• The Corps ended the year with an 82% retention rate, improving by 11% over the previous academic year.

• The class of 2026 was 19% female at the beginning of the Spring 2023 semester.

• 21% of our cadets were from out of state.

• 3,708 scholarships were awarded to cadets, totaling $11,189,901 for the 2022-2023 academic year.

• The Corps accumulated 12,419 total community service hours for the 2022-2023 academic year.

The March to 3,000 initiative supports the Corps’ efforts to grow our membership, while retaining current cadets at a higher rate. We continue to focus on recruiting high-quality young men and women.

Academics

The Corps continued to see academic success in the spring of 2023. The organization posted a spring 2023 term overall GPA of 3.22 - the highest on record for the Corps! 72% of students in the Corps posted a 3.0 or higher, with 274 individuals posting a 4.0.

The class of 2023 is the 9th consecutive class to finish their time in the Corps with a term and cumulative GPA above a 3.0 . They posted the highest spring senior class GPA on record with a 3.26.

This year, we increased academic support efforts sponsored by the Office of the Commandant, and worked closely with the colleges to help our cadets succeed academically. The Corps of Cadets now upholds a reputation of academic excellence among the faculty and administration – something that is critical to the overall success of our Corps at Texas A&M.
