When the hell did The Point begin to offer a Sociology major? My God, how far we have fallen.
Decades ago - technically I think they call it "Behavioral Science". But, like all degrees at West Point, it's a BS, not a BA. You still have to complete core academic requirements that are math and science intensive. The Naval & Air Force Academies are the same, I believe.
It's not a secret, however, that all the Academies lowered their academic & and physical rigor and demand when they started letting women in, and started heavily recruiting minorities to satisfy affirmative action goals. That's not racist or sexist, it's just the practical reality.
I believe the cadets carry what would be called “double majors”. They all must take the required engineering curriculum, but can carry another major also.
Some semesters they are taking as many as 7 academic courses, in addition to the military courses they are required to take. It is one tough load.
I noticed that too...pathetic.
