Professional Electives
The requirement for professional electives must be satisfied by a minimum of two, approved three-credit elective
courses at the 300, 400, or 500 level in engineering and two, approved three-credit courses in Ocean
Engineering. The approval of professional electives can normally be performed by your advisor.
NOTE: If you want to feel what being a submarine officer is all about, when you attend your classes, interview
with professors, participate in discussion groups or do anything else related to gaining or expressing a critical
understanding of your chosen profession, try sitting in a thee legged chair, or standing on one leg and rubbing
your belly while you discuss the topic at hand. Or imagine being in an interview of extreme importance to your
career with you on the dark side of a closet door and the man with the key to your future conducting the
interview on the other side, while, you are still seated in that three legged chair. Oh, I almost forgot, one mistake
and you could be out of consideration for the program. (See ADM Hyman Rickover, USN) How mentally tough are
you? :-)

So, you're thinking of becoming a submarine force officer: This information
should give you a base to jump off from. And just think, once you finish
school you get to really study, train and work around the clock on very little
sleep, in a hazardous environment with important aspects of the mission
and ship's safety in your hands. Think you have what it takes to become a
leader in today's submarine navy? Then join the elite of the fleet and prove it.
