More Than A Degree. A Life Experience.
The Coast Guard Academy. Your Leadership Laboratory. The Coast Guard Academy is distinct from the larger peer institutions for the Army, Navy and Air Force. Coast Guard Cadets prepare for leadership roles in America’s only armed service dedicated solely to protecting our citizens, economy, environment, and homeland.

Coast Guard cadets study science, mathematics, technology, nautical science, and liberal arts, and then choose a major from 13 programs in Engineering, Applied Math, Information Systems, Marine and Environmental Science, Government, and more.

If you want more than a degree, the Coast Guard Academy provides a life experience that transforms you into a leader of character in service to your country and humanity.
