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.
