Students must complete Calculus prior to the start of their junior year and Calculus-based physics prior to the start of their senior year. Students who have taken Calculus or Calculus-based physics for college credit in high school, which the college has validated, must complete one additional college course in each of those areas to satisfy this requirement. College Program students are required to complete two semesters of advanced mathematics and two semesters of physical science. We encourage these students to complete calculus in their freshman year and physics in their sophomore year to enhance their competitiveness for a scholarship. The following are the required courses for all midshipmen. These courses are instructed by the Unit Staff Officers, and often must be taken in addition to a normal collegiate course load.
Students are required to maintain a Grade Point Average of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) to remain in good standing. Physical Training All students are required to maintain a minimum level of physical fitness as prescribed by the Navy and Marine Corps. There are two battalion PT sessions scheduled each week. Navy Option midshipmen are required to achieve a minimum of “Good” on the twice-annual Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA), which includes two separate portions; height and weight standards (body composition assessment) and the physical portion consisting of a toe touch, curl-ups, push-ups, and a 1.5 mile run. Students who achieve less than the minimum score will be placed on the Remedial Physical Training Program, which meets one additional day each week. The official PFA is taken near the end of each semester, usually in November and April. An inventory PFA is taken every semester in September and in February to provide another benchmark.
The PFA requirements are included below and give your son or daughter a goal to train towards prior to Freshman Orientation. These are the minimum standards from the fleet and our expectation is that a midshipmen score higher. Scoring “Excellent” is the norm. Marine Option midshipmen are required to participate in Marine Option physical training in addition to Battalion physical training. They take a twice-annual Physical Fitness Test that includes a 3 mile run, pull-ups and sit-ups. A Pre-Entry Physical Training Plan can be downloaded from the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps website to assist in preparing your student for Freshmen Orientation and to start on the path to a healthy fitness lifestyle.
Swimming Requirements Navy Physical Fitness also includes swimming proficiency. There are three swimming qualification levels. The 3rd Class test will be administered during Freshmen Orientation, and includes a jump from a 10 foot platform, five minutes of survival treading water, a 50 yard swim using any of four basic survival strokes, and survival floatation skills using uniform items. All midshipmen are required to qualify as 3rd Class Swimmers prior to summer training before their sophomore year. Weak or non- proficient swimmers should consider formal swim instruction prior to Freshmen Orientation.
