Does the United States Naval Academy Admissions Board Evaluate an Applicant's Moral Values. If So, How

摘要

If moral character is an important trait for an officer, one would assume that the United States Naval Academy would admit only those who possess the highest moral values and the potential for further development. This study explored that assumption. Through the literature review, this study examined the Admission Board's charter, each step of the admissions process and the practice used for evaluating an applicant's moral values. The study considered what impact the espoused values of the Naval Academy had on the Admissions Board members and their determinations with regard to applicants.
