Frequently Asked Questions
Can cadets take elective courses?
Many electives are offered, and cadets who receive transfer or validation credit may substitute electives for those particular courses. Cadets with a prescribed Grade Point Average (GPA) may also overload during most semesters, allowing them to take other non-prescribed courses. Every cadet, however, must remain at the Academy for four years, no matter how many extra course credits are earned. Every cadet, also, must take a certain number of classes each semester. They'll usually take six academic courses per semester (except for fourth-class cadets who only take five courses their first semester).
