The United States Air Force Academy
You can go to college anywhere. But if you’re like the individuals that come
to the U.S. Air Force Academy, you’re searching for something more – knowledge.
It’s something greater than the knowledge that comes with a degree, or
even a world-class education. It is a knowledge born of confidence, experience
and integrity – confidence that comes with surpassing your personal best;
experience in seeing your leadership help others rise above their fears;
and the integrity that lies deep in the heart of every Air Force officer.
Our graduates leave here with the knowledge that they have just accomplished
something few men or women are brave enough to attempt. And if you ask
any one of them, they'll tell you – knowledge is power. Discover it yourself.
Academics
At the U.S. Air Force Academy, we’re in the business of building leaders.
It’s a lofty goal that can only be achieved with the right tools – and
few tools are more powerful than a well-rounded education.
The Academy is home to state-of-the-art facilities, 30 different academic
majors and the highest standards. We strive for excellence in education
every day, offering the quality curriculum that can only be found at the
highest level.
Through hands-on experience and the guidance of their professors, our
cadets are preparing for exciting careers as Air Force officers. While
the demands are rigorous, the rewards are obvious. Every cadet can succeed.
And most will excel.
Athletics
The U.S. Air Force Academy wasn’t named "most athletic school in the country"
by Sports Illustrated without reason. Athletics aren’t just entertainment,
here – they’re a requirement. Every cadet takes two physical education
courses each semester and is required to participate in either intercollegiate
or intramural sports. With over 40 different athletic teams available,
the Academy has a sport for everyone.
There is a powerful team spirit that sustains everyone at the Academy
and it’s due, in part, to our mandatory athletics program. By playing
together, our cadets learn to work together as a team – they learn to
trust and to be leaders.
Ultimately, athletic participation instills in our cadets a sense of initiative,
self-confidence and the knowledge that they are part of something greater
than themselves.
