Miller Academic Center
The MAC facilitates cadets’ academic success and timely progress toward a degree. Numerous opportunities are available for cadets to receive additional support with coursework.
Group Study Sessions
These sessions are an excellent way to practice and process the material covered in class and while studying. While it is important to prepare for the sessions by attending class and studying the course materials, the sessions can be an opportunity to challenge and reinforce learning.
