The Department of Naval Science offers several programs of instruction for men and women leading to commissions in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps.
Navy: Navy option students complete a course of instruction tailored toward a career in the professional communities in the Navy, including Surface Warfare (conventional and nuclear power), Submarine Warfare (nuclear power), Aviation, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, and SEAL. All Navy option scholarship students must complete the required calculus and calculus-based physics courses by the end of their sophomore and junior years, respectively, in addition to a full regimen of naval science courses.
