United States Military Academy at West Point
The United States Military Academy (USMA), usually known as West Point or just the Army, is a four-year United States service academy located in West Point, New York. It was built as a fort because it is on important high land overlooking the Hudson River with a magnificent outlook, 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of New York City. It is the oldest of the five American service academies, and it prepares cadets for commissioning in the United States Army.
The academy was established in 1802, one year after President Thomas Jefferson instructed that plans for its establishment be initiated. The entire central campus is a national landmark, with numerous historic structures, buildings, and monuments. The majority of the Norman-style structures on campus are made of gray and black granite. The campus is a famous tourist destination, complete with a visitor center and the United States Army's oldest museum.
West Point is a medium-sized, highly residential baccalaureate college with a full-time, four-year undergraduate program that focuses on education in the arts, sciences, and professions with no graduate program. Foreign languages, management information systems, history, economics, and mechanical engineering are among the forty-five academic majors available.
