The Academy has a proud tradition of academic excellence - small class sizes, a
dedicated faculty that emphasizes teaching, and first-rate facilities - that attracts
some of the brightest young people in the nation. These cherished traditions will continue. The breadth and rigor of academic knowledge focused on the military profession is now greater than ever.
Despite the Academy's great academic program, learning paradigms are rapidly changing, and technological advancements can make the most advanced capabilities obsolete in a short time. Meeting these challenges requires the Academy to continually take advantage of emerging technologies and have the facilities and programs in place to attract top students and world-class professors.
The classroom is the center of a cadet's four-year journey of learning. Academics
provide an opportunity to not only learn but also to question. The academic
environment allows cadets to engage in an open dialogue with instructors. This
interaction develops a cadet's critical thinking skills and ability to reason through
complex problems. It exposes each cadet to different philosophies and points of
view. These experiences will make them better officers and leaders when they enter
the Air Force.
A primary goal of the campaign is to secure $20 million for Academic priorities.
