Academics
GRADES
Academics are our outfits number one priority. Our outfit placed 8th overall in the Corps for grades in the Spring 2010 semester, and placed 1st amongst all of the technical outfits in the Corps. We stress grades so much in our outfit because we know that in order for a cadet to take on more responsibility, they must first learn to handle the new level of education they are receiving. Simply put, if you can't make grades, then you can't stay in the university, and you need not apply here.
MAJORS
Among the cadets in our outfit we have a wide variety of different majors. This benefits you as a future cadet by almost guaranteeing that we will have someone in our outfit who has already taken the classes that you will be taking, and they will also be able to give you personal assistance if you struggle or need more help in any way in these challenging classes.
Here is a list of the number of cadets in our outfit that currently have the following majors:
