Hey everyone, I'm a USNA 2026 appointee. I know that USNA does not have a biology major, but I am wondering if anyone knows about the biochemistry major that they are working on.
I would like to study biology (I am also interested in other majors at USNA, so it's not a completely definitive factor for me, but something to consider), but I know that this is pretty limited at the academy. I have heard that they have different biology classes so I am curious about what options they might have for a midshipman looking for a biology niche.
I also am interested in medical school, which I also know is extremely competitive and also limited at the Academy. Would a midshipman be able to graduate, commission, and then try to go to medical school after a year or two working as a Naval Officer? Do they have other options other than the typical ~12 slots for medical school?
Thank you!!
