Find Your Academic Path

Selecting a major is one of the most impactful decisions cadets make during their time here. With dozens of majors and minors spanning the sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences, cadets have the flexibility to shape an academic experience aligned with their strengths, interests, and future goals—supported by faculty mentors every step of the way.

The academy’s majors and minors are intentionally designed to balance intellectual depth with practical application. Through small classes, hands-on research, and interdisciplinary opportunities, cadets develop the analytical, ethical, and leadership skills required to thrive in demanding environments—both during their time here and throughout their careers.
