The program is open, however, to Weber State students who are freshmen or sophomores so long as they are within the age limitations. Students requiring more than four years to earn their degree are granted a leave of absence, equivalent to the excess over four years. Upon completion of the Naval Science curriculum and the awarding of a college degree, the graduate is commissioned in the Regular Navy or Marine Corps and serves on active duty for a period of not less than four years. Two-Year Scholarship Program Similar to the program above, but only two years in length. Application for the two-year scholarship must be made by April of the sophomore year.
Selection is on a national scale.
Applicants must have completed at least two semesters of calculus and at least one semester of physics by the end of the sophomore year. You may apply at the Naval Science Department or at the Navy Recruiting Office. Admission is obtained through application at the University Department of Naval Science. Selection is made on the basis of the predicted grade point average and an interview with two or more assistant professors in the Department of Naval Science. Final acceptance is contingent on meeting the mental, physical, and aptitude requirements.
