Hi. I'm currently a Sophomore in High School. My GPA is 4.0, I have all Honors or AP Classes. I hold two school records for swimming and am in the top 5% of my class. I've dreamed of becoming a US Marine officer since I was a little kid and I'd like to go to the academy. However I would like to get a degree in law. Do they offer law degree's in the US Naval Academy?

Congratulations on what you have done so far. You seem like just the sort of candidate the Naval Academy is looking for in an applicant. A law degree (to be a lawyer) in the United States is a graduate level degree. You first need a bachelor's, which is what you would earn at the USNA. You could study just about any humanities field like history, political science or international relations, and easily go on to law school afterwards. If you are a Marine officer, it is likely that they will send you to law school so that you could be in the JAG (military justice) system.
USNA offers a great summer program for high school students. It might not be a bad idea to check this out, not just to help your application, but also to see if this really is right for you.
Good luck!

A law degree in the US is a grad school degree. You need to finish undergrad first. The US Naval Academy is a fine institution. It will prepare you very well for the rigors of law school. My class had someone from West Point. A JAG position is highly coveted.

Your question is quite disrespectful to those adult men and lady putting their lives on the line so that you'll stay in a free u . s ..if you worry about psychological harm--then i'd assume that you've been an recommend of parity guidelines? and that i'd assume that you're also conscious that statistcally 80 p.c. of anybody conflict through from some type of psychological issue ( regularly melancholy) in some unspecified time sooner or later in ther lives. Your submit makes the concept all POW's conflict through from some ailment--that is not any longer the case.It also means that even those who've suffered make no tries to seek counseling and/or drugs. Your submit assumes lots..you need to have a brilliant immagination.
