It consists of 30 courses in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, aeronautical engineering, astronautical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, engineering mechanics, behavioral sciences, economics, law, management, political science, English, foreign languages, history and philosophy. Most of your classes the first two years will be required courses. During your last two years you'll have a wide choice of electives. Academic work is graded through exams, homework, and class participation. A progress grade report is published at midsemester and a final grade report is issued at the end of the semester.
Instructors readily provide extra instruction.
Summer school is held for cadets who are academically deficient or who wish to take certain classes. Every cadet can successfully complete the academic program. Those who do may take honors versions of the core courses, as well as electives in their major or other subject areas. Cadets who take in-depth courses build an excellent foundation for further graduate studies. Before spring break of your third class year, you may select an academic major or choose the basic academic program which provides a bachelor of science degree.
