Best Answer

The Air Force Academy is not a private college because it is fully Federally owned and operated. However, it does not quite fit the description of a public college, as it is operated by the federal government instead of that of a state and its national selection allows it to be highly selective in admissions, even more so than many private colleges. It falls into a unique category, that of Federal Service Academies.

The United States government operates all of the following as Federal Service Academies: The United States Air Force Academy, The United States Military Academy, The United States Naval Academy, The United States Coast Guard Academy, and the United States Merchant Marine Academy.
