Posted by strengthandhonor on Tuesday January 13, 2009 at 5:12 PMThe United States Military Academy at West Point is first and foremost a liberal arts college. It is currently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as the 14th best liberal arts college in the nation, and was recently ranked the 6th Top College in the United States by Forbes. West Point ensures that regardless of the major selected, every cadet will receive a well rounded liberal arts degree (a B.S. in Science) in order to best prepare a cadet for the role of a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army.
That being said, West Point is renowned for its many top programs in engineering. Named to U.S. New's top 5 engineering schools that offer a bachelor's and master's degree, West Point offers degrees in civil, mechanical, chemical, environmental, nuclear, electrical, and systems engineering just to name a few.
Although the engineering programs at West Point seem to be widely emphasized in the academic world, other majors such as chemistry, history, law, American politics, physics, as well as the life sciences program which prepares a cadet for the rigors of medical school upon graduation from West Point.
