The Junior Line Officer Advanced Educational Program, known as the Burke Program, was established in 1959
to provide a highly select group of graduates of the Naval Academy and Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps
(NROTC) with graduate education in science and engineering fields. Selectees are expected to have high
career motivation for the Naval service and have demonstrated outstanding leadership potential by their
service within the Brigade of Midshipmen. Following graduation from the Naval Academy, all Navy Burke
selectees will establish their warfare specialties during an initial operational tour of 30 to 36 months.
Burke Program officers demonstrating superior academic capability and potential while pursuing a master’s
degree and continued outstanding professional performance may apply to resume studies for a Ph.D. degree.
