Introduction 

United States Naval Academy 

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

ro become profc:ssional officers of competence, characu:r. and compassion in rhe U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. 

Naval Academy students are midshipmen on active dut)' in rhe US Navy. They :mend rhe academy for four years, 

graduating with bachelor of science degrees and commissions as ensigns in the '\Javy or second liemenants in the 

'vtarine Corps. 

Naval Academy graduates serve ac least five rears in che Navy or Marine Corps. 

Around the Yard 

The scenic Naval Academy campus, known as rhe Yard, 1s located in hiscoric Annapolis. Md .. where che Severn River 

Hows in co the Chesapeake Bay. With its combination of early 20ch-centurJ and modern build111gs. the Naval Academy 

is a blend of tradition and scace-of-che-arc rechnology char exemplifies today's Navy and Marine Corps. Jhroughour 

the Yard tree-shaded monuments commemorate rhe bra,·el}' and heroism char are an inherenr part of che academy"s 

heritage. Buildings and walkways are named for l\.aval Academr graduates who have contributed to naval histol}' and 

their nation. 

The 0:aval Academy also is the final resting place of Revolutional}' War naval hero John Paul Jones, whose words. 

" I have nor yet begun ro fight, have inspired generations of naval officers. His crypt 1s located beneath rhe Academ} 

chapel A Nacional Historic Sire, rhe Naval Academy hoses more than one million rourisrs eve!}' year from all over 

che Un iced States and around rhe world. They come to enjoy the nacural beaut)' of che Yard. ro recall some of rhis 

countl}·'s naval histOl}' and ro marvel at the craditions carried on in midshipmen parades and milital}' formacions. 

Tourists and midshipmen also appreciate downtown Annapolis, which lies just outside rhe gares of the Academy. \X'ich 

irs colonial charm and busy waterfront, \larvland's stace capital provides a pleasant, diverse setting for one of Americas 

premier colleges, rhe United Stares Naval A.cademy. 

History 

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

of old Farr Severn in Annapolis. Since chen, the development of the Naval Academy has reAecced the hisrory of che 

United Stares. As our country has changed culmrally and technologically, so has the Naval Academy In only a fe,, 

decades, che Navy has moved from a Aeec of sail and steam-powered ships ro a high-tech Heer with nuclear-powered 

submarines and surface ships and supersonic aircraft. The Academy has changed, roo, giving midshipmen the up-rodare academic and professional training they need robe effective naval officers in cheir assignments after graduation. 

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

midshipmen ro smdy ac che Academy for four years and co train aboard ships each summer. Thar format is che basis of 

a far more advanced and sophisricared curriculum at the Naval Academy today. As the U.S. Navy grew over rhe years, 

che Academy expanded. lhe campus of I 0 acres increased ro 338 The original student body of 55 midshipmen grew 

co a brigade of 4,000 midshipmen. Modern granite buildings replaced che old wooden scruccures of Fort Severn and 

che original Na,·al School. 

11 
12 

Congress auchorized che Na,·al Academy ro begin awarding bachelor of science degrees in 

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

presenc core curriculum plus 22 major fields of study, a wide variety of deceive courses and 

ad\'anced srudy and research opportunities. 

Missio n 

The Naval Academy has a unique clarir)' of purpose, expressed in our mission: 

"lo develop midshipmen morally, mencally and physically and ro imbue chem with the 

highest ideals of dury. honor and loyalty in order co graduace leaders who are dedicared co a 

career of naval service and have pocencial for fururc developmenr in mind and characccr co 

assume the highesc responsibilicics of command, citizenship and governmenr." Our mission 

forms the basis for everything we do ac the Academy. It also encourages a sense of spine and 

pride found ac few other schools. 

Program 

Developing midshipmen moral!). menrally and physically conrributes ro producing 

outstanding naval officers of competence, characrer, and compassion. 

Mom! Development 

Moral de"elopment is a fundamental clement of all aspecrs of che Naval Academy 

experience. As furure officers in che Navy or \larine Corps, midshipmen will soon be 

responsible for the priceless lh·es of young Sailors and Marines and multi-million dollar 

equipmcnc. From Plebe Summer through graduation, che Naval Academy's Officer 

Oe,·elopment program is a four-year inregrared concinuum chac focuses on rhe arcributes 

ofinregrity, honor, and murual respecc. 'TI1is program helps midshipmen develop a clearer 

sense of rheir own moral beliefs and rhe ability ro arriculare rhem. Honor is emphasized 

rhrough che Honor Concepc of rhe Brigade of Midshipmen-a system originally formulated 

in 1951 which states, "Midshipmen are persons of inregrity: chey scand for char which is 

right." These Naval Academy "words co live by" are based on respecr for human dignil). 

respecc for hones(}' and respect for the properry of ochers. A Brigade Honor Comminee, 
omposed of upperclass midshipmen, is responsible for education and training in the Honor 

Concepc. Midshipmen found in violation of the Honor Concept by their peers may be 

eparaced from the Naval Academy. 

ental Development 

Every midshipman's academic program begins wirh a core curriculum char includes courses 

in engineering, science, mathematics, humanities and social science. The goal is a broadbased education co qualify you for practically any career field in the Navy or Marine Corps. 

Ar che same rime, our majors program gives you the opporruniry co develop a particular 

a.rea of academic interest. For especially capable and highly motivated srndcncs, we offer 

challenging honors programs and opportunities ro srarr work on postgraduate degrees while 

scill at the Academy. 

Physical Development 

The duties of Navy and Marine Corps officers ofren require long, strenuous hours in difficult 

situations. The Naval Academy therefore reaches the importance of being physically fir and 

prepared for stressful siruacions. The physical requirements of Plebe Summer training, four years 

of physical education and year-round athletics also develop pride, teamwork and leadership. 

Professional and Leaders/up trammg 

\X'e don't just cell you abour life in rhe Navy and Marine Corps, you live it. Afrer four years 

at the Naval Academy, che life and customs of che naval service become second nature. 

First, you learn to cake orders from practically everyone, bur before long, you acquire the 

responsibiliry for making decisions char can affect hundreds of ocher midshipmen. Your 

professional classroom scudies are backed by many hours of practical experience in smallunit leadership on land and on the warer. 

Co11trol of the sens menm 

security. Co11trol of the sens 

menns peace. Co11trof of the 

sens cnn met111 victory. The 

United Srtttes must control 

the sett if it is to protect 

our security.

About our Midshipmen 

11 rakt·s a special kind of young man or woman co handle the Naval Academy's demanding program, bur rhat doesn t mean 

;111 midshipmen are alike. Midshipmen come from all 50 scares, U.S. cerricories and several foreign countries. "They have 

roots in ciries, suburbs, farms and ranches, small towns and military bases. They have calencs and hobbies o( every kind and 

personalities thar fie every description, and rhey represem che diverse ethn ic and cultural hericages thar, cogether, make che 

Unitc.:d Scates a grear narion. [he young men and women who choose che Naval Academy arc looking fur more than a coUegc degree. They 

like the idea of being challenged me111ally, physically and morally. 1hey are people who don'c wane co senle for che ordinary, che 

routine, or rhe easy. 

Midshipmen also wa111 to serve rht'.ir coumry in a meaningful way-in a profession that helps preserve our nacion's freedoms. 

Finally. midshipmen are young people who look co che fururc. They look forward ro the.: challenging Naval Academy program, 

as wdl as the opporrnnitics open to rhem in the Navy and Marine Corps after graduation.

Our Commitment 

Seering aparr the Naval Academy from almost every other college and universiry in rhe 

country is our commirment ro che rota! developmenr of our srndencs. Some other colleges 

offer more majors in academics. Some puc more emphasis on inrercollegiare arhlecics. 

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

physically than ar che Naval Academy If you are chosen ro enrer the Naval Academy, we 

believe you can complete this rough, four-year program. In facr, we are commirred ro rhe 

principle of helping every midshipman succeed. We back up char commicmenc wirh: 

• Small class size. Most classes have no more chan 22 srudenrs. When you are an 

upperclassman, some courses in your major may have only five ro I 0 ocher srudencs 

• Low stude111 to-farulty mrio. Faculry members ger ro know you personally in and 

out of rhe classroom. They also arc available ro help with excra insrruction or special 

projects. It's not unusual ro find professors and midshipmen burning rhe lare-nighr oil 

together in an Academy research lab or in a classroom. 

• Protecred swdy rune. Lvening stud}' period is reserved from 8-11 p.m. Sunday through 

Friday to help all midshipmen keep up with rheir courses. Additionally, Nimitz Library,

If you encer che Naval Academy or the Naval Academy Preparatory School !Tom the Navy or Marine 

Corps, che remaining period of your enliscmem or obligared service is nor cerminared when you 

accepr an appoimmem ro d1e academy. Therefore, if you do nor fulfill che Agreemenc to Serve, 

you will rerurn ro enlisred srarus to complete rhe period of service for which enlisred or 

obligated, as provided by Tide I 0, U.S. Code, Section 516. In cakularing rhe unexpired parr 

of an enliscmenc or period of obligared service, time as a midshipman is coumed as service 

under that enliscmenc or service obligarion. However, if you are discharged or your resignacion 

is accepred afrer beginning your second class academic year ar rhe Naval Academy, you incur che 

same obligations described above for chose who enrer che academy from civilian life. 

Jn either case, if you leave d1e Naval Academy after che start of your second class year or refuse a 

commission upon graduation and do nor complete rhe active-duty service obligarion, whether 

volunrarily or through misconducr, you can be required ro reimburse d1e United Scares for the 

cosr or education received ar the Naval Academy. This cost is computed by the Naval Academy and includes the coses of professors' salaries, supplies and other expenses. Ir is comparable co rhe ruirion at a highly seleccive privare university. The amounr robe reimbursed in a 

particular case varies proporrionally wirh rhc period of un-served obligation, ranging up co rhe 

enrire cost of your education. 

Costs and .financial obligations 

AJ1 inceresr-free loan from the federal governmenr is advanced co entering midshipmen 

ro hdp defray first-year coses. This loan is repaid through monthly deductions from 

midshipmen pay during the first rwo co rhree years at the Academy. 

If you volumarily leave the Naval Academy before repaying these and any other obligations, 

you muse pay the debts in full before separacion. 1f you are separated involunrarily, you muse 

rum in enough uniforms and equipmenr suitable for reissue co pay your debcs. 
Police Reford Checks 

Each c.1ndiJate receiving an offer of appointment is required co complete a routine 

PolICe Rt:cord Check with his or her local law enforcement agencies. 1l1e Naval Academy 

will ~t:nd you forms char you must cake co these offices. These background checks are a precursor ro the National Agency Check (NAC) rhat will be initiared during Plebe 

Summer. ·1 he Polke Record Check and the NAC are used to determine your credibiliry and 

suicabilicy for service and co grant a security clearance for access co classified material. 

The posst:ssion and che use of a foreign passporr in preference co a U.S. passport raises 

doubts as co whether rhe indh•idual's allegiance co che United Scares is paramount. A 

security clearance will be denied or revoked unless che foreign passport is surrendered. Anyone who possesses a foreign passport must return che passporr co che appropriare coumry's 

embassy or consulate, requesting a return endorsemenr. The endorsement is a prerequisite 

ro any sccuriry clearance decerminarion.

Life at the 

Na val Academy 

It would be impossible co predict whar four years at the Naval Academy would be like for 

you personally. but we can describe our philosophy. our curriculum and t:he daily life you 

can expect. Only after you've experienced the exhausting rigors of Plebe Swnmer, and afrer 

you have faced the responsibility ofleading other midshipmen and after you have thrown 

your hat inro rhe air ar graduarion will you really know what the Naval Academy experience is 

all about. Make no mistake: the four years at Annapolis are very challenging, righrly 

scruccured, and designed to push you well beyond what you think are your limits. Within rhis 

framework however, Lhere are many ways you can pursue your individual areas of interest. 

In this section. we will give you a general description of life at the Naval Academy. Lacer 

chaprers give you rhe derails of the academic, athleric and professional training programs. 

D efini tio ns 

Lee's scare with a few basics. On your first day at t:he Academy, you begin learning a whole 

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

and che restroom is 'che head.' likewise, midshipmen senioriry is srated in a way different 

from cradicional college terms. 

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

between chief warranr officer and ensign in the Navy. A midshipman first class is a senior 

or "firscie." The srudent body ii; the Brigade of Midshipmen, or simply 'che Brigade,' and 

rhe naval service often is called 'the Fleet.' The brigade is divided into six battalions. Five 

companies make up each battalion, making a total of 30 companies. The midshipmen 

command scrucrure is headed by a first class midshipman, chosen for ourstanding leadership 

performance to be brigade commander. He or she is responsible for much of the brigade's 

day-to-day activities as well as rhe professional rraining of midshipmen. Overseeing all 

brigade activities is the Commandanr of Midshipmen, an accive-dury Navy or Marine Corps 

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

and senior enlisted lead the compa111es and banalions. 

Living with Hono r 

The Honor Concept of the Brigade of Midshipmen was escablished by midshipmen to urge 

all hands co carry our Lheir duties with rhe highest sense of personal inregriry and honor. lt 

represents t:he minimum standard that midshipmen are expected to follow. Honor, integriry, 

and loyalty to rhe service, its cuscoms, and irs traditions, are fundamental characrerisrics 

essential ro a successful naval officer. Lying, chearing, and stealing are inrolerable in t:he

brigade as in the Fleet, and may be cause for separation from che Naval Academy. "I11e 

emphasis is on "doing what is righc .. rad1cr than simply not breaking che rules. 

To underscore their commitment to living a life of honor. midshipmen developed and 

implemented a living documenc known as che Honor Treatise of che Brigade of Midshipmen. 

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

who they are and whac they are striving to achieve. le secs forth the common goals and ideals 

which midshipmen envision for thcmsdves at chc Naval Academy as well as in che Fleet. 

·1hc Honor Concept and Honor Treatise are rhe brigade's way of preparing midshipmen 

for a life of honorable service co their counrry. After all, the future of che Navy, Marine 

Corps, and Naval Academy relies on ils men and women. and their dedication co strive 

10 do chat which is right. 

Life in the Brigade 

No maccer what your background, chances are rhe living arrangements at the Academ)' arc 

differenc from anything rou have experienced. The day begins with reveille and ends with 

"'lights out." You stand watches, march to meals and wear uniforms for almost everything 

you do. You and rour roommates muse keep your room ready for a militaf)' inspcccion at anr 

rime and keep your uniforms in regulation condition. Demerirs are awarded for a room or 

uniform chat is noc in proper order or "squared a"ay. 

All midshipmen live in Bancroft Hall. a huge dormitory complex. You are assigned to a room 

wich one or more midshipmen and live 1n close proximiry co abouc 130 ocher midshipmen in 

your compan\'. Men and women midshipmen from all four classes make up each companr 

Each company has ics own area called che \,ardroom" for meetings and recreation.

Spiritual Opportunities 

The copper-green dome of rhe Chapel rowers over the ocher buildings 111 the Yard at the Naval 

Academy and. 111 a sense, serves as a svmbol or rhe academy ro the oucside world. This 1s more than 

a coincidence. O\"er rhe decado of our history, fighnng Americans have learned by experience thac 

there 15 a dimension to military leadership- both in and our of combat that is essennal ro real 

effectiveness. lnis is the spiritual factor, the intangible quality we call moral courage. 

Jc is chis aspect of the academy's mission char the Religious Ministries Program strives ro fulfill: 

ro foMer sp1mual fitness and promote the moral development of che midshipmen within rhe 

tenets of an individual's personal faith or belief. The Chaplam Center serves che religious and 

spirirual needs of the brigade by ministering ro the midshipmen ch rough pascoral care, spiritual 

and religious menroring. ritual and sacramenral obligations and by providing pasroral care for 

a ll , regardless of their faich background. 

The academ}' embraa.-s freedom of religion in all that we do. ll1is means allowing our midshipmen 

co worship or nor as du.')' desire while placing no requiremencs on midshipmen co embrace specific 

beliefs or pamcipare in specific rd1g1ous events. At rhe same rime we provide support for a wide 

vane!)" of religious beliefs so those midshipmen who desire to worship are free and able to do so for 

their own personal moral de .. elopmem. 

'JC'h1lc: acrcndanc:e ac religious services is \'Olunrary, midshipmen are reminded rhal as officers of rhe

Recreation 

All midshipmen are encouraged ro rake pan in one of the academy's many clubs

Specffltor Sports 

On autumn weekends. the exciremem and color of Navy football sweeps rhe

Memorial Stadium. 111e football season ends with the entire brigade cheering on

teams to cheer on as wdl. Outstanding spectator facilities bring our enthusiastic Navy supporccrs for almost e\'ery rivalry from wresding and swimming to

Plebe Sponsor Program 

During Plebe Summer, every midshipman is introduced roan Annapolis-area 

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

based upon class. 

Motor Vehicles 

R~rrinions apply to your use or moror vehicles as a midshipman. This is necessary because 

parking space is vel) limited ar rhe Academy and in Annapolis. Also, you have limited rime

Midshipmen through an extensive four-year curriculum rhac covers a broad range of topics 

such as date rape awareness, prevention and intervention. Midshipmen are also educated 

on viuim support, viccim's rights, and the medical and legal aspects of sexual assault cases. 

Various guest lecturers, specializing in the copic of sexual assaulr awareness and deterrence, 

provide further education throughout each year. :--lidshipmen are expected co exercise 

responsibility in prevencing and deterring unacceptable behavior from occurring. and to 

conduct d1emselves as officers with characcer.

"The Naval Academy has a long, proud cradicion of educating and training leaders for the greatest challenges of national 

service. We prepare our graduares ro lead the nation's sailors and Marines immediately upon graduation. We also provide 

a firm foundation of knowledge ar che baccalaureate level on which our graduates can lacer build the specific ex peruse 

rhey will need for their career progression. The careers on which Naval Academy graduates embask demand individuals 

who can think cnucally. analyze complex problems, speak and wrire ascicularely, and fairhfully support the values of their 

service and their nauon. 

The foundation of rhe academic prograsn ac the Naval Academy is our core curriculum. Taught by one of our nation's 

finest undergraduate faculties 111 first class facilmes, rhe core curriculum ensures all graduates receive a comprehensive, 

inrellecrually challeng111g education which prepases chem co cackle a diverse array of complex problems. Ir is in our core 

curriculum char midshipmen develop rhe professional competence necessary for any of our graduates co succeed 111 any 

available career field 1n rhe Navy or Marine Corps. 

The Naval Academy also offers each midshjpman a selection of:?.2 majors in disciplines as diverse as engineering, math, 

rhe physical sciences, rhe humaniries and the social sciences. Each of these majors comribures co rhe development of a 

strong educational foundation necessasy for our graduates co excel in their immediate responsibilities and 1n furure srudies. 

Some majors have been rared by independem national auchoriries as among the besr of their discipline in che country. 

Most 1mporrandy, in che Naval Academy's academic program, we seek not only co educate our midshipmen, but to 

substantially conrnbure co rhe development of their chasaccer. Through consistently high standards of performance, 

a demanding curriculum and a srimulacing leasning environment, we develop leaders characterized by self-discipline, 

iniriacive, dererm1nanon and a commicmenr co life-long learning. The academic prograsn complements the professional 

rrain111g, character development and the physical education components of rhe Academy program co produce these critical 

leadership qualmes Wirh its comprehensive core curriculum, oucsranding majors program, and emphasis on character 

development, I believe 1he Naval Academy is producing ourscanding leaders for tomorrow and the next millennium." 

Educational Philosophy 

It's hard roger lose [n che classroom ar rhe Naval Academy. Our philosophy of educanon 

stresses arcencion co individual srudenrs by highly qualified faculty members who are 

strongly commirred co reaching. Classes are small, wirh an average size of about I 8 srudems. 

Even che core courses required of all midshipmen are taught in sections about th is size, so 

chat midshjpmen receive individualized arrenrion from rheir instructors. In science and 

engineering courses, the san1e professor who lecrures in rhe classroom supervises experimencs 

in rhe lab. This practice concrasrs sharply wirh many universities, where senior faculty 

address rheir srudenrs in huge lecrure halls, bur direcr conracc wich undergraduates 111 labs 

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

are caught and graded by faculry members, nor by graduate assisrants. 
Faculty 

Our faculty 1s an 1ntegraced group of nearly 600 officers and c1vil1ans 111 roughly equal 

numbers. This compomion is unique among service academies, and daces from che earliesc 

days of chc: Naval School when chree ci"ilian reachers JOined four Navy officers in che 

firsc faculf)· 111 184 S Officers rypically rorare co rhe Academy for rwo-ro-chrce-year 

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

and Manne Corps. They can also explain how scudies ac the Academy appl} an rhe fleer 

and the field. A cadre of officer faculry with doctorates adds another d1mens1on co chc 

waching srafT as Permanent .\1alicary Professors. The Academy's civilian faculty members 

give continuity co the educational program and form a core of professional scholarship 

and teaching experience. All career civilian faculr}' members have doctoral degrees, and 

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

civilian inscrucrors form one of the scrongesc and mosr dedicaced reaching faculcies of 

any college or univermy in the United Stares. 

f"nmlty Senate 

founded 111 1993 as a consolidacion of cwo earlier faculry organizations, rhe U111red Scates 

Naval Academy Faculry Sen;He advises the Academy's senior leadership on faculty and 

curriculum maners. The Senate consiscs of approximacely 30 milicary and civilian represencative~ from rhe Academy's academic departments and divisions. rhe Senate usually meecs 

f\\'ICC a month during che academic year. 

Improving Yard-wide communication 1s an important Senate function. Senior Academy 

adm111mra1ors are ex-officio members of the Senate and rouonely address rhe membership 

on issues of current mreresc. 

Academic Advising 

Midshipmen receive ample assistance in planning their academ1C programs. The academic 

ad"is111g system has t\vo scages. During their first summer at che Academy, each company 

of new midshipmen is assigned two faculty members as their academic advisers. Each plebe 

rccei\'cs academic counseling-and basic scudr skills inscruccion- before the start of the 

academic year. Advising continues as often as necessary throughout the year After academic 

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

advisers in che academic department of char maier. Professors and company officers are 

essencial and helpful resourco in providing academic counseling and advice co midshipmen.

sciences, t:he humanities, professional milirary subjeccs and physical education, the Naval 

Academy gi\'es midshipmen a balanced educanon for vircually any career path in the 

operating forces of our councry's naval services. 

During the first year ar the Academy, all courses are pan of the required core curriculum. 

These required courses form the foundation for che more advanced courses, core and major, 

chosen by upperclass midshipmen. Some core requirements in the upperclass years have alternative courses from which ro choose, depending on your academic background, abilicies and 

major. Courses in your academic maior also prepare you for advanced professional training 

and postgraduate education, which are expecred of nearly all naval officers. 

The typical academic schedule for plebes includes five courses in each of cwo semesters: 

Plebe Jt'11r. first semester - 16 credit hours 

• Calculus l - Mose begin here, some validate and are placed inco lacer calculus 

courses, and a few plebes noc ready for calculus rake a pre-calculus course char does 

nor counr as pan of the minimum marhemarics requirement. 

• Chemis1ry l - This foundarion science course includes cwo hours of bborarones 

each week. 

• U.S. Government and Consmuc1onal Development- The foundation of 

American democracy. 
• Preparing to Lead - Baseline course for leader development; introduces basic 

concepts of self-knowledge. self-leadership. and leading others. 

• Rhetoric and lntroducrion co L1rerarure I - Most plebes rake this class; some 

will scart w1rh a practical wrinng course that prepares for this class. 

• Fundamentals of Naval Science - The basic elements of shipboard 

operation, organization and propulsion. 

Pkbe year. second semester- 18 credit horm 

• Calculus II - Continuacion of the first-semester course. 

• Chemistry 11 - Continuation of the firsc-semesrer course. 

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

• lnrroducrion co Navigation 

• Rhetoric and Introduction to L1rerarure II. 

Advanced Placem ent 

More than half the midshipmen entering rhe Naval Academy validate one or more 

courses. Each of che Academy's academic departments secs irs own validation standards 

land considers one or more of rhe following: 

• Transcnprs. 

• Department \•alidarion resrs, administered ac the Naval Academy. 

• College Entrance Examinat1on Board Acluevemem and Advanced Placement restS. 

Dunng Plebe Summer, all entering midshipmen rake placement examinations in English, 

machemaucs and science. Individual midshipmen may elecr co cake placement exams 

in other discipline areas such as chemisrry. economics, history, physics, political science 

I and foreign languages. Excellenr performance on che placemem exams may result in a 

m1dsh1pman validating courses and ch us accelerating portions of their academic program. 

Over four years, chis may permir rhe scudem co reduce the number of courses raken 

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

1 programs or for graduate programs. Ir may allow a srudenc ro complere a minor, or rake

receive academic counseling from eheir faculry advisers ro help chem underscand che1r 

performance on rhe examinarion and subsequent placement in a parcicular level or 

seccion of a course. 

ln any cast·, m1dsh1pmen muse rake a minimum of 15 credit hours each semester and

Scholars conduce year-long independent research in an area of their mcerest, working 

closely with a faculry advisor who is an expert in the area that che Scholar has chosen ro 

invesugace. Tndent Scholars carry a reduced formal course load ro give chem sufficient 

time for 111-depth research and for preparation of a published thesis. Tridem Scholars often 

also report rheir findings 111 national conferences related ro their field. Current Tridenr 

Scholars come from many different majors and research rop1cs thac range from "Analysis 

and Opum1i.at1on ofVorcex Oxidizer lniecnon 111 a Hybrid Rocket Mocor Syscem," 

and "Scar<.h for Galactic Asymmetry; Developing a Scar Count Model of the Galaxy,"

Bowman Scholar Program 

The Bowman Scholar Program provides an opporcuniry for a small group of Naval 

Academy midshipmen who are seeking initial service ass1gnmencs 111 the nuclear Navy co 

compete for appointments as Admiral Frank Bowman Scholars. Prior to their selection, 

candidaccs are screened for the Navy's nuclear power program by the Director, Naval 

Reacrors. If selected for nuclear power training and subsequently appointed as a Bowman 

Scholar, che Scholar parcicipates in a tailored re5earch internship during one of the summer 

1 tra111mg blocks preceding first class year and then parcicipaces in a special research-based 

learning opportunity during his or her last year as a midshipman. During the first year of 

commissioned service after graduanon, Bowman Scholars are generally offered immediate, 

one-year graduate education resulcing in a master·s degree in a technical discipline. Class 

of 2009 Bowman Scholars will be cackling research projects char range from "Macerial 

Alccrnarivcs for Rapid Metal Prorotyp1ng of Milicary Components," and "Analyzing

courses in k-adership anc.I moral reasoning caught throughout the midshipman's four years 

at the academy. The goal of this <oeminar is to support d1e mission of the Naval Academy 

by providing first class midshipmen the opporruniry to discuss some complex ethical and 

moral 1ssuL'S. Topics are discussed in small groups. which include a mix of midshipmen md 

scaft/facult\ members. The semmar gives each first das.~ midshipman a valuable opportunit\· 

to cesc has or her thoughcs, and challenges chose of rheir peers. Thi5 experience is enhanced 

by input from fuculcy and staff members in addition ro inreresred alun111i, who h;wc experienced similar s1tuacions either as commissioned officers in the Aet:t or civilia11 profession

to topics appropriate to their fi.l(ure commissioned service. a guesr speaker 1s invired to add 

an experienced pcrspecrive. Each first class midshipman is required ro aaend one of these 

day-long seminars that are offered numerous rimes throughom the academic year. These 

seminars are funded by private donarions &om rhe Elliorr Family and rhe HE RO Campaign 

for Designated Drivers in memory of their son, Ensign John Ellioa, Class of2000. 

• Honor Rnnediarion Progmm. The midshipmen who are found in v1olauon of the Honor 

Concept bur retained bv the Commandant or Superimendam are placed inro a comprehensM· honor remediation program This program places the midshipman under the 

mcmorship of a senior officer for a designated period, usually four months. This introspective period requires readings and personal reflection on honor, extensive discussions with rhe 

menror. parncipation in community service, and completion of a wrirren rhesis. 

• Chamctn Development Spettkm Program. During Plebe Summer, prominenc speakers 

&om the Navy and Marine Corps are brought in ro talk about the naval service core values 

of Honor, Courage, and Commirmenr. The Naval Service Core Values Speakers program 

enables the new class ro inreracr with such prominenc leaders as MaJor Chrisropher Bronzi, 

US/\IC (Courage); Admiral Charles Larson, USN (Ret.) (Navy Core Values); Captain Gerald 

Coffee, USN (Rer.) (Honor); MGEN Charles Bolden, USMC (Ret.) (Comm11:me111); and 

Ms Nesse Godin, Holocaust Sur.~vor (S11n'IVmg the Holocaust). 

Grading 

Grades have an added dimension ar the Naval Academy in that rhey affect your status and 

privileges as a midshipman As the major determinant of class rank, they also influence ship 

selecnon or advanced training scheduling following service assignment and seniority upon 

graduation and commissionmg. 

We use a lerrer grading system with these values, called qualiry point equivalents, or QPE: 

A 4.0 {Excellent) 

B - 3.0 (Good) 

C 2.0 (Sarisfacrory) 

D 1.0 {Marginally passing) 

F 0.0 (Failing) 

I = No Value (Incomplete) 

Grades are averaged using a 'veighted semester hour system called the quality poinr racing or QPR. 

The QPR IS figured by multiplying rhe QPE received in each course by the semester hours of credit 

for the course. Thar rota! is divided by rhe rota! number of hours completed in the semester. You 

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

Midshipmen must maintain a cumularive QPR of2.0 or above or they risk academic 

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

academically deficienr midshipmen. Midshipmen subject to academic discharge are those 

who fail nvo or more courses; have a semester QPR below I .5; fail ro remove academic 

probanon; are nvo or more courses behind in the matrix of the assigned major; do not 

fulfill a requirement previously assigned by rhe Academic Board; or do not complete all 

graduanon requirements by the end of rhe first-class year. 

Grades in military performance, conduct, physical education and summer professional 

training are noc mcluded 111 rhe QPR, bur rhey are figured inro class standing. Sacisfactory 

performance in professional areas 1s required.

Electrical Engineering Major 

Elecmcal Eng1neenng 1s one of the cornerscone disciplines chac will shape many aspcccs of the Navy for 

the foreseeable future. The major offers a solid grounding in the fundamentals of eleccrical eng1necnng, 

as well as the opponunicy co investigate ad,·anced copies in communicacion sysrems, digica.I computers, 

fiber optic S)'Stems, microwaves, digital signal processing. and instrumc111.mon. The Navv needs officers 

trained tn these electrical engineering subspecialtics co lead in che devdopmc111, intcgracion, and 

operation of adnnced warfare sys rems. The electricaJ engineering major is accrediced by the Engineering 

Accreditation Commission of the Accrcdiracion Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) 

and leads to a bachelor of science in elecrrical engineering. 

Electrical engineering majors apply classroom conceplS in the laborarory rhroughout rhe program. The 

Department has extensive well-equipped laboratories to provide excellent hands-on supporr for every 

course 1n the major. Dedicated laboratories supporr courses in analog and digit.ii hardware, fiber optics, 

electronics, communications, elecrro-mechanical energy conversion, and advanced electrical engineering 

project design. The Dcpanme111 places special emphasis on individual learning ac a lab siacion co ensure 

thorough undemanding of required skills, and the ceam approach co solving more open-ended, realworld design problems. Libs dre continually updaced with leading-edge rechnology. 

The dectrical engineering m.ijor culminaces in the capstone senior design laboracory sequence (EE41 I 

and EE·'l I •l), In these courses, midshipman majors must inregrace che many skills acquired in preparatory courses to be able ro design, implement, rest, and demonscrace a significant projecc. Two midshipmen 

each year are aw.irded 1he Steinmetz Prize for innovarive work in the dectrical and compurer engineering design laboratory course sequences. The Capcain Boyd R. Alexander Prize in decrrical engineering 

is presented during Commissioning \X'eek co the outstanding gradua1e 1n rhe major. 

Graduates of the electrical engineering program are well prepared for any of the many jobs they may be 

assigned in the operating forces of the Navy and Marine Corps. The major also provides an excellenr 

foundmon for continued, more specialized scudy in electrical engineering at the gr.1duate level on active 

dun· aficr commissioning al the Naval Postgraduate School or any orher academic institu1ion.

Systems Engineering Major 

:Vlany modern products, from micro\\·avc ovens. srereos and auromobilcs co spacecraft, missiles and robors, 

are a complex syscem consiscing of componenrs &om many engineering disciplines. The S)'Scems engineer 

seeks to combine and control the di,-crse componenrs in order co meec specific design specilicacions. 

The Na,·al Academy's sysccms engineering program, raced number one in the country for more than cen 

y«.>ars, is accredited by chc Accredicacion Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). It 1s an inrerdisciplinary major encompassing electronics, mechanics, auwmacic concrol. compuccrs and simulacion. An 

overall unders1anding of 1he analysis and design of complece engineering syscems, including che incerdisciplinary interlaces between systems, is che primary goal of the major. Syscems engineering is particularly 

suited to chose persons 1111crcsted in che higher level imeraccions of engineering componcncs rather chan 

che dee.tiled design of specific componcnrs. A bachelor of science in systems engineering is awarded. An 

honors progr.un wtth .1 designaced honors degree is available for selecced srndents. 

Since most modern sysrems concain auwmacic conuol functions us111g digit.ii concrol 1echn1ques, the core 

of the systems engineering major is the study of feedback concrol chcory, wich digital co111rol as a major 

element. Surroundmg this core is the interdisciplinary pan of che major, with advanced courses in digiral 

technology and microprocessors. computer interfacing and engineering, analog .ind digit.ii communicauons, an.1log .111d digital simuLuion and robotics. As a pan of the interdisciplinary concepc, portions of 

the systems engineering major may be fitllilled wich advanced courses from all other engineering disciplines as well .ts mathem.111cs, physics and computer science. 

A systl'mS cng111ecr 1s p.1rucul.1rly well prepared co operate and ma1m.1in the most sophisticated syscems 

found in tod.ir's Na')" Knowledge gained in che major is directly applicable to missile, gun, sensor, 

guid.rncc .111d propulsion systems. The systems engineering major also provides an excellent foundauon 

for postgr.1du:11e educ~aion 1n any engineering discipline.

Ara bic M ajor 

The maior in Arabic allows studems to achieve an intermediare ro advanced level of language proficiency in Modern 

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

aspects of Arabic cultures, a broad sketch of Arabic culcural history, and major currenr issues in Arab societies. Communication in speaking and writing and appropriare culrurnl interaction and idiomatic expression are emphasized at all levels. 

Students srudy the language of the media; one of the major Arabic dialects; historical, religious and political discourses; 

and literature and other culcural manifesraiions from all ages of Arabic culture and all areas of the Arab world. Fourceen 

three-credit courses are required for che major: ten mandatory language courses and four collateral courses concerning 

other aspects of rhe Arab world, two ourside che major. Summer and semester scudy abroad programs in the target 

cultures are strongly recommended fo r Arabic majors. These language and culrural enrichmenc programs allow scudents 

to apply their skills in real-world situations and provide exciting additional opporcunities for our scudents ro complete 

their degrees wirh significant experience in the Arab world. 

Studen1s emerge from the program with a working knowledge of Arabic for use in many differenc situations. They will 

also have gained an awareness of die muliiple ways in which the spoken forms of dialect Arabic vary from standard 

Arabic, and rhe imporcanc political and cultural implications oflanguage policy in the Arabic world. Finally, they will 

acquire a growing appreciacion of the achievements of Arabic cultural history and its concriburions to modern global

approach toward China (MJinland and Taiwan): irs sociery, people and language. Fourreen three-crcdir courses Jre required for the 

major: ren mandatory language courses and four collateral courses, rwo outside rhe major. One monrh of srudy abroad in China is

and strucrures char distinguish Chinese from English or other languages. and the relarionship berween language struc1ures and

Oceanography Major 

The occ111ograplw major gives fu1ure naval officers practical and theorerical knowledge of rhe ocean 

ennronmcnt and builds a sound ,1c.1dcmic foundation for fim1re graduate srndy in any technical 

discipline. An imerdisciplinary science major, oceanography i1wolves the study of meteorology, 

geophysics, phy,ics, chemistrv, biology and geology as they relate to the ocean environment. 

Basic courses 111 rhese areas are prercqu1s11es for more ad\',mced oceanography and meteorology 

courses. 'irndems take courses in sound propagarion in rhe ocean, rhe srudy of waves and tides. and 

rhe use of s.udlires in oceanography. ;\ course in advanced biological oce.mography offers .1 glimpse 

of the undersea world and irs m.mne creamres; synopric mereorolo~· courses invoke hands-on 

weather forcc.1sting experience using the Lttesr rools available. More than 25 percent of rhe required 

course load is within rhe oceanography specialry. Ocher courses include advanced ma1hematics, 

necessMy to <lesrnhe the complex beh.wior of Au id environments. A bachelor of science degree is 

aw.ir<led An honors program wi1h .1 designated honors degree is available for selecred studems.

Athletics 

Jusr as rhe Naval Academy promotes rhe professional and imellecrual developmem of 

midshipmen, so also must it fulfill irs responsibility for each midshipman's physical 

development. This is mer rhrough an inrercollegiate sports program chat is one of the 

broadesr in the nation-18 men, 11 women and three co-ed-and an equally ambitious 

inrramural and club spores program. All midshipmen are required to parricipare in rhese 

programs, either ac rhe varsiry, inrramural or club level. 

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

physically so char when rhey graduate rhey will be prepared ro successfully lead in combat. 

We wanr our furure officers robe ream builders and learn how ro morivate orhers to excel. 

We wanr rhem to compere on the athletic field and win. In order ro win, our midshipmen 

muse sec high goals for themselves and their ream and find a way w achieve rhem. Our 

hope is char by the rime rhey join rhe Fleer and Corps as junior officers, rhey will have 

learned noc only whar teamwork, determination and leadership mean-but how they 

transcend ro succeeding in combat. Developing midshipmen physically is also about 

hard work, stamina and physical and menral roughness. Aggressiveness, perseverance 

and roughness in rhe face oF adversity are qualiries we wanr our graduaces co demonstrate 

as second nature. 

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

Who in America-Rear Admiral Alan B. Shepard, rhe firsr American in space and a 

member of the heavyweight crew; Admiral Scansfield Turner, a former football lineman 

who became director of che Cencral lncelligence Agency; Admiral Arleigh Burke, 

a wrcsder who later was Chief of Naval Operations; Rear Admiral Richard Byrd, rhe 

polar explorer who captained the Navy gymnasrics ream; Fleer Admiral Chesrer Nimitz, 

also a former Navy oarsman; Fleer Admiral Bull Halsey of World War II fame, a football 

player ac the Academy; Heisman Trophy winners Joe Bellino and Roger Sraubach, and 

basketball scar David Robinson. 

Over che years, Navy reams have been successful in borh national and inrernacional 

arenas. Midshipman foorball reams have participated in the Rose, Sugar, Cotwn, 

Orange, Holiday, Libert)'• Aloha, Houston, Emerald, Poinserria, Meineke Car Care 

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

college sporrs. 

In 2008-09, Navy spores reams compiled a record of 317-154-8 (.670). 111c 317 wins 

and rhe .670 winning percentage are the best marks in school history. Navy produced 

19 All-Americans, l 0 Academic All-Americans, 13 Conference Achleres of che Year and 

won 11 dilferenr conference championships. The foorball ream posted an 8-5 record, 

won a school-record sixrh-consecurive Commander-in-Chiers Trophy and parcicipaced in 

a school-record sixth-consccurive bowl game. Navy has dominared Air Force and Army, 

winning a record 13-srraighr games againsr rhe other rwo service academies.

Intercollegiate Athletics 

The Naval Academy's inrercollegiare arhletics program is adminisrered by che Naval 

Academy Arhleric Associarion, a privare non-profir corporarion. The Association is 

charrered so that che Academy can offer incercollegiare arhlerics ar no expense ro rhe 

federal governmenr. ll1e achleric associarion arranges varsity schedules and provides 

coaching sraff and equipmenc, and funding for rhe varsiry achleric program. 

The Naval Academy is a Division I college and a member of rhe National Collegiate 

Athletic Association. lrs primary conference affiliation is wirh che Patrior League, a group 

of highly selective colleges whose morro is, "today's scholar-arhleces, mmorrow's leaders." 

Full members of che league are American, Army, Bucknell, Colgare, Holy Cross, 

L.afuyerre, Lehigh and Navy. Several sporrs, including swimming, sailing, rowing and 

gymn:i.stics have affiliarions in addition ro, or ourside rhe Patrior League. For example,

'"At the Naval Acadcmr. the achletic program is nor jusr an exrracurricular activity, ir 

is part of che mission and as such receives a prioriry much different than ar a civilian 

school. lhe athletic teams are an integral part of the overall eduauion of a total person. 

Athletics provide b1dership opporrunities and the experiences of ream play, cooperative 

effort, sporcsmanship, commicmenc and individual sacrifice for goals char some may or 

may nor be able to achieve. Athletics and competition arc a big part of every midshipman's

are committed to providing the besr possible experience for our smdenr-athletcs." 

lntramu.raJ/Club Sports Programs 

The Commandant of :-.lidshiprnen organizes an exrensi,·e incrarnural sports program char 

pits midshipman companies in athletic compecirion. These competitions a\\ard points to 

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

Company" ar the end of the academic }'ear. The games are particularly spirited and allow 

midshipmen ro compete at a level appropriate co their individual athlecic ability. Company 

teams compete in a variety of ~pons. 

In addition to the varsity and intramural athlecic programs, che Academy offers a variery of 

oppormniries to participate in a very compecirive Club Spores program. Mose players in rhis 

program are former high school athleces who desire to concinue playing a sport, or learn a 

new one, and seek rigorous competition. Alchough these reams are nor sanctioned by rhe 

NCAA, they do compete against area colleges. Club spores offered include· boxing, cycling, 

men's hockey, karate, mararhon, pistol. powerlifring, men's rugby, women's rugby, women's 

softball, women's tennis, triathlon and men's volleyball.

Academ)'· Admiral Stockdale was a man 

of unsurpassed courage and incegriry. He 

clearly understood rhe graviry of a leader's 

moment of echical decision. Consistent

facilicarion. 

lhrough research, rhe Ce11ter identifies and scudies important emerging erhical 

leadership issues. Through consulrarion, ir assists high-level leaders in tackling 

complex ethical leadership issues. Through innovation, the Cencer develops 

new ways to screngchen and accelerate ethical leadership developmenc. 111e

bod,· alterations must al,o adhere to the above stated l\.a'')' policy. Nothing in USNA policy prohibits a single 

non-elongated perforation or each c-arlobe on female applicants, candidates, NAPS students or midshipmen. 

'Tht: me or gold, platinum, or other veneers or caps for che purposes or dental ornamencarion arc prohibited. 

C.111didatcs accepting an offer of appointment will be asked to state whether any of che above conditions arc

Candidates with any skin marking which docs not conform to our policy may be denied admission unless the

their O\\ n expense). 

Othe r Disqualifying Conditions 

'iomc other disqu.1lifying conditions include: 

• unrt:paired abdominal \\all hernia 

• removal or the spleen for most reasons except trauma 

• anemia 

• abnormal bleeding states 

• diabetes mcllims 

• thyroid disorders 

• stckle cell disease (sickle cell trait and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are 

not disquali~·ing) 

• any active communicable infection 

• Hepatitis B carrier state 

• generalized reaccion to st111ging insect venom 

• family hiswry of malignant hyperthermia 

• allergy to common foods requiring special dietary considerations 

• a hisrorr of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, or alcohol dependence 

• exposure to the virus associated with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). 

A blood rest for che presence of AIDS virus (HIV) an11bod1es, an alcohol breach test, and a urine ccsc for drugs 

and pregnancy are performed on Induction Day at the Naval Academy; a confirmed positive resulc in any of 

these will lead co disqualification without possibilil) of a waiver. 

Dental Standa rds 

lxccpt for minor or questionable areas, you should have all required den cal creatmcnc completed before 

your medical examination \1issing ceech causing reduced chewing or biting cfficiencr must be replaced 

i1y well-designed bridges, partial denmrcs, or implants in good condition. If you arc undergoing active 

onhodontic treatment that will not be completed prior IO your entry inco the ~.J\'al Academy, you will automau~alh- be considered for a waiver. fhe Naval Academy Deneal Clinic provides comprehensive dental care 

for the l~rigade of .\1idshipmen. Currcnc orchodomic appliances for continued treacment are disquali~·ing. Retainer applian~es ar'· permissible. pro\'lded thac active orchodomic treatment has been satisfactorily complcied.

175 
176 

• infections or chronic diseases of the sofr tissue of the oral caviry; 

• marked malocclusion that requires early or prolonged treatment, involves tissue impingemenr 

on eirher rhe facial or lingual/palatal gingiva, or in some other way jeopardizes den cal health; 

• unsatisfacrory restorations, bridges, den cures, or implanrs; 

• severe or extensive apical or periodonral infecrion; 

• perforations from the oral caviry inr.o che nasal caviry or maxillary sinus: and 

• rumors or cysts of the oral tissues that can be expected ro require treatment in the foreseeable future. 

Concluding Comments 

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

Academy is comprehensive, and the medical/denral standards are specific and strict. ·This is necessary 

because our goal is for every midshipman robe able ro anticipate unrestricted opporruniries for commissioned 

service afrer graduarion. For most candidates, rhe physical examinarion process will require no more than a 

single visit ro the oflice of a physician and an oprometrisr. For others, questions will arise char may necessitate 

a variety of additional evaluations. 

We know this can become rime-consuming, bur we hope you will understand rhe reason for our concern. 

Questionable issues resolve favorably for rhe majority of candidates, and waiver of che standard(s) is often 

possible when documenration of a disqualifying condidon in an individual candidare supports the expectation 

of unrestricted service. Staff members at DoDMERB and in che Admissions Office will assisr in every 

way possible.
