About
Located along the Chesapeake Bay, the United States Naval Academy is a prestigious federal service academy dedicated to developing future leaders as commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The Academy provides a rigorous, fully funded education leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, with premier programs in aerospace engineering, naval architecture, cyber operations, and oceanography. Student life revolves around the historic "Yard," where Midshipmen adhere to strict military discipline, intensive physical fitness requirements, and a shared Honor Concept within a deeply bonded Brigade culture. In exchange for a post-graduation military service commitment, midshipmen receive complete coverage of tuition, room, and board, enriched by operational summer training deployments on naval vessels around the globe.
Wikipedia:The United States Naval Academy is a federal service academy adjacent to Annapolis, Maryland. It was established on 10 October 1845 during the tenure of George Bancroft as Secretary of the Navy. The Naval Academy is the second oldest of the five U.S. service academies and it educates midshipmen for service in the officer corps of the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. It is part of the Naval University System. The 338-acre (137 ha) campus is located on the former grounds of Fort Severn at the confluence of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County, 33 miles (53 km) east of Washington, D.C., and 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Baltimore. The entire campus, known colloquially as the Yard, is a National Historic Landmark and home to many historic sites, buildings, and monuments. It replaced Philadelphia Naval Asylum in Philadelphia that had served as the first United States Naval Academy from 1838 to 1845, at which time the Naval Academy formed in Annapolis.
