The Foreign Academy Exchange Program (FAEP) offers a great opportunity for cadets to improve their firsthand knowledge of language and culture. A cadet's level of language proficiency will directly influence their selection. Most recent exchanges have been to countries whose languages are taught at USMA. FAEP visits are scheduled during spring break and are fully funded. Ordinarily, USMA cadets travel and visit cadets abroad in March, and then host those foreign cadets at West Point in April.
