All Plebes take the same courses.
During this first year, your Mid will be required to attend Majors Briefings to get an overview of what courses of study are available. By the end of Plebe year, he or she will have selected a major and been assigned an advisor who will counsel your Mid and track his or her progress, making certain that all graduation requirements are being met. Your Mid will be asked to sign a form authorizing the Academy to send his or her grades home. If he or she does not sign the form, you will not receive grades in the mail. At the end of the year, Plebes will participate in Sea Trials, a day-long exercise designed to put to the test everything Plebes have learned during the year academically, mentally, and physically.
