There are eight federal academies run by the United States government.
Five are military academies:
- United States Military Academy, also known as "West Point" and "Army", founded 1802
- United States Naval Academy, also known as "Annapolis" and "Navy", founded 1845
- United States Coast Guard Academy, founded 1876
- United States Merchant Marine Academy, founded 1942
- United States Air Force Academy, founded 1954
One academy can be loosely classified as a military academy, but does not entirely function as such:
- Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, founded 1972
There are two civilian academies:
- FBI Academy, founded 1972
- National Mine Health and Safety Academy, founded 1971
