Math and science didn't become a major part of their cirriculum until the 1850's. Of West Point's first two graduates, one was a Christian, and the other a Jew. In the remaining battles, a West Point graduate commanded on one of the two sides. Prior to 1964, the number was 2,529. Even though cadets can major in such subjects as diverse as English, History, or Political Science, every graduating cadet receives a Bachelor of Science degree.
Many people assume West Point teaches the 'art of war'.
It does not. It's main cirriculum is in the sciences and humanities. If you want to become a general, leading thousands of troops in battle, you first have to go to command school, and then the U.S. Army War College. West Point is not just a campus, or a military post - it's actually a military reservation. The Corp of Cadets has representatives from every state in the union, most U.S. possessions, and several foreign countries.
