USNA Core Curriculum:


The Naval Academy's 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.
