Prior Service
Prior Service CCs fall within the age range of seventeen to twenty-two, who have already served in the Army as enlisted soldiers. Prior Service can go direct admit (straight into West Point) but many choose to take an extra year to review high school academic skills. Only math and English are taught at the Prep School. CCs are given a chance to take a voluntary science refresher course during their summer leave prior to entering West Point.
