February 16, 2015 10:16 PM

The U.S. Coast Guard runs an International Cadet Program (ICP), which confers a four-year Bachelor of Science degree. It is soliciting applications for its 2015 Academic Year via the U.S. Embassy at Port-au-Prince. The Coast Guard Academy (CGA) offers a program in military and leadership training, its curriculum stressing math, science, and engineering courses. Because all classes are taught in English candidates applying to the program must be English proficient.

Eight majors compose the ICP: Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering; Operations Research; Marine and Environmental Sciences; Government; Mechanical Engineering; and Management. Cadets will also learn about navigation, law enforcement, and spend summers on general shipboard and aviation training. During their time at ICP cadets will be required to follow CGA regulations. After earning their degrees candidates are eligible to serve in the Haitian National Police, even the Garde Cote.

Requirements follow:

• Be 17 years old but under 23
• Pass the SAT or ACT
• Pass the TOEFL and ITP or 90iBT language assessment tests
• Have no children or dependents
• Not be married

Tuition at CGA runs about $97,000 per year, but scholarships are awarded to selected candidates.

The Ministry of Justice and Public Security must endorse candidates' applications after all tests and interviews have been completed.
