Academic Requirements

When you arrive at the Tulane University, you will be required to take a course load comparable to most full-time college students. These courses vary from student to student depending on your academic major; however, your college education will be augmented with Naval Science courses that will prepare you for all aspects of Navy and Marine Corps life.

Academic requirements are broken up into two categories: Naval science requirements, and Non-Naval Science requirements. Naval science courses build moral integrity, hone leadership skills, and prepare midshipmen with knowledge that will aid them in their naval careers. The Non-Naval Science requirements continue to challenge and develop the midshipmen into well-rounded officers in the United States Navy or Marine Corps.

Naval Science Course Descriptions

Non-Naval Science Requirements

Unless enrolled in a nursing curriculum, Navy option scholarship midshipmen must complete courses in calculus (MATH 121 or 115 and 116 and MATH 122 at Tulane) and physics (PHYS 131 and PHYS 132 at Tulane) as well as classes in English, world culture or religion, and American military history or national security policy.

Both semesters of calculus must be completed by the end of your sophomore year and both semesters of physics must be completed by the end of your junior year. The calculus and physics requirements do not apply to Nursing majors and Marine Options.
