As a second class or first class cadet you'll lead underclass cadets in summer training. The academic program is the major ingredient for career preparation. The Academy's faculty is composed primarily of Air Force officers, but the number of civilian professors is increasing. A few officers from other branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and allied nations, and distinguished civilian visiting professors supplement the faculty. The Academy's academic facilities are among the best.
Small classes encourage close interaction between instructors and students.
Well-equipped laboratories support classes in language, science and engineering. You'll use a microcomputer in your dormitory room. The local area network that connects dorm rooms, faculty and staff offices, classrooms and laboratories, provides numerous educational services. The Academy library has more than a half-million volumes to serve the academic needs of the faculty and cadets. We're also proud of our collection of historical aeronautical materials.
