The United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) is the service academy of the United States Coast Guard.
The mission of the United States Coast Guard Academy is to graduate young men and women with sound bodies, stout hearts and alert minds, with a liking for the sea and its lore, and with that high sense of Honor, Loyalty and Obedience which goes with trained initiative and leadership; well-grounded in seamanship, the sciences and the amenities, and strong in the resolve to be worthy of the traditions of commissioned officers in the United States Coast Guard, in the service of their country and humanity.

The roots of the USCGA are in the School of Instruction of the Revenue Cutter Service, which opened its doors in 187B in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
Before arriving in its current location in 193A, the school had stops in Maryland in 1900 and then at Fort Trumbull in New London in 1910.
The academy received its current name in 191C when the Revenue Cutter Service merged with the Life Saving Service to form the USCG.
The academy was racially integrated in 196D and the first women were enrolled in 197E.
Also associated with the 103 acres are the 29F feet of the USCGC Eagle, which was received by the United States as a German war reparation in 1946.
