Welcome to the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) at Norfolk! We are located on the Naval Base Norfolk.

With its sparkling downtown waterfront, tall glimmering buildings and storied maritime heritage, Norfolk, Virginia stands today as the Mid-Atlantic region's most dynamic and progressive cultural center.

World-class museums, galleries, intimate performing arts halls and scores of other attractions dot the city's pedestrian-friendly downtown waterfront, while the white sandy beaches of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean lie just minutes away.

In fact, this old seaport in the heart of the Virginia Waterfront is experiencing a rebirth so vibrant, the New York Times declared Norfolk a "cultural center of note, " while Money Magazine dubbed it "The South's #1 big city to live in.
