I'm curious about the Coast Guard Academy's student body size. Does anyone know how many cadets are currently enrolled? I'm trying to get a sense of the community and class sizes there.
The U.S. Coast Guard Academy typically enrolls around 1,000 cadets in total across all four years, making it one of the smaller service academies. This creates a tight-knit community and allows for smaller class sizes, often resulting in a student-to-faculty ratio of around 8-to-1.
The number can slightly vary from year to year depending on the size of the incoming class and attrition rates, but it tends to stay around the 1,000 mark. Be sure to confirm these numbers with the official Coast Guard Academy website or admissions office as stats can change from one year to the next.
