The VMI Academic Program offers cadets a rigorous curriculum with the purpose of producing educated and internationally engaged citizens of character. Its components are a broad four-year core curriculum and nationally recognized majors in engineering, science, and humanities. It recruits, develops, and graduates cadets of exceptional talent, intellectual curiosity, and character, who possess a commitment to service and
respect for others . Its faculty is renowned for its teaching excellence, mentorship of students, scholarly engagement, commitment to service, and encouragement of undergraduate research. Its environment includes state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, technologies, and instructional materials, first-class programs of academic support, and an organizational climate characterized by collegiality, cooperation, and
respect.
Honor Court
The hallmark of a VMI education is the Honor System. It states that a cadet will not lie cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do. The Honor System is operated and enforced by cadets. Every member of the VMI community is responsible for reporting breaches of the Honor Code to the Honor Court, in which student prosecutors investigate each offense. If the evidence supports the accusation, the Honor Court tries the accused, with the President of the Court presiding and a randomly selected panel of cadets acting as a jury. The accused cadet is permitted counsel of his choice. If the accused is found guilty by the Honor Court, there is only one penalty – dismissal from the Institute. The recommendation of the Honor Court for dismissal of a cadet for a proven breach of the Code is reviewed, approved and executed by the Superintendent.
