Founded in 1845 by the Secretary of the Navy, The U.S. Naval Academy provides young men and women the academic and professional training needed to be effective naval and marine officers in their assignments after graduation. Our bus departs Davidge Hall promptly at 9:00 am and delivers you to the campus in Annapolis where you will be met by our tour guide—an actor portraying John Paul Jones, father of the Navy. The 60-minute tour begins at the visitor center (and gift shop) and includes a stop at the Jones crypt in the main chapel.

A new BioPark, Health Sciences Facility II, completion of the $500 million expansion of the hospital, and new buildings for the library, law school, dental school, and nursing school are among the additions to campus over the past decade. Our tour will corroborate recent claims that University of Maryland Baltimore has become one of the country’s finest health sciences institutions. Our final stop on the tour is the new Campus Center. The tour begins and ends at Davidge Hall.
