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 nonprescribed courses. Every cadet, however, must remain at the Academy for four years, no matter how many extra course credits are earned. Every cadet must also take a certain number of classes each semester – usually six academic courses (except for Fourth-Class cadets who only take five courses their first semester).
