Commodore Matthew Perry helped develop the first curriculum, which included three years of training “at sea” and two years (the first and last) at the actual school.

US News & World Report currently ranks it as the #1 Public Liberal Arts College in the nation, tied for first with the Army’s Military Academy at West Point.
