Is the US Naval Academy accredited?

Can someone provide information on the accreditation status of the US Naval Academy? I'm interested in how their academic credentials are recognized.

Yes, the United States Naval Academy (USNA) is fully accredited. It's accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), which is one of six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the United States Department of Education.

Regional accreditation is considered the highest form of accreditation and it ensures that the education provided by the institution is of a certain standard. It also enables you to transfer credits from one accredited institution to another and have your academic qualifications recognized by employers and by graduate schools.

Furthermore, specific programs within the USNA, such as Engineering and Computer Science, have their program-specific accreditation. For instance, the Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

So, rest assured, a degree from the US Naval Academy is widely recognized and respected.
