Cadets have to take military science classes the first four semesters.
If they are interested in a military career, cadets have to pursue a military commission. Again, the cadet must apply for a military scholarship. Being a member of the Corps of Cadets is demanding. Cadets not only have to due well academically, they must master the Corps leadership program. Each Corps outfit has an Academic Advisor and the Commandants Office has an Academic Counselor for the cadets.
