Frequently Asked Questions
Do all cadets take the same classes?
The Academy requires all cadets to take a core academic curriculum. This core curriculum covers a broad spectrum of classes in humanities, social sciences, engineering, and basic sciences. This core load makes up 109 semester hours of the academic program and is the foundation for a cadet's future service as an officer in the Air Force. Cadets then receive further specialization in one of 30 Academy majors currently offered.
