Welcome to the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. Few colleges and universities provide an environment renowned both for academic excellence and the development of leaders. Fewer still combine that environment with rigorous professional training that prepares students for meaningful careers in selfless service to others. The Academy offers all of these qualities and much more.

To meet the professional needs of the United States Coast Guard of educating fleet-ready officers, the program at the Academy is more demanding than non-military colleges. On our waterfront campus and on the seas, we transform young men and women to serve with skill, commitment and character.

Our graduates go directly to positions of leadership as members of one of the most adventurous and rewarding organizations in the world.
