What is the typical naval academy graduation rate?

I'm considering applying to the Naval Academy and am curious about the graduation rate. Does anyone know what percentage of students graduate? I'd love to hear about any personal experiences or insights into the support systems in place.

The U.S. Naval Academy's graduation rate is typically quite high. According to the latest data, about 89% of students graduate. This high percentage is due to a combination of factors. Firstly, the selection to get into any of the service academies is rigorous, meaning the students enrolled are highly motivated and committed to completing the program.

Furthermore, the Naval Academy does a great job of providing resources and support to cadets. There are resources in place for academic support, leadership development, character development, and physical fitness. It's also worth noting, that the camaraderie and peer support among cadets often play a big role in helping them complete their program.

One unique aspect of attending a service academy is that you're held to strict requirements since you're in the military. This accountability adds another layer of incentive to graduate. Bear in mind, however, that upon graduation you will have a service obligation to fulfill which is typically 5 years of active duty.

Overall, if you're considering the Naval Academy, take a thorough look at the expectations, potential lifestyle, and requirements for graduation. This will help you assess if this challenging, but rewarding, path is right for you.
