<p>A complex question. Historically, there were quotas that were strictly enforced. Then things eased up. Now, there is a move to get USNA to a 65/35 balance between engineering and science majors vs. “humanities” majors. USNA is looking for ways to “incentivize” mids who have the aptitude for a technical major to choose one. The reason is that the USN needs technical majors and the USMC doesn’t care what your major is. However, since 75-80% of grads go into the USN, USNA needs to produce a lot of technical majors.</p>
<p>Thus, you should be able to pick your major – that’s the way it usually works. However, there are no guarantees in the military.</p>
