Academy Experience Program
The Academy Experience Program (AEP) is for admitted students, wait listed students, and their parents or guardians. Whether you are still deciding what college to attend, or are ready to “hit the deck running” as a new swab, AEP offers the information you need for the next big step.
Highlights
- Meet your future classmates
- Prepare for Swab Summer
- Meet faculty and explore majors

- Discover the support resources available
Format and Dates
AEP is an overnight visit that starts at 08:45 AM ET and ends at 1130 AM the next day. Students pair with a cadet host while parents enjoy their own program before reuniting for a wrap up Q&A session on the second day.
