UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY 

ANNAPOLIS 



Ot."ar Puture Midshipmen: 

At the United States Naval Academy, our mission is to prepare the next gcncranon of 

leaders for our naval scr\'lce and rhe future securicy of our nation Since 1845 more chan 

77.000 young men and women have successfully completed fours years of moral, menral and 

physical development to cake their place as honorable leaders in che Na'') and Manne Corps. 

·1 hese leaders have included: 73 Medal of Honor recipients, one President of rhe United 

States, several members of Congress and U.S. ambassadors, 46 Rhodes Scholars, and rwo 

Nobel Prize w111ners. 

Their Journeys began at the U111ced Stares Naval Academy in Annapolis. And every 

summer, the future begins again wirh new journeys for 1,200 young people from all 50 scaces. 

Our midshipmen complete a demanding four-year program which educates them not only 

1n rhe classroom, bur develops rhem outside of rhe classroom as well -- aboard sailboats, Yard 

Patrol craft, on che athleuc fields and in rhe Fleet. Ar rhe academy, midshipmen will culrivare 

leadership skills which will enable chem ro excel as honorable leaders when they graduate and 

begin rhe1r careers as Naq and Marine Corps officers. 

We emphasize rhe importance of personal 111tegriry and ser\'ICe 111 all aspects of our 

program. The Naval Academy offers a unique opporrunicy where young men and women 

from a d1versirr of backgrounds come cogerher co learn and embark on a life11me pursuit 

of excellence. M1dsh1pmen are held ro rhe highest standards of honor, conduce and service 

while chey learn from both military and civilian faculty who represem the best in their 

respective specialties. Midshipmen become young leaders who are ready to serve our nation as 

N:wy or Manne Corps officers -- and evenrually as leaders in government, industry and our 

communities. Leadership and Honor are what distinguish the U.S. Naval Academy and its 

graduates. 

Ar the Naval Academy, chc American people invest in rhe fucure of our nation. This 

is where we develop che leaders of the future and nurture core values of honor, courage, 

and commicmenc. Our 111scitunon is a nationally recognized treasure where calenred young 

Americans embark on a lifetime of service. le is my sincere desire char rh1s cacalog will be a 

starring po111t for prospective applicancs, their parencs, their mentors and educators in learning 

about the tremendous opporcunines chat are the United Scates Naval Academy. 

Sincerely, 

Michael 11. Miller 

Vice Admiral, U. S. Navy

Introduction 

United States Naval Academy 

As the undergraduate college of our councry's naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women 

co become professional officers of compecence, character, and compassion in che U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. 

Naval Academy srndencs are midshipmen on acrive duty in che U.S. Navy. They accend rhe academy for four years, 

graduating with bachelor of science degrees and commissions as ensigns in rhe Navy or second lieutenants in the 

Marine Corps. 

Naval Academy graduates serve ac lease five years in che Navy or Marine Corps. 

Around the Yard 

The scenic Naval Academy campus, known as rhe Yard, is located in historic Annapolis, Md., where the Severn River 

Aows in co che Chesapeake Bay. With 1rs combination of early 20rh-cenrnry and modern buildings, the Naval Academy 

is a blend of tradition and scare-of-the-an technology char exemplifies roday's Na\'}' and /\ larine Corps. Throughout 

the Yard. tree-shaded monumcncs commemorate che bravery and heroism chac arc an inherent pare of che academy's 

hericage. Buildings and walkways are named for Naval Academy graduates who have concribuced co naval hiscory and 

cheir nation. 

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

" I have not yet begun co fight," have inspired generations of naval officers. His crypc is locaced beneath the Academ)' 

chapel. A National Historic Sice, the Naval Academy hosts more than one million tourists every year from all over 

the United Scates and around the world. They come co enjoy the nawral beauty of the Yard, to recall some of this 

country's naval history and co marvel at rhe traditions carried on in midshipmen parades and military formations. 

Touriscs and midshipmen also appreciate downtown Annapolis, which lies just outside che gates of che Academy. Wich 

its colonial charm and busy waterfront, Maryland's state capital provides a pleasanc, diverse setting for one of America's 

premier colleges, the Uniced States Naval Academy. 

History 

founded in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, the Academy started as che Naval School on I 0 acres 

of old Forr Severn in Annapolis. Since chen, che development of che Naval Academy has reAected the history of the 

United Scates. As our country has changed culturally and technologically, so has rhe Naval Academy. In only a few 

decades, che Na\'}' has moved from a Aeet of sail and sceam-powered ships co a high-tech Aeec with nuclear-powered 

wbmarines and surface ships and supersonic aircraft. 111e Academy has changed, coo, giving midshipmen che up-codate academic and professional training chey need co be effeccive naval officers in rheir assignments after graduation. 

In 1850 che Naval School became che United Scares Naval Academy. A new curriculum went into effect requiring 

midshipmen to stu<ly ar che Academy for four years and to train aboard ships each summer. Thar format is che basis of 

a far more advanced and sophisticated curriculum at the Naval Academy tod:iy. As the U.S. Navy grew over the years, 

rhc Academy expanded. The campus of I 0 acres incre:ised co 338. lhe original student body of 55 midshipmen grew 

co a brigade of 1,000 midshipmen. Mo<lern granite buildings replaced the old wooden scrucmres of Fore Severn and 

rhc: original Naval School. 

9 
10 

Congress authorized rhe Naval Academy co begin awarding bachelor of science degrees in 

1933. The Academy larer replaced a fixed curriculum raken by all midshipmen wirh rhe 

presenr core curriculum plus 22 major fields of srudy, a wide ,·ariery of clecrive courses and 

advanced srudy and research opportunities. 

Mission 

The Naval Academy has a unique clariry of purpose, expressed in our mission: 

"To develop midshipmen morally, menrally and physically and ro imbue chem wich che 

highest ideals of dury, honor and loyalry in order ro graduate leaders who are dedicared ro a 

career of naval service and have porenrial for furure development in mind and character ro 

assume rhe highest responsibiliries of command, citizenship and government." Our mission 

forms the basis for everything we do at rhe Academy. It also encourages a sense of spirir and 

pride found ar few orher schools. 

Program 

Developing midshipmen morally. menrally and physically conrribures ro producing 

oursranding naval officers of competence, character, and compassion. 

!vfoml Development 

Moral developmenr is a fundamental elemem of all aspects of the Naval Academy 

experience. As future officers in che Navy or ~larine Corps, midshipmen will soon be 

responsible for che priceless lives of young Sailors and Marines and mulri-million dollar 

equipment. From Plebe Summer rhrough graduation, rhe Nava.I Academy's Officer 

Developmenr program is a four-year inregrared concinuum that focuses on rhe arcributes 

of inregriry, honor, and murual respect. 1his program helps midshipmen develop a clearer 

sense of rheir own moral beliefs and che ability ro aniculate them. Honor is emphasized 

through che Honor Concepr of rhc Brigade of Midshipmen-a system originally formulared 

in 1951 which sr:ites, "Midshipmen arc persons ofinregriry: they stand for char which is 

righr." These Naval Academy "words co live by" are based on respect for human digniry. 

respec.r for honesty and respecr for che properC)' of ochers. A Brigade Honor Comrrnrree,

Abo ut o ur Midshipme n 

le cakes a special kind of young man or woman to handle the Naval Academy's demanding program, bur rhac doesn't mean 

all midshipmen are alike. Midshipmen come from all 50 srares, U.S. rerritories and several foreign countries. They have 

roocs in cities, suburbs, farms and ranches, small mwns and military bases. They have talents and hobbies of every kind and 

personalities rhat fir every description, and rhey represenr rhe diverse ethnic and cultural heritages chat, together, make the 

Un ired Sr:ucs a great nation. 1l1e yow1g men and women who d1oosc the Naval Academy are looking for more than a oollege degree. They 

like the idea of being challenged mencally, physically and morally. They are people who don't want ro sercle for che ordinary, che 

rourine, or the easy. Midshipmen also wane m serve rheir country in a meaningful way-in a profession rhar helps preserve 

our narion's freedoms. Finally, midshipmen are young people who look co the fucure. They look forward to rhe challenging 

Naval Academy program, as well as che opporrunirics open co chem in the Navy and Marine Corps after graduarion.

Our Commitment 

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

counrry is our commicmenr ro rhe roral development of our srudenrs. Some ocher colleges 

offer more majors in academics. Some pur more emphasis on intercollegiate athletics. 

Bur nowhere else will you find a berrer opporruniry ro grow inrellecrually, personally and 

physically than at c:he Naval Academy. If you are chosen to enrer rhe Naval Academy, we 

believe you can complete this rough, four-year program. In fact, we are commirred ro c:he 

principle of helping every midshipman succeed. We back up rhar commitment wic:h: 

• Small class size. Most classes have no more than 22 students. When you aie an 

upperclassman, some courses in your major may have only five to I 0 oc:her srudenrs. 

• Low student-to-faculty ratio. Facu.lry members get to know you personally in and 

our of che classroom. They also are available co help wic:h exrra instruction or special 

projecrs. Ir's nor unusual ro find professors and midshipmen burning rhe late-nighc oil 

together in an Academy research lab or in a classroom. 

• Protected study time. Evening srudy period is reserved from 8-11 p.m. Sunday rhrough 

Friday to help all midshipmen keep up wirh rheir courses. Additionally, Nimirz Library, 

compurer labs and ocher faciliries are open for midshipmen use all day and evening, 

seven days a week. 

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

is available as well as an academic adviser early in plebe year. A permanent faculcy adviser 

is assigned when you selecc your major. 

• Leadership and counseling. Your company officer, senior enlisred advisor, and upperdass 

midshipmen in leadership positions also guide, moniror and evaluate your progress in 

academics, milirary performance and conduce. They also are ready to help iif you need 

assistance as are che Academy's staff of chaplains and professional counselors. 

• A sponsor program. Hundreds of fumilies in the Annapolis area sponsor newly-airived 

midshipmen, offering a home away from home and a place ro relax off campus. 

Every midshipman has rhe opporruniry robe sponsored by a local family. These 

co1uacrs ofren grow inro deep friendships rhac last a liferime. 

Your Commitment 

Becoming a midshipman ar che Naval Academy is a big step. Jr's nor like scarring your 

freshman year at a civilian college. You make a commirmenr to somec:hing larger c:han 

yourself. You rake an oac:h of office, promising to be loyal ro your coumry and to defend ic 

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

ro work harder chan you've ever worked before and ro push yourself well beyond your old 

limics. This is how we prepare you for rhe challenging responsibilities of service as a naval 

officer and the opporruniries of a lifetime in rhe Navy and Marine Corps. 

--..J. 


Competition to become a midshipman is keen, bur if you are of excellent moral 

character. have prepared yourself for a challenging, multidimensional four-year 

program and wanr the privilege ro serve as a leader of Sailors and Marines who 

volunteered to serve their coumry, you should apply for admission. 

pplying ro enter chc Naval Academy is different than most other college admissions 

processes. In addition to re\'iewing your academic record, our Admissions Board 

'3luares your physical ficness. leadership potential and motivation robe a midshipman 

nd an officer in che Navy or Marine Corps. You muse be recommended by teachers. 

interviewed by an academy rcprcsencarivc and nominated by ar lease one official source. 

e'll guide you through che nomination process lacer in chis chapter. 

e want to ensure that the best-qualified candidates from around the United Scates 

nd us territories are selected for admission and that young men and women have the 

rive am.I motivation to complett: the four-year program and excel as Navy and Marine 

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

men and women of all backgrounds are strongly encouraged co apply. The Class of 

014 includes j5 percent minority midshipmen who represent rhe unique racial and

"'The admissions process at the Naval Academy is unique in that we 

arc not just selecting men ;111d women for the purpose of attending a 

college, rather we are selecting these young Americans to prepare them for a calling to service and a 

verv special way of life. 

Members of the Admissions Board spend coundess hours reYiewing candidate records. This is 

a tough job because of che bre:idth and diversity of our candidates' backgrounds. They are 

aspiring achit·vers; highly mot iv-.ited and well-rounded students who excel not only academically. 

but also in athletics, leadership and service The majority will enter directly from high school, but 

nuny others will come from college or preparatory school programs or from service as 

enlisted Sailors and ~ farines. 

I personally believe that all of the candidates we accept can successfully complete che program 

if tht')' ma111ta111 cheir desire and motivation. In fucr, over the last ten years, the Naval Academr has 

averaged a graduation rate in excess of 80 pem:nt. I chink this is auributable to che 

combination of our raking great care, fim ro match che right candidares ro our program, 

;rnd then 10 help them sucn·ed while they are here. 

If you have a strong will to achieve, desire a real challenge, and wanr ro be a leader serving your

one of rhe greatest advemures you could possibly imagine!"

Life at the 

Naval Academy 

Ir would be impossible ro predicc whac four years ar the Naval Academy would be like for 

you personally, bur we can describe our philosophy, our curriculum and the daily life you 

can expecr. Only afrer you've experienced the exhausring rigors of Plebe Summer, and afrer 

you have faced the responsibiliry of leading other midshipmen and afrer you have thrown 

your hac inro che air at graduation will you really know whar the Naval Academy experience is 

all about. /I. lake no mistake: the four years ar Annapolis are very challenging, rightly 

structured. and designed ro push you well beyond what you think are your limm. With111 rhis 

framework however, rhere are many ways you can pursue your individual areas of 111teresr. 

In chis section, we will give you a general description oflife at the Naval Academy. Lacer 

chapters give you che decails of the academic, athletic and professional training programs. 

D efi nitio ns 

Let's sran with a few basics. On your first day ar the Academy, you begin learning a whole 

new vocabulary of naval terms. Before long, the Aoor is 'the deck,' the wall is 'the bulkhead' 

and the restroom is 'the head.' Likewise, midshipmen seniority is srared in a way dif'ferenc 

from traditional college terms. 

All Naval Academy srudenrs, men and women, are called midshipmen, which is a rank 

berween chief warrant officer and ensign in the Navy. A midshipman firsr class is a senior 

or "fimie." The srudenr body 1s the Brigade of Midshipmen, or simply 'rhe Brigade,' and 

rhe naval service ofren is called 'rhe Fleer.' The brigade is divided inco six banal ions. Five 

companies make up each battalion, making a rocal of30 companies. The midshipmen 

command strucrure 1s headed by a firsr class midshipman, chosen for oursranding leadership 

performance co be brigade commander. He or she is responsible for much of che brigade's 

day-ro·day accivicies as well as che professional training of midshipmen. Overseeing all 

brigade activities is the Commandanc of Midshipmen, an active-dury Navy or Marine Corps 

senior officer. Working for che Commandanc, experienced Navy and Marine Corps officers 

and senior enlisted lead the companies and battalions. 

Livi n g w ith H o n o r 

The Honor Concept of the Brigade of Midshipmen was established by midshipmen co urge 

all hands io carry our d1t:1r dunes with che highest sense of personal incegnry and honor. It 

reprc:sencs the n11nimum scand:ird that midshipmen are expected ro follow. I lonor, 1ntegriry, 

and loyal!}· co the service, its cuscoms, and irs traditions, are fundame111al characrensrics 

essc111ial to a rnccessful naval officer. Lying, cheating, and stealing are 111colerable 111 the

brigade as in rhe Fleer, and may be cause for separation from rhe Naval Academy. The 

emphasis is on "doing whar is righr" rather than simply not breaking rhe rules. 

To underscore rheir commirmenc co living a life of honor, midshipmen developed and 

implernenrcd a living documenr known as rhe Honor 1 rt-arise of the Brigade of Midshipmen. 

The Trearise is a posirive and uplifting statement direccly from rhe midshipmen expressing 

who they are and what rhey are srriving to achieve. fr sers forth c.he common goals and ideals 

which midshipmen envision for themselves at c.he Naval Academy as well as in the Fleer. 

111e I lonor Concept and Honor Treatise are the brigade's way of preparing midshipmen 

for a life of honorable service to their counrry. After all. rhc fururc of the Navy, Marine 

Corps, and Naval Academy relies on its men and women, and their dedicarion to srrivc 

ro do that which is righr. 

Life in the Brigade 

No matcer what your background, chances are the living arrangcmenrs at c.he Academy are 

d1fferenr from anything you have experienced. The day begins with reveille and ends wirh 

"lighrs our." You srnnd 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 and 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 Bancroft Hall, a huge dormitory complex. You are assigned to a room 

wirh one or more midshipmen and live in dose proximity ro abour 150 orher midshipmen in 

your company. Men and women midshipmen from all four classes make up each company. 

Each company has irs own area called rhe "wardroom" for meetings and recreation. 

Midshipmen rooms arc wired for Inrernet access, closed circuit TV and telephones.

Plebe Summer 

All midshipmen begin rhe four-year program wirh Plebe Summer, a penod designed co rurn 

civilians inro midshipmen. Plebe Summer is no gen de easing inro rhe milirary routine. Soon 

afcer enrering rhe gare on fnduccion Day, you are pur inro uniform and taughr how ro salure 

by rhe first class midshipmen who lead rhe plebe indoctrination program. For the nexr seven 

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

sunset, wondering how you will make it rhrough the next day. Forger television, leisure rime 

or movies. You will have barely enough hours in the day co finish your assigned plebe casks! 

The frantic, exhausting pace of Plebe Summer leads you somewhere. Ir gets you ready for 

your responsibiliries when the brigade recurns from summer training and rhe academic year 

begins. The summer also builds the foundation for rhe tangible and 111cangible qualiries rhar 

make an oucsranding naval officer. You learn self-discipline. You learn ro organize your time 

and decide whjch things are mosr imporram. You reach rop physical condirion. You develop 

your ability co chink clearly under stress and ro reacr quickly when rhe unexpected comes 

your way. Any officer who has stood rhe warch on the bridge of a ship in a srorm or landed 

a jer on the deck of an aircrafr carrier ar nighr can tell you rhe importance of rhese qualiries 

Plebe Summer inrroduces you co rhe basic how-ro's of the Navy as well. Aboard Naval 

Academy sailboats, you learn co respect the power of wind and currem. You learn rhe 

basics of seamanship, navigarion and boar handling. On the weapons range, you learn how 

co fire small arms safely and accurarely. You also learn why we have high sra.ndards of honor, 

character and conduct. And, you begin ro develop your own ideas about leadership and rhe 

techniques rhar will make you an effective leader. 

Academic Year 

When rhe upperclassmen rerurn co the academy in late Augusr ro begin rhe academic year,

Leadership Responsibility 

As you progress rhrough the years at the academy, leadership respomibilines grow. Each 

year, you and your classmares assume more importam roles in run111ng your company, your 

banalion and the bngade. By the ttme you are a firsc class midshipman, you are making daily 

decisions affcccing rhe morale and performance of orher midshipmen. You are reaching chem 

rhe fundamemals of the naval profession and helping them through diflicuhies. You are 

leading through persona.I example, abiliry, aurhoriry and rechniques you learned in the 

classroom and through three years experience. Your leadership responsibilities also increase 

in summer professional rraining, culminating as a iunior officer during your first class 

summer cruise. 

You build your leadership skills in these and orher serrings, where you can learn from mistakes : ~-. 

and benefit from the guidance of seasoned officers and senior enlisted. By the time you take ~~~ 

your posinon as a naval officer responsible for leading Sailors and Marines, you have had 1 

practical leadership experience and in developing ream>vork ro accomplish goals and objecrives. 

Spiritual Opportunities 

The copper-green dome of the Chapel rowers over the ocher buildings in the Yard ar the Naval 

Academy and, in a sense, serves as a symbol of rhe academy ro the oucside world. This is more than 

a comcidence. Over the decades of our h.isrory, fighting Americans have learned by experience that 

rherc is a dimension m military leadership - both in and our of com bar - rhar is essemial m real 

effecriveness. This LS the spiritual fucmr, the imangible quality we cal.I moral courage. 

le 1s this aspecr of rhe academy's mission char the Religious Ministries Program scrives to fulfill: 

to fosrer spirirual fitness and promore rhe moral developmenr of the midshipmen wirhin the 

reners of an individual's personal faith or belief. The Chaplain Center serves rhe religious and 

spiritual needs of che brigade by minisrering to rhe midshipmen through pastoral care, spiritual 

and religwus menroring, ritual and sacramenral obligarions and by providing pastoral care for 

all, regardless of rheir faith backgrolllld. 

The academy embraces freedom of religion in all char we do. This means allowing our midshipmen 

m worship or nor as they desire while placing no requiremencs on midshipmen to embrace specific 

bcliefa or parciciparc in specific religious events. Ar the same rime we provide support for a wide 

variery of religious beliefS so d10se midshipmen who desire ro worship are free and able ro do so for 

their own personal moral development. 

While anendance ar religious services is volunrary, midshipmen are reminded that as officers of the 

naval serYJce, their personal bcliefS will ofren be rested, and char in rime of stress their subordinates 

will look ro chem for spirirual, as well as professional guidance. T he Naval Academy has long believed 

that furure officers owe ir ro themselves and ro those they will lead ro gain insighcs inro moral, 

ethical and spiritual dimensions of milirary leadership. Further, we wanr ro make sure our midshipmen undersrand the responsib1liaes chey will have as officers in ensuring religious supporr for their 

Sailors and Marines no marrcr the narure of their beliefS. Nor only do we want our midshipmen 

and young officers ro respect the beliefs and practices of those who follow a differcnr religion or hold 

bdiefS different From rheir own, we want them to undersrand and embrace their need as officers ro 

ensure their Sailors and Marines can artend services and receive religious support aboard ship or on 

the banlefidd. From the first day of Plebe Summer unril rhe day of commissioning four years lacer, 

I the academy's chaplains serve and minister ro the spiritual needs of rhe Brigade of Midshipmen. 

Chaplains are acrively involv~-d in a hosr of Brigade acrivicies, provide personal counseling, ranging 

from faid1-cemered issues through crises of life and <leach, to furure marriage plans.

available career field 111 the Navy or Marine Corps. 

The Naval Academy also offers each midshipman a selection of22 majors in disciplines as diverse as engineering, math, 

the physical mences, the humanities and the social sciences. Each of chese majors conrribuces co the devdopmenr of a 

strong educational foundation necessary for our graduates co excel in their immediate responsibilicies and in future studies. 

Some majors have been raced by independenr national authorities as an1ong the best of their discipline in the councry. 

Mose importantly, in the Naval Academy's academic program, we seek nor only to educate our midshipmen, buc co 

substantially contribute ro the development of cheir character. Through consiscencly high scandards of performance, 

a demanding curriculum and a srimulacing learning environmenr, we develop leaders characterized by self-discipline, 

iniriarive, determination and a commitment co life-long learning. The academic program complements the professional 

rraining, character dcvdopmenc and che physical education components of the Academy program co produce these critical 

leadership qualities. With irs comprehensive core curriculum, outstanding majors program, and emphasis on character 

developmem, I believe che Naval Academy is producing outstanding leaders for romorrow and the next millennium." 

Educational Philosophy 

Ir's hard to gee lose in the classroom at the Naval Academy. Our philosophy of educauon 

scresses atcenrion to individual studenrs by highly qualified faculty members who are 

scrongly commirced ro teaching. Classes are small, with an average size of about 18 scudenrs. 

Even che core courses required of all m1dsh1pmen are caughr in sections abouc chis size, so 

char midshipmen receive individualized atrencion from their instructors. In science and 

engineering courses, the same professor who lectures in rhe classroom supervises experimencs 

in the lab. This practice contrasts sharply wirh many universities, where senior faculry 

address their srudenrs in huge leccure halls, bur direct conracc wirh undergraduates in labs 

or discussion sections is delegated co graduate assisranrs. All courses ar the Naval Academy 

are raughr and graded by faculry members, nor by graduate assistants. 
Faculry 

Our faculry is an 1ntegrared group of nearly 600 officers and civilians in roughly equal 

numbers. This composirion is unique among service academies, and dares from the earliest 

days of the Naval School when three civilian teachers joined four Navy officers in the 

first faculty in 1845. Officers typically rotate to rhe Academy for cwo-ro-rhree-year 

assignments, bringing fresh ideas and experiences from operational units of rhe Navy 

and Manne Corps They can also explain how studies at the Academy apply in rhe Aeer 

and rhe field. A cadre of officer foculr} w1rh docrorates adds another dimension ro the 

reaching stalT as Permanent Military Professors. The Academy's civilian faculty members 

give continu1ry to the educational program and form a core of professional scholarship 

and ceaching cxpenence. All career c1\'llian faculty members have doctoral degrees, and 

many of chem are leading scholars in their fields. Working together, our military and 

civilian 111structors form one of che scrongesc and mosr dedicated reaching faculties of 

any college or university in rhe United Stares. 

Fawlty )enate 

Founded in 1993 as a consolidation of rwo earlier faculry organizations, the Uni red Srares 

Naval Academy Faculry Senare ad"1ses rhe Academy's se111or leadership on faculry and 

curriculum maccers. The Senare consists of approximarely 30 milirary and civilian represenrauves from the Academy's academic deparrments and divisions. The Senare usually meets 

twice a month dunng che academic year. 

Improving Yard-wide communicauon is an importanc Senate function. Senior Academy 

adm11mtrators arc ex-officio members of the Senarc and routinely address rhe membership 

on mucs of current interest. 

Academic Advising 

M1dsh1pmcn receive ample assistance in planning their academic programs. The academic 

advismg S}'Stcm has two stages. During their first summer ar the Academy, each company 

of new midshipmen is assigned cwo faculry members as cheir academic advisers. Each plebe 

receives academic counseling-and basic srudy skills instruction- before the srarr of che 

academic year. Ad\'lsing continues as often as necessary throughout the year. After academic 

maiors are seb.red in che spring of plebe yeas, midshipmen are assigned permanent faculry 

advisers in the academic deparcmenc of chac major. Professors and company officers are 

essential and helpful resources in providmg academic counseling and advice to midshipmen.

~larine Corps officers. Through required courses in engineering. narural sciences, social 

scienn•,, che hununiues. professional military subje<.cs and physical educacion, che Na,·al 

Academy gives midshipmen a balanced education for vircually any career path in che 

operating forces of our councry's naval ser\'ices. 

During che firsc }'<.':lr at che Academy. all course' are pare of che requirc:d core curriculum. 

These required cour,es form the foundmon for the more .1d\'anced courses, core and major .

A few m1dsh1pmen who give evidence of rhe abiliry co learn a critical language (Arabic, 

Chinese, Japanese or Russian) may be selected co begin study of rhe language in plebe 

year. This is arranged by postponing che governmenc and naval hiscory courses. 

Advan ced Placeme nt 

More than half rhe midshipmen encenng rhe Naval Academy validate one or more 

courses. Each of che Academy's academic deparrmencs sets irs own validation scanda.rds 

and considers one or more of che following: 

• rranscripcs. 

• Deparrmenc validation rests, adminmered ac r.he Naval Academy. 

• College Encrance Exarrnnaaon Board Achievemenc and Advanced Placement rescs. 

During Plebe Summer, all encering midshipmen cake placement examinations in English, 

mathematics and science. Individual midshipmen ma}' elect co rake placemenc exams 

in ocher d1sc1pl111e areas such as chemistry, economics, hiscory, physics, political science 

and foreign l.inguages. Excellenc performance on the placement exams may result in a 

m1d~h1pman validating courses and thus acceleracing porrions of their academic program. 

Over four p:Jrs, this may permit che student co reduce che number of courses taken 

in a parucular semester, or become eligible for special academic programs, for honors 

programs or for graduate programs. Ir may <tllow a student co complete a minor, or cake

technical needs of the Navy. Graduates who are proficient in scientific inquiry, logical 

reasoning and problem solving will provide an officer corps ready to lead in each warfare 

community of the Navy and Manne Corps. 

While rhe majority of midshipmen will choose rheir majors, rhe needs of rhe Naval Service 

rake precedence. For rhe Naval Academy Class of 2013 and beyond, ar least 65% of chose 

graduares commissioned into the U.S. Navy must complere academic majors in science, 

technology. engineering, or mathematics disciplines. This insdrucional requirement applies 

as well to NROTC programs at ocher colleges. At rhe end of plebe year, midshipmen choose 

a major course of srudy with counsel from academic and military advisors. 

Twency-cwo majors are offered:

Students who excel a1 the Naval Academy have many opporrunines to challenge and 

advance themselves through several special programs. 

Trident Scholars 

The Tndenr Scholar Program provides an opportunity for some exceptional I} capable 

midshipmen 10 engage in independent srudy and research during their first class (senior) 

year. l·ollowing their selection to the program at the end of their junior year, lndenr 

Scholars conduce year-long independent re5earch in an area of their interest, working 

clo~ly with a faculty advisor who is an expert 111 the area that the Scholar has chosen to 

invei.tigace. lridem Scholars carry a reduced formal course load co give them suffirn:m 

time for in-depth research a.nd for preparanon of a published thesis. T ridenr Scholars 

often report their find111gs of national confen:nces related co their field. Current Trident 

Scholars come from many different maJors and research topics that range from ''Analysis 

and Opum1zation of Vortex Oxidizer lnJernon 111 a Hybnd Rocket Moror System," 

and 'St.-arch for Galactic Asvmmetl)~ Developmg a Star Counc \lodel of the Galaxy,"

Compurer Engineering Major 

Compuicr cngtneenng ts J furl} recem, bur highly significanc and rdevanr sub-disc1pl111c of electrical 

engineering. Smaller, fas1er .. ind chc.1per are words chac describe che revolu1ionary changes associaced 

wi1h compuccr engineering. The compucer engineering major closely follows che dcccric.11 eng111eering 

m.11or lor 1hc lirs1 ye.tr. but diverges 1hereaher. A solid grounding in the fund.1memals of deccrical and 

computer engineering is followed by the opportunity co investigate ad,·anced copies in computer 

interfacing, computer nc1working. operating syscems. fiber optic systems, and digital sign" I processing. 

The Navy is cenain co need officers crained in compucer engineering 10 lead in rhc development, 

imegraiion, .ind opcr.uion of.1dv.rnced computer-based S)'Scems. The computer engineering maior 

leads co .1 bachelor of science in compucer engineering. The Depanmem is seeking early ABET accred1-

ta11on or the new computer engineering mJJOr by the Engineering Accred11.nion Commission of che 

t\ccrcdit.Hton Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) al the earliest permissible time. 

Computer engineering majors appl)' classroom concepcs in the laboratory throughouc che program. 

They arc able co cake advantage of the Department's well-equipped laborarories in gaining hands-on 

l-xpericncc in nearly every course in the major. The Department uses a rwo-pronged strategy ro emphasize skill> needed by computer engineering majors: a) encouragement of individual learning ar a lab 

stauon to ensure thorough underst.1nding of required skills and b) reliance on ceam eAorrs in solving 

dcst!!,n problems. Libs are regularly updated with leading-edge lechnology. 

The computer cnginccnng Cdpscone senior design laboratory sequence (El::.411 and EE415) is the 

culmin.uion of the computer engineering major. These courses imegrare the many skills .1cquired in 

prep.tratory courses ~o that srudencs can design, implemem, cesr, and demonsmue a significam projecr. 

The 5tetnmetz Prize for 111novacive work in chc electrical and computer engineering design laboratory 

course ~quences 1s aw.1rded to one srudcnr each year.

Mechanical Engineering Department 

Mechanical Engineering Majo r 

The mech.rnical engineering major, fully accredited by che engineering accredit.Hion commission known as 

ABET Inc .. is the most broad-based of all engineering programs a"ailable .H the Na"al Academy. Current Acee 

examples of mech.rnic.11 engineering include the struccural mechanics of ships and .1ircr:1f1; performance of gas 

turbine eng111es; con"crs1on of nuclear energy; and ad,·anced we.1pons sy,tems such as electromagnetic railguns Jnd directed energy weapons. These areas of interest require a firndamental undersc.111ding of che subjects 

co"ercd by the mechanic.ii engineering curriculum: solid mechanics, materi:il science, energy con\'ersion, Auids 

mechanics and the engineering design process. As pan of the core curriculum, meclunic.tl engineenng majors 

also t.1ke .1 number of cours~-s in electrical .rnd systems engineering. 

Mechanrcal engineers must be able to design systems char can wichsc.rnd forces without bre.1king and/or utilize 

forces 10 produce power. Swdents begin by inn·stigating how forces are distributed within solid strnccures and 

le.trn how to predict deform.111on and failure. This requires a fundament.11 undemanding of materials and their 

properties. Mechanic.11 engineers .tlso need 10 be able ro predict the deformation or Aow of Auids; and che force 

that result from the 1ncerac1ion of Au ids with solid objects. Students will also s111dy enerf?;Y and the conversion 

of chemical, nuclear or therm.ti energy inro mechanical power. 

The program takes seriously the need m develop graduates who have a sound understanding of the design 

process .111d its importance 111 the success of engineering activ1ry. Design educ.man in the program is developed through .1 sequence of courses, beginnmg 111 the first semester of the sophomore year and culminating in 

chc capstone senior design proJeCL, which is a 2-semester endeavor involving teams of srndents. Each ream is 

expected LO Jc.sign. build .Uld cest a mechanical system. 

The \lech.rnic.11 Engineering program prepares its graduates m assume responsibilities in the U.S. Navy and 

L" .S. \1.irinc Corps in"ol"ing the operation .rnd maintenance of highly technical systems. A Navy or Marine 

Corps officer with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering is well prep.ued for a wide vJriery of career 

ass1gnme111s both ashore and .1Aoac. Operational sea billets in surface ships. submarines, .tnd .tircrali. squadrons 

provide many opporrnnitics for .1 mechanical engineer to de,·elop prJcncal engineering experience. There ts an 

abund.rnc and continu111g need for mechanical engineers throughout 10<l.1r's naval service.

Naval Architecture M ajor 

One of the oldest engineering disciplines, na,.1J archirecrnre focuses on unique and complex endproducts, vessels to travel the world's \'.Jst oce-.rns, lakes and rivers. A special combination of knowledge 

and experience is needed co design .rnd huild these ,•essels. Variecy exists not only in the work involved 

(research, design, fabrication, and management), but also in che types of craft from sailbo;1rs ro aircraft 

c:.irriers, hydrofoils to catamarans, submarines to surface-effect ships and tugs co supertankers. 

N.1val architects use boch arr and science in des1gn111g ships. Armed with imagination and experience, 

the) convert funcrional requirements into a suicable, cosc-efTective design. They analyze and select the 

best dimensions, marerials and hull form, calculate rhe power requircmenrs and esrimare rhe weights 

of the principal componenrs. They design and analyze the hull structure and decide on the location 

of m.tchinery sp.1ces, living quarters. swrage spaces, tankage and weapons systems. ln addition, naval 

archicc:cts design in safery fearnres such :is watertight comparcmems so chat, if damaged. che chanccs of 

the vessel sink111g or capsizing are minimized. 

N.n.11 .mhitecturc at the Naval Academy approaches these copies in .1 fully inregraced program of 

classroom \css1ons, hands-on laboracory work, field trips. projects and the latest in computer-aided ship 

design techniques. A naval architecrnrc design room, two cowing tanks, a circulating wacer ch,innel, 

structural tcsting equipmenr and a static s1abiliry tank are some of chc many faciliries available 10 

m1<l~hipmcn majoring in nav.11 architcclllre. Distinguished and innovative faculry complemenr these 

exccllem facilities and contribuce co making naval architecrnrc .in ourst<111ding undergr.iduate engineering m;1jor. The major 1s fully accredited by the engineering :iccrcdit.Hion commission known as ABET,

Ocea.n Engineering Major 

Occ:..1n Engineering holds rhe key co the lase froncier on earth, the ocean depths. \lC'hile marine sc1encis1S 

pronde us wnh a ha.sic knowledge of the ocean environmcnc, the ocean engineer enables us co use this 

environmenc more dTecrivdy. By blending the fundament.1ls of mathematics. physics, chemistry Jnd 

oce.inography with knowledge of the engineering sciences, including ocean materials and wave mechanics, 

the ocean engineer plans, designs and builds a variery of coasral, harbor, and offshore srrucrnres; unmanned 

11nclerwarer vehicles and di,•er-suppon equipment; underwater acousric systems; ocean energy and other 

manne-relared environmencal systems. Multi-disciplinary in narnre, ocean engineering will appeal co civil, 

electrical, environmental and mechani~1l engineers who wish to practice in the oce-an realm. 

The ocean engineering major is fully .1ccredited by the engineering accreditation commission known as 

ABET, Inc. The m.1jor offers an imegmed program of study, using a balance between classroom theory, 

labowory work and practical application providing midshipmen with rhe background co work effectively as 

ocean engineers. Liboracory experiments are conducted in the 120-fooc and 380-foor wave and rowing tanks 

.ind coastal engineering basin. These are equipped with electro-hydraulic wave-makers and instrumented 

with sophisricaced sensors and on-line d.m acquisition and analysis equipment. A circulating warer channel, 

hypcrbaric rest facility and an environment.ii chamber are .1lso available. The Naval Academy's computer 

systems are used in solving design problems and preparing com purer-aided designs. Supervising. directing 

and reaching this program is a ream of professionals recognii.ed for providing one of che finest undergraduate 

majors in oce.in engineering i1\lllil.1ble in the country. A bachelor of science in ocean engineering is awarded.

Due 10 the ch,1ractenmc automauc fi111c11onalicy of its designs, che core con cent of the m.1jor is rhe study 

of feedback control and intelligent sensmg. Surrounding this core ;ue many .i.dvanced courses in microprocessors. robotics, unmanned vehicles, computer vision, and reb•anc emerging technologies. To enrich 

their knowledge of a specific field, scudencs of the major may take a couple of advanced courses from ocher 

engineering disciplines as well as mathematics, physics. and computer science. T he Nav:il Academy's Systems

History Department 

Hiscory Major 

The major in history provides an opporruni(y to examine (he evolurion of past civilizations and ro evaluate and understand the institurions, achievements, ethics and values of mankind through rhe ages. History 

majors learn to ev-.iluare ideas critically: to sift evidence, to draw conclusions and LO express rheir onclusions 

clearly and concisely. A clear undersranding of rhe even rs of the past provides a more acute awareness of 

contemporary issues and problems, as well as a concex1 and a process for evaluating chose problems. The 

program includes inrroducrory courses on che values and ideas of western civilization in a global concexr and 

on the history of rhe Unired Scaces Navy and Marine Corps. A bachelor of science degree is awarded. 

In addirion to rhe rhree hisrory courses in rhecorecurriculum (Hl-1104, HH215 and HH216), each 

hiswry major will also rake Perspecrives on Hisrory (HH262) and a Seminar in Advanced Hisrorical Swdies 

(Hl 1462). These courses inrtoduce rhe srudenrs to historiography and rhe techniques ofhiscorical research 

and wriring and enable them to pursue a hisrorical issue in depth. To ensure disciplinary breadth, cl1e 

depanmenc also requires each history major ro select upper division courses from four of rhe five of (he 

following fields of historical srudy: American, European, Regional (non-Wesrern), Thematidlncerdisciplinary and Naval/Milirary. 

The Honors program in history offers srudencs with superior abiliry in hisrory che opponuniry ro pursue 

a more challenging course of srudy and graduate with Honors in l lisrory ac Commissioning. Those 

srudencs accepted for the program will work closely with a faculry adviser and develop a major research 

paper (1111509) in the fall of fim class year. The 1 liscory depamnenr also requires Honors History majors 

ro rake two special seminars, HH507 (Honors Historiography) and HH508 (Honors Colloquium).

Arabic Major 

The major in Arabic allows srudencs to achieve an intermediate co advanced level or language proficiency in Modern 

Standard Arabic, the common tongue of twenty-three Arab world countries, while also familiarizing them wich many 

aspects of Arabic culrures, a broad sketch of Arabic cultural hiscory, and major current issues in Arab societies. Communicaiion in speaking and writing and appropriate cultural inreraction and idiomatic expression are emphasized at all levels. 

Srudencs study che language of rhe media; one of the major Arabic dialects; hiscorical, religious and policical discourses; 

and literature and ocher cultural manifescations from all ages of Arabic culture and all areas of che Arab world. Founcen 

duce-credit courses are required for che major: cen mandatory language courses and four collateral courses concerning 

ocher aspects of the Arab world, rwo oucside the major. Summer and semescer study abroad programs in the target 

cultures are srrongly recommended for Arabic majors. These language and cultural enrichmem programs allow students 

lO apply their skills in real-world sirnations and lO complece cheir degrees with significanc experience in the Arab world. 

Srndenrs emerge from che program with a working knowledge of Arabic for use in many differenc situations. They have 

gained an awareness of the mulciple ways in which che spoken forms of dialect Arabic vary from standard Arabic, and 

rhe imponanc political ;rnd cultural implications of language policy in the Arabic world. Finally, rhey acquire a growing 

appreciation of the achievements of Arabic cultural history and ics contributions lO modern global civilization, as well

Chinese Major 

The major 1n Chinese provides the opporrnniry for midshipmen to develop proficiency in the most widely spoken language on earth, 

Mandarin Chinese. Midshipmen achieve an intermediate level of proficiency in Chinese language for communication, come IO a 

substantial understanding of fundamencal aspects of Chinese culture, and develop a comprehensive perspecrivc and an analycical 

approach toward China (Mainland and Taiwan): its society, people and language. Fourteen duee-credit couroes Jre required for the 

major ten mand.11ory language courses and four collaceral courses, two Oll[side die major. One month of scudy abroad in China is 

wongly recommended. Because of language-specific difficulties in Chinese such as lexical rones, rhe non-phonetic character writing 

system, abund.tnt homophones. l1exible syntax and word formation, and a highly condensed wrinen discourse scyle, the language 

courses begin an the plebe year and continue through eight consecutive semesters. 

Majors in Chinese emerge from the program .iblc to read or listen to long senccnces or shore paragraphs, with chorough comprehension, on copies of daily life and everyday Chinese culture. They are also able to use vocabulary items consiscing of the 1500 mosc 

common Chinese characters, along with sufficient complexiry of syncactic and discourse srructu res ro express ideas on the wpics of 

rouunc daily discourse with acceptable Auency and accurdcy. Additionally. they understand che f~andamental conceprs and struccures 

that distinguish Chinese from English o r other languages, and rhe relacionship becween language structures and aspeccs of culture.

Mathematics Major 

The macliematics major (http:l/www.1u11n.edu/MllthDept) [eaches logical and cricical chinking; rundamenral abilicies rhar are invaluable to Naval and Marine Corps officers. Marhemacics plays a central role in vinually every technical and scientific field and is crucial 

in developing and applying modern. accurate models used lO evaluate systems and tactics 

in all phases of che modern bardefield. Mathematics majors learn to analyze problems, 

formulate solurions, and express resulrs in a clear and precise manner. These same skills are 

applied aboard a ship or submarine, inside a figlner jec or on the ground. The marhematics 

major also provides an excellent foundation for graduate work in any technical field as well 

as in business or law. Two tracks are offered: Applied Mathemarics and Mad1emarics. A 

bachelor of science degree is awarded. 

Eleccive courses offer the opponuniry to srudy a wide variery of topics such as operacions 

analysis, Auid Rows, crypcography, chaos, wavelets, fractals, target morion analysis, submarine 

cacrics, elliptic curves, computer arithmetic, and geometric comography for medical diagnosis. The marhematics honors program allows selected srndenrs to do in-depth research in such 

fields. The Marhemarics Deparrmenr consiscs of abou1 60 foculry members who are actively 

engaged in reaching and research. About 20 military officers on the fuculry bring first-hand 

experience in applying mathematics and mathematical chinking to specific Naval and Marine 

Corps problems. The civilian fuculry devotes subsranrial rime co current research in various 

specialry fields in pure and applied mad1ematics, as well as in operations research.

Oceanography Major 

The oceanography major gives rucure naval oflicers pracrical and cheorecical knowledge or che ocean 

env1ronmem anJ builds a sound academic foundacion for rurure gr,1Juate s1udy in any cechnical 

discipline. An interdisciplinary science major, oceanography involves che study or meteorology, 

geophysics, physics, chemistry, biology .ind geology as they relate to the ocean environment. 

Basic courses in these areas are prerequisites for more advanced oceanography and meceorology 

courses. Srudc:ncs cake courses in sound propagation in the ocean, che srudy or wa,•es and cides, .ind 

che use of satellites in oceanography. A course in advanced biologic,11 oceanogrnphy offers a glimpse 

of rhe undersea world and ics marine crearnres; synopcic meteorology courses involve hands-on 

weacher forecasting experience using rhc lacesr cools available. More chan 25 percenr of che required 

course load is within the oceanography specialry. Ocher courses include advanced marhemacics, 

necessary to describe che complex behavior of Auid environments. A bachelor or science degree 1s 

awarded. An honors program with a designaced honors degree is available for selecced scudents. 

The Naval Academy boascs che most exccns1ve undergraduate oceanographic facilities in che country. 

Located on a pier aJjacenr co chc mouth of the Severn River, che I lendrix Oceanography Laboracory 

is a mulci-foncrion enclosure featuring a wee laboratory where srudenrs study our nacion's largest 

estuary. the Chesapeake Bay. The academy's oceanographic research vessel enables midshipmen co

regarding the: I lonor Concept. The Honor Dcparcmcnt also coordinates honor hearings and 

remediation elf ores in che c:venc of any violations. 

The Training Department 

The Tr.unmg Deparrmcnc is responsible for all midshipman professional training conduc1ed outside 

the academic classroom. A four-year tra1111ng concmuum-Midshipman Qualifications Scancfards 

(MQS), closely resembling standard fleer qualificacion programs-provides guidance and strucrure 

to the prof=ional dc:velopmenc of midshipmen. The concinuum aligns a v:iriecy of programs-professional knowledge, Midshipman Leadership Developmenc Guide. Samrday Morning Training-and 

integrates chem into a coord.inared curriculum. As a resulc of chis craining continuum each midshipman !;"ins .1 b;t.Sc:-line le-.·d of professional proficiency and compecency prior co commissionmg.

Just as the Naval Academy promoces che professional and incelleccual development of 

midshipmen, so also muse it fulfill ics responsibility for each midshipmru1's physical 

developmenr. This is mcc through an inrercoUegiace spores program that is one of the 

broadest in che nation- 18 men, 11 women and three co-ed-and an equally ambitious 

intramural and club spores program. All midshipmen are required co panicipace in these 

programs, either at che varsity, incrarnural or club levd. 

Achletics play a major role in how we accomplish our mission. We challenge midshipmen 

phpically so rhac when the)' graduace chey will be prepared to successfully lead in combat. 

\'<le want our furure officers to be ceam builders and learn how co motivate ochers to excel. 

We wanr them co compete on the achletic field and win. In order to win, our midshipmen 

must set high goals for themselves and their ceam and find a way to achieve them Our 

hope is that by the time they JOin the rleet and Corps as junior officers, they will have 

learned not only whac teamwork, determination and leadership mean -bur how they 

transcend to succeeding in combac. Developing midshipmen physically is also about 

hard work, stamina and physical and mental coughness. Aggressiveness, perseverance 

and toughness in the face of adversicy are qualicies we want our graduates co demonstrace 

as second narure. 

The roll call of varsity "N" winners at che Naval Academy reads like a veritable Who's 

Who in America Rear Admiral Alan B. Shepard, che firsc American in space and a 

member of rhe heavyweight <.rew; Admiral Sransficld Turner, a former football lineman 

who became director of the Cenrral Intelligence Agency; Admiral Arleigh Burke, 

a wrestler who lacer was Chief of Naval Operations; Rear Admiral Richard Byrd, the 

polar explorer who capcained the Navy gymnastics ceam; Fleer Admiral Chescer Nim in, 

also a former Navy oarsman; Fleec Admiral Bull Halsey of World War 11 fame, a foocball 

player at the Academy; Heisman Trophy winners Joe Bellino and Roger Scaubach, and 

basketball scar David Robinson. 

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

arenas. Midshipman football teams ha,·e participated in the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, 

Orange, Holiday, l ibcrry, Aloha, Houston, Emerald, Poinsettia, Meineke Car Care 

and Eagle Bank Bowls. Navy's rivalry with Army is the greatest rivalry in all of 

college spons. 

In 2009-10, Navy spom teams compiled a record of 294-173-2 (.629). Na\'Y produced 

14 All-Americans, dght Academic All-Americans, 13 Conference Arhlcces of che Year and

Intercollegiate Athletics 

The Na"al Academy's intercollegiate athletics program is administered by the Na\'al 

Academy Athleric Association, a private non-profit corporarion. The Association is 

chartered so char the Academy can offer incercollegiace athletics ac no expense ro the 

federal government. The arhleric association arranges varsity schedules and provides 

coaching staff and equipment, and funding for che varsity athletic program. 

The Naval Academy is a Division I coUege and a member of the National CoUegiate 

Athletic Association. Its primary conference affiliation is with the Patriot League, a group 

of highly selt.'Ctive coUeges whose motto is, "roday's scholar-achletes, romorrow's leaders." 

Full members of the league are American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, 

Lafuyette, Lehigh and Navy. Several sporrs. including wrestling, sailing, ro"fog and 

gymnasrics have affiliarions in addition ro, or outside the Patrior League. For example.

of che mission and as such receives a priority much differenr than at a civilian school. The 

athlenc teams are an integral part of che overall education of a total person. Athletics provide 

leadership opportunities and the experiences of ceam play, cooperative effort, sporrsmanship, 

commitmenr and individual sacrifice for goals char some may or may nor be able co achieve. 

Athletics and compecicion are a big part of every midshipman's life at the Naval Academy.

midshipman companies rhat help in determining che selection of rhe Academy's "Color 

Company at che end of the academic year. The games are particularly spirited and allow 

midshipmen co compete ac a level appropriate co cheir individual achlecic ability. Company 

teams compete in a variety of spores. 

In addiuon co the varslt)' and intramural athletic programs, the Academy offers a variety of 

opponun1t1es co panicip:m in a very competitive Club Sports program. Most players in this 

program arc former high sthool athletes who desire co continue playing a sport, or learn a

Appendix A: Medical Considerations for Admissions 

The Naval Academy program is physically challenging. All candidares are rcquirOO tO undergo a thorough medical 

examination because Academy graduares are commis.5ioned in a wide variety of exciting career fidds with soia 

medical smndards. The medical p= begins after you have completed five document5 of your applicicion. Ac that 

rime, che U.S. Naval Academy Admissions offia: will upload your name co che Depamnem of Defense Medical 

Examination Review Board (DoDMERB). 

Do OM ERB will schedule your medical examination and carefully review the rcporcs co determine if 

you meec our mcdiml standards for admission. DoDMERB will consider your medical history and 

information on illnesses, injuries, surgery, familial diseases, and ocher faccors thac could atfecc your 

medical scams. You mighc be asked co submir additional reports and/or records from physicians or 

hospitals. 

Approximarely a momh after your physical is completed you will receive (by mail) a scarus report of 

che DoDMERB findings. If your admissions record is compecicive, and if rhe disqualifying condition 

is one for which a waiver mighr be possible, we will ask DoDMERB co prepare your file for waiver 

consideration You may have co provide amplif)'ing information on chc condition or undergo 

evaluation by a medical specialise. A waiver of rhe medical standard may be granted if your medical 

condition will nor prevent you from successfully completing your four years at rhe Naval Academy 

and fulfilling your five year service commirmenc. 

Major medical considerations are summarized here so that you and your doctors can anricipace if you 

meer che basic requirements for admission co che Academy. This is noc meanr co be a comprehensive 

listing of all disqualif)•ing conditions; ic is a brief and general summary for your convenience. 

Eyes and Vision Disqualifications 

Below is a lisring of those eye and vision disqualifimrions char are rhe most prevalent. This 

listing. while comprehensive, does noc contain all possible disqualifications for eyes and vision. 

l) Vision nor correctable co 20/20 in borh eyes is disqualifying. Refraccive error exceeding 

+ or -6.00 dioprers and asrigmacism exceeding 3.00 diopters is disqualifying. 

2) Substandard color vision is disqualif)•ing. Requests for waiver of che color vision standard are 

normally noc considered. Color vision is also recesced on Induction Day. 

3) Many chronic eye diseases/conditions such as keracoconus, glaucoma, optic arrophy, uveicis and 

rerinal degeneracions are disqualifying. A waiver is normally nor considered. 

4) Procedures co change che refraction (Corneal Refracrive Surgery) performed wich rhe excimer 

laser, including bur nor limited ro phocorefracrive keracecromy, laser epithelial keracomileusis, and 

laser-assisced in siru keracomileusis are disqualifying if any of che following conditions are mer: the 

pre-surgical refractive error in either eye exceeded a spherical equivalenr of +6.00 or -6.00 diopters, 

pre-surgical asrigmacism exceeded 3.00 dioprers, ar lease six-month recovery period has nor occurred 

between lase refractive surgery or augmenting procedure and accession medical exam, rhere have been 

complications and/or medications or ophthalmologic solurions required and pose-surgical refraction 

in each eye is nor srable. Additionally, history of any incisional corneal surgery, including bur nor 

Ii mired to partial or full thickness corneal transplant, radial kcrarocomy, astigmatic kerarocomy, or 

corneal rransplanrs are disqualif),ing. 
5) If you wear glasses or concac:.r lenses. take chem with you to your DoDM ERB qe cxaminarion. If 

you wear sofi concacr lenses, <lo nor use chem during rhe three dars preceding your examination. Do 

not use hard or gas permeable lenses for 21 dars before your examination. If you arc undergoing orrhokeratology or other forms of c:.orneal refractive rrearmenr, do nor use your rigid lenses for~· 

Height and Weight Standards 

The minimum qualifying heighr is 62 im:hes for men an<l 60 inches for women, and rhe maximum 

qualifying hcighr for all candidares 1s 78 inches. Waivers may be granted co a limited number of 

exceptional candidates whose height exceeds this standard. 

The minimum qualifying wcighr (by height) standards are lisred in the cable. Because of subsrantial 

variation in candidates' body composition, we apply an estimated body fat percentage when a candidate's weight exceeds the maximum listed. We will ask you to provide several measurements 

(if you don't foll within standards) with clear insrructions so you may ask your gym teacher, (perhaps 

when you take yo ur Candidate Ficness Assessmenr), a coach, or your school nurse ro provide the 

information. 

In such cases, rhe qualifying standard is the body far percentage: no more rhan 25 percenr for men 

and 35 percent for women, as derermined by our protocol. If your weighr is at least the minimum 

and nor more rhan the maximum shown for your heighr on the preceding table, you will nor be 

asked co provide measurements for the body far esrimare. 

Obesity will nor be waived. If you exceed the body far percentage standard on Induction Day, you 

may be denied admission co enter the Academy.

Dental Standa rds 

[ .xccp1 for minor or quesrionable areas, you should have all required den cal rrcarmenc com pieced before 

your medical examinacion. This secrion provides a lisring of maior dencal disqualifiers for admission co che 

Naval Academy. Disqualifying dencal conditions include bur arc nm limiced co: 

• Active caries (cavicics) inco rhe denrin char are noc restored with serviceable rescoracions 

• Unsamfaccory rescoracions, bridges, denrures, or implants; 

• Missing ceech causing reduced chewing or bi ring efficiency. 1l1ese can be replaced by well-designed 

bridges, partial dentures, or implants in good condition; 

• Wisdom tced1 causing sympcoms muse be removed. Asympcomaric impacted or partially impacced wisdom 

ceech are not generally disqualifying; 

• Current onhodonric appliances for conrinued treacmenr are disqualifying. However, if you are undergoing 

auive onhodonric creatmenr rhac will noc be compleced prior co your emry inro che Naval Academy, you will 

be considered for a waiver. Retainer appliances are permissible, provided char accive orchodonric rrcarmem has 

been saiisfoctorily completed. In che evenc orrhodoncic treatment rhac was to be compleced before I-Day cannot be com pieced, Admissions Medical must be norificd immediately for consideration of a waiver. All waivi::rs will be considered ona a case-by-case basis with discussion bcrween your orchodonrisr and USNA Deneal 

Clinic orchodonrisr. In general, if che orthodontic appliances are compacible for concinued rrearment at che 

USNA Deneal Clinic, a waiver will be granced. 

• lntections or chronic diseases of che soft tissue of rhe oral cavity; 

• Nccrouc (non-vital) or infected dencal pulp or uncomplered root canal therapy; 

• '-.1arked malocclusion char requires early or prolonged creacmenc, involves cissue impingemenr on either 

facial or lingual/palatal gingival, or in some ocher way jeopardi1es denral health; 

• Scvne or extensive apical or periodonral infec1ion; 

• Perforations from the oral cavity inro che sinus cavity or maxillary sinus; and 

• Tumors or cysts of rhe oral cissues chat can be expected ro require treacmenr in the foreseeable fucure. 

Concluding Comments 

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

Academy is comprehensive, and che medical/denral standards are specific and srricc. This is necessary 

because our goal is for every midshipman robe able co ancicipare unresrricred opporcunicies for commissioned 

sc:rvicc after graduarion. For most candidates, che physical examination process will require no more chan a 

single "isic to the office of a physician and an opromecrisr. For ochers, questions will arise char may necessicace 

a variery of addicional evaluarions.
