Thank you for your interest in the Department of Physical Education (DPE). This website will provide you with general information concerning the application process, graduate school, and teaching at West Point. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us:

Contact MAJ Julia Wilson, Recruiting Officer for DPE, at (845) 938-7832 DSN 688-7832, or E-MAIL MAJ Wilson

Because Army officers are required to maintain the highest standards of physical readiness, individual responsibility for physical fitness is essential.  The physical development process at West Point takes into account the psychological, motivational, and emotional aspects of total fitness.  Thus, competitive, highly demanding physical activities such as those presented in the USMA Physical Program ensure cadets are prepared to meet the rigors of their profession.  The information provided here is designed to give you a feel for what being an instructor in DPE is all about.  If you believe you would enjoy the challenge of educating, training, and inspiring America’s future leaders, please submit your application.

Again, thank you for your interest and good luck!
