Drop Out Plebe Candidate

Not a problem Maxf90. Ask away with any question. If I don't have the answer, I'll try to find it. You'll take between 16 to 21 credits per tri-mester. About 6 - 7 classes total. Example of what a Plebe's first Tri looks like:

History of Sea Power - 3 credit hours
Maritime Professional Studies - 4 credit hours
Chemistry - 4 credit hours
Intro to MMNR - 2 credit hours
Calc I - 3 credit hours
Swimming/First Aid - 1 credit hour

The next two tri's start to get fun. Fire Fighting, Meteorology, Aquatic Survival along with the Physics & more Calc.

The class line up will depend on your major but pretty much every Plebe takes what I listed above.

My son had 54 credit hours within the first year. You prolly won't be bored.

Max, I'm not sure of the number who DOR but there are a number of academic set-backs and disenrollments as well as medical in each class. After the first trimester for my son's class I believe there were around 30 who left the academy for various reasons mentioned above (out of 280) who started indoc. Be aware that the academic load here is very heavy and that time management and study skills are of utmost importance. Some of the kids who were top dogs in high school have found that it's very difficult to carry the academic load and other duties at KP, so, if you are not a good time manager.....learn now!

Do dismissed cadets get a cold stare from other colleges when they try to transfer?
