United States Naval Academy

Annapolis, MD

The Naval Academy says the "curriculum blends professional subjects with required and elective courses similar to those offered at leading civilian colleges. Our curriculum has three basic elements: core requirements in engineering, natural science, the humanities and social sciences, to assure that graduates are able to think, solve problems and express conclusions clearly; core academic courses and practical training to teach the professional and leadership skills required of Navy and Marine Corps officers; and an academic major in a subject chosen by midshipmen to develop their individual interests and talents."
