U.S. Navy Senior Enlisted Academy

U.S. Navy Senior Enlisted Academy The SEA is the Navy's only professional military education institute for our senior enlisted force. This is a violation of privacy.
(239)

The Senior Enlisted Academy (SEA) provides senior enlisted leaders education in communication skills, leadership and management, national security affairs, Navy programs and physical fitness. Of the 1,200 students in attendance annually, the majority are active duty Navy personnel. Navy Reserve, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and international service members make up the remainder of

the student population. The SEA has been successful in preparing senior enlisted leaders for positions of greater responsibilities for many years. As a result of that success, graduation is now a requirement before assuming the positions of command master chief or chief of the boat. The curriculum is a six-week blended course of instruction comprised of three weeks of distance learning and three weeks of in-residence instruction.
