional scholarship an<l

arc rccogni1.cd as lcad111g scholars in cheir fields. Working cogerher closely, chese military and 

civiliai1 faculty members form one of chi: strongest and most dedicated reaching faculties of 

any college or university in the United States. Alrhough many faculty members are involved 

in schol,1rh n:scarch and writing, their first pnoricy always is teaching. 

Fr1mlty Senare 

founded in 1993 as a consolidation of rwo earlier faculty organizations, the United Scates 

Na,al Academy Fawlty Senate's primary purpose 1s ro advise rhe administration on faculty 

and curnculum m.mers. With a membership or approximate!} 30. the Senate is composed 

of rcprcscmauve,. boch military and civ1'1a11, from the various academic departments and 

div1siom. Typically, the Senate meets f\vice a momh dunng the academic year, conducting 

most of HS business based on reports from the vanous commmees ai1d subcommittees. 

An 1mponam goal of the Senate is to improve Yard-wide communication. As a result, senior 

Ac.1dcrny adm111istrators .ire ex-officio members of rhe Senate, addressing the membership on

Core Curriculum 

In four years at the Naval Academy, you are required ro cake certain core courses to make 

sure you are well prepared for the major career-path options available to Navy and 1'vlarine 

Corps officers. Majors courses also prepare you for advanced professional training and 

postgraduate educarion, 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, che Naval Academy gives midshipmen a balanced education 

m open practically any door of opportunity in the future. 

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

rhe foundation for the more advanced courses chosen by upperclass midshipmen. Some 

core requirements in the upperclass years have alternative courses from which co choose, 

depending on your academic background, abilities and major. 

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

Plebe ye111; first semester - I 6 cred11 hours 

• Calculus I - i\losr begin here, some validarc and are placed inro lacer calculus

courses and a few plebes not adequately prepared for calculus take a pre-calculus

course that does nor count as part of rhe minimum mathematics requirement.

• Chemistry I - Including laborarones.

• U.S. Governrnenc and Consrirutional Development - The foundation or

American democracy.

• Leaden,hip and Human Beha"ior - An examination of the fundamentals of

leadership within the co1uexl of individual .ind group bchanor.
• Rhe1oric and lncroducrion ro L1tcrarure I - Some plebes take a practical

wriung course co prepare for this class.

f'lebt· year. second semester - 18 credit hours 

• In addition LO these courses rnken for credit, a few hundred plebes who

have had liulc exposure co computers are providcd with six weeks of training.

• Calculus 11 - Conrinuacion of the first-semester course.

• Chemisrry 11 - Continuation of thc firs1-semesrer course.

• American Naval Hemagc - A history of chis country's Navy.

• r undamencals of Naval Science -The basic elements of shipboard

operation, organization and propulsion.

• Rhetoric and Introduction to Li ceraru re JI.

Advanced Placement 

1\lore 1han half of those entering rhe Naval Academy validate one or more courses. Each of 

lhc acadcmv's .tcadcm,c deparrments sets its own validation standards and considers one or 

more of the following: 

• rranscn pcs;

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

• College Enrrance Examination Board Achievement and Advanced Placemem tesrs. 

During Plebe )um mer, all entering midshipmen take placement exams in English, 

mathematics and science. Individual midshipmen may elect to rake placemcm exams in other 

d11c1plinc areas such as chemiscry, economics. hisrnry, physics, policical science ,111d foreign 

l.inguagc,. Lxcellent performance on che placemenr exams may result in a midshipman

validaung courses and thus accelerating portions of their academic program. Over four years,

chis mar permit chc scudem LO reduce chc number of courses taken in a particular semescer,

become eligible for special academic programs, for honors programs and graduate programs.

It m.1r allow a srudenr to complete a minor, or cake courses char m1ghr not otherwise fir into

the st.rndard academll sd,cdule.

\lcN pl.iccmcm exams arc scheduled during che first rwo weeks of Plebe Summer.

Grading 

Grades have an added dimension at the Naval Academy in char rhcy affect your status and 

privileges a!> a midshipman. As the major determinant or class rank, they also influence ship 

sdccrion or advanced training scheduling following service assignment and seniority upon 

graduarion and commissioning. \Xfc use a letter grading system with these values, called 

quality point equivalents, or QPE: 

A 

B 

C 

D 

F 

4.0 (Excellent) 

3.0 (Good) 

2.0 (Satisfacrory) 

1.0 (Marginally passing) 

0.0 (Failing) 

Grades are averaged using a weighted semester hour system called the qualiry point rating or QPR. 

Your QPR is figured by multiplying the QPE received in each course by the semesrer hours of 

credit for the course. Thar rotal is divided by the total number of hours completed in the semester. 

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

Midshipmen musr mamtain a cumulative QPR of 2.0 or above or d1ey risk academic probation 

or dismissal. As required by law, the Academic Board reviews the records of academically 

deficient midshipmen. Midshipmen subjecr to academic discharge are those who rail two or 

more courses; have a semester QPR below 1.5; fail to remove academic probation; are rwo or 

more courses behind in d1e matrix of the assigned major: do not fulfill a requirement previously 

assigned by the academic board; or do nor complere all graduation requirements by the end of 

rhe first-class year. 

Gmdes in military performance, conduct, physical education and summer professional tratnmg 

are nor included in the QPR, but they are figured into class standing. Satisfacrory performance 

in professional areas is required. 

Recognition of Excellence 

Three honor categories recognize midshipmen with ourscanding academic and 

professional records: 

Superintendent '.r list-midshipmen wich semescer QPR of ar least 3.4 and no grade 

of 0, F, I; grades or A in military performance, A in conduct and A or B in physical education.

Graduation Requirements 

To be eligible to graduate, you must: 

complclc at least 140 academic credit hours, including core requirements 

in engineering, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences; 

• complete the courses required in your chosen major;

• achieve a final cumulative quality poinr racing (CQPR) of at lease 2.0, a

C average; 

• meet required standards 111 professional scudies and at-sea crammg;

• meet required standards of military performance, conduct, honor and

physical education; and 

• accept a commission in the Navy or Marine Corps, unless one is not

offered due co physical disqua.lificacion. 

Awards 

Oumanding midshipmen are recognized publicly during Commissioning Week. A 

number of organizations and individuals sponsor more than 200 prizes and awards 

honoring midshipmen for excellence in academics, professional studies. leadership, 

athletics, sailing, debate and public speaking. 
Advanced Education 

Postgra<luarc cducarion is encouraged for all naval officers and is practically a requirement 

in today's N.wy and Marine Corps, which operate very sophisticated systems in a chang111g. complex world. Nearly all graduates go co advanced professional training en route co 

d1e1r fim dury assignments. New Marine Corps officers go co The Basic School ar 

Quamico. Va. Navy ensigns go co surface warfare officer school. nuclear power school, 

night training or ocher schools, depending on their chosen specialty and che nature of 

their fim assignment. Professional training continues throughout your career. 

fhcrc also arc several ways for Naval Academy graduates co earn advanced academic 

degrees besides the Voluntary Graduate Education Program (VGEP) discussed on page 

61. Most officers arc auromacically considered for graduate school as they complete cheir

rim Jury assignment. If selected, d,ey can enter master's degree progran1s at the Naval 

Poscgraduarc School 111 Monterey, Calif., or at an approved civilian universicy. Midshipmen 

with outstanding acadcm1c records can compete for a number of schobrships for posrgraduate school right afrer graduation from rhe Naval Academy or after an initial operational

assignment. There', also a program for up co 15 graduates a year who want to combine 

careers in medicine and rhe Navy. To prepare for chis program, midshipmen usually major

111 c.:hcnmrry and then emcr civilian or armed forces medical schools soon afrer graduation

and commissioning.

The following graduate c.:ducation programs are cum:ndy available:

Aerospace Engineering Major 

I he aerospace: eng111eenng depanment offers one of the most exciting and challenging academic prograrm at 

the Naval Academy. The program is strucrured co produce naval officers who will serve 111 the fordrom ot the 

inception, development and employmem of Navy air and space assets. The curriculum provides a background 

in <:ngint.-cring fundamentals through courses in chemi�try, physics, mathematics, engineering mechamcs, 

thermodynamics and decmcil engineering. With these subjeets as a base, srudems undenake aerospace 

engineering topics 111duding aerodynamics, propulsion and aerospace scrucrures. The major is accredited by 

rhc Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. 

In the area of aeronaurics. students ex-rend their srudy of aerodynamics, flight srrucrures and flight mechanics. 

The :mronauucs track allows m1dcnts co srudy asrrodrnamics, satellite arurude dynan,ics and comrol. and the 

space environment. Both tracks conclude with a design course. which allows midshipmen to apply their 

engineering knowledge co the design of an aero or space flight vehicle. Both cracks also involve thorough 

laboratory experimentation. The Naval Academy's aerospace laboratory racilicies are some of che most 

adv.meed and exccnsi\'e in the country. These facilities include scruaures. propulsion and rotor labs; \'ariable 

stability aircraft simulator; spacecrarr tracking and expenmenr:mon faciliries; and various wind runnels wirh 

flow velocities ranging from subsonic co supersonic. 

\X'hile graduates of all majors arc prepared for careers in naval aviation, the aerospace rngineering major 1s 

intend�>ci for chose who are not only fasc111ared by flight but wanr co understand the rcchnology of making air 

and space flight work. 

Graduates from the aerospace engineering major are also fully prepared co undenake postgraduate educarion 

progranis in ,;ng1nccring dimplincs either at the Naval Postgraduate School or any ocher academic institution. 

Naval officers with advanced d<'grecs in rhe aerospace areas may be assigned to billets 11wolv111g the research, 

development, test and evaluation of Navy aircraft or spacecraft projects. Locations for these challenging 

rechnicil billers include che Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Research L1boracory, Tesr Pilor School. the 

Navy's Space Command, rhe Unified Space Command, the Navy Space Support Acciviry and perhaps as a 

naval �tronaut with the National Aeronautics and Space A<lminiscracion.

Department of MechanicaJ Engineering 

Mechanical Engineering Major 

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

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, offers one of rhe most diversified engineering programs a\'ailable at the Naval Academy. In addition ro an education in mechanical engineering, the program 

prepares ll� graduates ro assume responsibilities in any of d1e warfare specialties of the U.S. Navy and U.S. 

Marine Corps. Immediate graduates will be in positions of responsibiliry involving the operation and 

maintenance of high technology weapons systems. As officers progress through their careers, many will 

assume positions of responsibiliry a, managers of weapons systems development and procurement. This 

dtcrares a program that emphasizes a broad spectrum of undergraduate srudies. The program thus includes 

required courses in solid and fluid med1an1cs, dynamics, thermodynamics and energy systems, materials 

engineering and a significant emphasis on electrical engineering and conuol systems fundamentals. This 

broad background in che fundamenrals of mechanical engineering prepares midshipmen ro select deceive 

courses in any of the five tracks within the mechanical engineering program. These tracks are energy 

rysrems, engineering mechanics, marine propulsion, materials engineering and nuclear engineering. A 

midshipmen can choose to specialize 111 a particular area by selecring all of cheir electives in one track, or a 

more general approach can be taken by sdecting elernves across several tracks. 

The program rakes seriously the need co develop graduates who have a sound understanding of the design 

process and its importance in rhe success of engineering acriviry. Design education in the program is 

fou1sed through a sequence of five courses, beginning in the firsr semester of the sophomore year (E,'vl215, 

EM375. EM371. EM477, EM472), which make up the design backbone. Each semester other courses that 

are more often identified wirh engineenng science support rhe backbone through problems and small 

projects that build on concepts and cools developed in the design backbone. This approach weaves the 

subjects of design and design tools into the program as an integrated engineering activiry. A Navy or Marine 

Corps officer with a bachelor·s degree in mechanical engineering is well prepared for a wide variety of 

career assignmenrs bod, ashore and anoat. Operational sea billecs in surface ships, submarines, and aircraft 

squadrons provide many opporrunicies for a mechanical engineer to develop practical experience in a 

warfare or engineering specialry area while contributing to fleer engineering and material readiness. The 

operational cnvironmem enables a junior officer ro rapidly develop sound leadership and managerial abilicies 

while refining mechanical engineering capabilities acquired at the Naval Academy. Ashore. the mechanical 

engineer has a wide range of opportunities in sub-specialry billers with naval applications. These include 

such :treas as ship and aircraft <l1:sign, propulsion systems, environmental systems, advanced engineering 

education, major project managemenr and weapons systems acquisition. There is an abundant and continuing need for mechanical engineers rhroughout today's naval service.

Systems Engineering Major 

(• y' 

i\ lany mo<lern products, from mICrowan: ovens, stereos and automobiles to spacecraft, missiles and robots, 

an, a comple.x system consisting of components from many eng111cering discipline,. 'll1e systems engineer 

seeks LO combine and control che diverse component, 111 order to meet specific de,ign specifiCJcions. 

fhe Naval Academy's systems engineering program, rared number one in the country for more than ten 

years, is accredited b, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABEn. le is an interdisciplinary major encompassing dcctronics, mechanics, automatic control, computers and simulation. An 

overall undemanding of the analysis and design of complete engineenng systems, including che interdisciplirntf)' ,nrcrfuces between systems, is the primary goal of the major. Systems engineering is particularly 

suited to those persons inceresred in the higher level interactions of engineering components rather than 

the detailed design of specific components. A bachelor of science in systems engineering is awarded. 

Since most modern systems comain automacic conrrol funcrions using digital comrol techniques. the core 

of the systems eng111eering major is chc srndy of feedback control theory, with digital control as a major 

clement. Surrounding chis core is d1e interdisciplinary pare of d1e major, with ad,·anced courses in digital 

technology and microprocessors, compucer interfacing and engineering, analog and digical communiCJnons, analog and digiral simulation and robotics. A� a part of the i1m:rdisc1plinary concept, pomom of the 

systems l'ngineering major may be fulfilled wirh advanced courses from all ocher engineering disciplines as 

well as mad1emacics, physics ,rnd computer science. 

A systems engineer is particularly well prepared co operate and maintain the mosc sophisticated systems 

found 111 roday's Navy. Knowledge gained in the major is directly appliCJble ro missile, gun, sensor, 

guidance and propulsion systems. The systems engineering major also prm ides an excellent foundation 

for postgraduate educauon 111 any engineering discipline.

and Jrca studies of the United Stares, Europe, che former Soviet Union, Latin America and Asia. The

overseas and the possibility of graduate work in intelligence or national security affairs expand educacional oppornmiries.

Oceanography Major 

Tht' oceanographr major gives fururc naval officers practical and theoretical knowledge of the 

ocean environmenr and builds a sound academic foundation for fucure graduate study in any 

technical discipline. An interdisciplinary science major, oceanograph)' involves the study of 

meteorology, geophysics, physics, chemistry, biology and geology as rhey relate to the ocean 

environment. Basic courses in these areas are prerequisites for more advanced oceanography 

and meteorology courses. Students cake courses in sound propagation in the ocean, che srudy 

of waves and tides, and the use of satellites in oceanography. A course in ad,·anced biological 

oceanography offers a glimpse of the undersea world and its marine creatures; synoptic meteorology courses involve hands-on weather forecasting experience using the latest cools available. to.lore 

than 25 percent of the required course load is within the oceanography specialty. Other courses 

include advanced mathematics, necessary to describe the complex behavior of fluid environments. 

A bachelor of science degree is awarded. An honors program with a designared honors degrees 

available for selecrcd scudcnts. 

The Naval Academy boasts the most extensive undergraduate oceanographic facilities in rhe 

country. Located on a pier adjacent to the mouth of the Severn River, the Hendrix Oceanography 

Laboratory is a mulri-function enclosure feacuring a wet laboratory where students study the 

world's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay. t-. lidshipmen have the opportuniry co participate in a 

thret:-week oceanography cruise during che summer training period. The academy's oceanographic 

research vessel enables midshipmen to collecc samples and oceanographic data afloac and deliver 

them ro the dcparrment's shore labs. Another laborarory complex in Rickover Hall houses the:: 

geological, biological, chemical, general oceanographic and remote sensmg laboracories. A 

separate meteorological laborarory has an on-line receiver to display charrs from che National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminisrration and the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, direct access to the World Mcteorological Organization's dara network, a color weather 

radar display, and a high resolution satellite receiver. all of which can be accessed via computer 

workstations. Students use all of these facilities 111 required courses as well as in their elecri,·es.

The Center for the Study of Professional Military Ethics 

Authorized by th, Secretary of the Navy in 1998, che Cc.:mer has an ambitious 

mis;ion-to promote and enhance the ethical development of current and future 

military leaders through education, research, and renection. This mission charges the 

Center not only co work with and on behalf of the midshipmen, faculty, and scaJf of the 

Naval Academy, but also co r.:ach out to the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Department of 

Defonse, and beyond. The strong outreach dimension of its mission makes the Center 

unique among it� service academy counterparts, and its focus on military affairs, national 

defense, and international security makes it unique among ethics centers in academia. 

The vision for rhe Cenrer is elm it will be an ethics resource for the Naval Academy, the 

Navy and Marine Corps and th<:: nation. 

!"he: Center has three major program goals: 

I.) To enrich the intellectual life of the Naval Academy in the field of ethics. 

2.) 'fo enhance rhe reaching of erhics in rhe milirary education and training systems, 

and beyond. 

3.) To conduce executive and ocher outreach programs in ethics. 

Its Naval Ac.ademy programs include: 

• a compctinon and prize for the outstanding ethics essays wrirren in the Naval

Academy's core erh1cs course;

• Ethia far 1he Jrmior Officer, a collection of case studies on ethical challenges facing

Navy and Marine Corps junior officers, produced in conjunction with the Naval

Academy Class of 1964 and presenred ro every member of the graduating class;

• the William C. Stun Ethics Lecture series, in whicl1 disringuished speakers address

1mporcanr issues in ethics;

• "!:.chics at the Mo,,es," which bring,; together small groups of Third and Fourth Class

midshipmen for an 111fonnal L-vcning of pizza, sodas, a movie, and a discussion of the ethical 

issues in the film;

• ethics dinners for upper-class midshipmen in which guest speakers caJk about ech1cal

challenges faced by junior officers in the real world;

• USNA Faculty Fellow Program, 111 which Naval Academy professors conduce

research sponsored br tl1e Cenrer :111d published as Cemer occasional papers, case

studies, or monographs:

• a Teaching Erhics Resources Room and consulring serv

ices on reaching ethics

available ro USNA faculty;

• an Ethics Bowl ceam, in which midshipmen compete with srudenrs from orher

unaversirb aL an annual erhics conference.

• foculry/sca!T ethics rotmdtables, in which a guest scholar or practitioner presents

work in progress for informal buc focused discussion by faculty and scaff;

• annual conferences on key topics 111 ethics;

• chairing an ethics assessmenr process at USNA, and

• a collection of case studies written by midshipmen about ethical chaJknges in life in 

Bancroft Hall;

The Center's founders, sponsors, and leadership clearly intend for ir ro be "a beacon" for 

ethics, pointing the way for midshipmen, officers, enlisced personnel, civil servants, and 

ochers outside rhe Department of Defense, and shedding thoughtful and produccive 

light on critical cchical ch,dlenges confroncing the 111ilica1y, public service, the broader 

society, and ultimately the enrirc nation.

qualifying heighc ror all candi<lares is 78 inches. Waivers may be granted by the Admissions Board 

co a limited number or exceptional candidates whose he1ghc exceeds chis scandard. 

The minimum qualifying weight (by height) standards are listed in che table. Because or subscanrial 

variation in candidates· body composition, we apply an escimaced body far percentage when a

instructions so you may a.sk your gym teacher (perhaps when you cake: your Physical Apticude 

Examination). your Blue and Gold Officer, a coach, or your school nurse to provide the information.

Other disqualifying conditions 

Some other disqualifying conditions include: 

• unrepaired abdominal wall hernia;

• r1.moval of the spleen for most reasons except trauma;

• anemia;

• abnormal bleeding states;

• diabetes mcllicus;

• sickle cell disease {sickle cell trait and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase de11ciency are

nor disqualifying);

• an} a1.tivc communicable infection;

• generalized reaction t0 stinging insect venom:

• family lmtory of malignant hyperrhmnia;

• allergy w common foods requiring special dietary considerations;

• J hisror}' of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, or alcohol dependence;

• ,tnd exposure ro the ,irus associated with AJDS {Acquired Immune Dt:11ciency Syndrome).

A blood test for the presence of AIDS virus (HIV) antibodies, an alcohol bread1 cesc, and a urine rest 

for drugs and pregnancy are performed on Induction Day at the Naval Academy; a con11rmed 

posmve result 111 any of chese will lead LO disqualificacion without possibility of a waiver. 

Denral standards 

Except for minor or questionable areas, you should have all required demal treatment completed 

before your medical examination. Missing teeth causing reduced masricacory {chewing) or incisal 

(bning) efficiency muse be replaced by well-designed bridges, parcial dentures, or implants in good 

condmon. If you are undergoing active orthodontic rrearmenc that will not be completed prior m 

your entry into rhe Naval Academy, you may request a waiver. Do nor have braces removed before 

compler1on of treatment unless adnsed by the Naval Academy. Ocher disqualifying dental 

con<l1t1ons 111clude: 

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

• markc.:d malocclus1on rhat requires early or prolonged rreatmenr, involves tissue impingement

on c1d1t:r the facial or lingual/palatal gingiva, or in some ocher way jeopardi1.es dental he-alch;

• unsatisfactory resrorarions, bridges, dentures, or implant.�;

• sr:vere or extensive apical or periodontal infection;

• perforations from che oral cavity inw rhe n,1Sal cavity or maxillary sinus; and

• tumors or cysts of the oral cissu� mat can be expected to require creacmem in the foreseeable future.

Concluding comments 

As you will realize from the foregoing summary, the physical examination for admission co che Naval 

Academy is comprd1ens1ve, and the medical/dencaJ s1andards are specific and scrin. This is 

necessary hccause our goal is for every midshipman w be able co amicipatc unrestricted 

opponunnie\ for commissioned service after graduation. For most candidates, the physical 

cxan11nauon process will require no more than a s111gle visit ro the office of a physician, dcntm, and 

an opmmunM. I-or others, quescions will arise chat may necessitate a variety of add1cional 

evalu,11mns. We know rhis can bccomc time-consuming, but we hope you will underscand the 

reason for our cc>ncern. Quesrionablc issues resolve favorably for the majority of candidates, and 

waiver of tht· scan<lard(s) 1s often possible when documenracion of a disqualifying condition in an 

indi,·idual 1.andidate supporcs che expect.1tion of unrcmncted service. Siaff members at DOOM ERB 

and in rhe Admissions Office will assist 111 every way possible.

The Honor Treatise 

A

s a Brigade, we cherish the diverse backgrounds and talents of every midshipman yet recognize the 

common thread chat unites us: the trust and confidence of the American people. They have appoimed us 

to defend our country by developing our minds, our bodies, and mosr especially, our moral character. 

Ir is our responsibility to develop a selfless sense of duty chac demands excellence both of ourselves and of 

chose wirh whom we serve. We must honor our loyalcies withouc compromising our ulcimace obligation co the 

cruch. Our leadership must ser a standard char reflects loyalty to our goals and che courage to stand accountable for all 

our actions, both chose chat lead to success and ro chose chat end in failure. We will never sercle for achieving merely 

what is expected of us but will srrive for a standard of excellence char reflects rhe declicacion and courage of those who 

have gone before us. When we arrain our goal, we will raise our expectarions; when we Fall short, we will rise up and 

try again. ln essence, we espouse leadership by example, a leadership chat will inspire others co follow wherever we 

may lead. 

Coundess challenges and crials lie before us. We believe chat chose with che strongest moral foundation will 

be the leaders who besc reflect che legacy of che Naval Academy. This is our call as midshipmen: it is a mission we 

proudly accept.
