The United States Naval Academy occupies a 338-acre campus along the Severn River in Annapolis, Maryland, situated 30 miles from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Established in 1845, this federal service academy is distinguished by its Beaux-Arts architecture, including the iconic Chapel dome and Bancroft Hall, the largest dormitory complex in the United States. The Academy prepares midshipmen for service as commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps through a rigorous academic program focused on engineering, science, and leadership development. All midshipmen live on campus in Bancroft Hall, participate in mandatory military training, and follow a structured daily schedule that includes athletics and professional development. The institution maintains highly selective admission standards, requiring both academic excellence and a congressional nomination, while offering majors ranging from naval architecture and ocean engineering to cyber operations.
