Professor Wright, Captain, U.S. Navy, Chair; Visiting Assistant Professor Connor, Lieutenant, U.S. Navy, Director
of Undergraduate Studies; Visiting Associate Professor Spano, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps; Visiting

Neither a major nor minor is available in this program
Courses in naval science are open to all students. A scholarship program is available for students in the
department who commit to commissioning into service as an officer in the United States Navy or Marine Corps.
The Department of Naval Science offers students an opportunity to gain a broad-based knowledge in maritime
security, strategy, and leadership. This understanding is derived from the study of: maritime and military history;
current naval operations, ship systems, practices and evolutions used on sea-going vessels around the world today;
United States’ national strategic goals and operations that accomplish these goals; and the leadership and
management skills required to accomplish these missions.
The program draws upon the expertise of visiting professors, all of whom are active duty naval officers as well
as subject matter experts in current naval operations, offering a wide range of backgrounds in surface, undersea, air,
and land warfare.
