The Academy is divided into two sections; the ''First Academy'' (which provides primary- and secondary-level educational studies to cadets between the ages of twelve to nineteen) and the ''Elite Academy'' (which is a fully-accredited collegiate-level institution). The USAES Corps of Cadets is comprised of approximately 2,000 individuals: The First Academy has between 650-800 (each year, 100 standard cadets are accepted, as well as up to 150 'civilian trainees' who are subject to the same standards and studies as standard cadets; in addition, there may be cadets who have been held back for a number of reasons) while the Elite Academy accepts up to 1,200 cadets per year (as well as the 100-plus Cadets Third Class, who are not on campus due to being engaged in their 'internship year' advanced studies).
 
(NOTE: It must be noted, in discussions on how so many extranormally-powered persons managed to go unnoticed until [[Revelation Day]]. This is mainly due to the fact that less than thirty percent of the entire ''USAES Corps of Cadets'' in any given year are of Class Three or higher ability levels, and also due to the ''[[USAES Geas of Attendance]]'' (a mystically-binding code of conduct that helps keep attendees from acting in ways to reveal their abilities to the public). Overall, efforts towards what people have referred to as '[[The Masquerade]]' were spectacularly successful on a global basis until the revelation of powers by the American metahuman youth group known as ''The Legion''.)
 
The ''First Academy'' provides a world-class educational experience that will allow the successful cadet to pursue academic opportunities at any academic institution he or she sees fit to pursue, or begin a career in any potential entry-level area of national or military service (which the cadet will be able to rapidly advance through). The ''Elite Academy'' provides academic majors that will award cadets degrees in either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts upon completion of their studies, as well as commissions into the United States Armed Forces (as active-duty officers, members of the National Guard of their destined state, or as members of the Reserve of their chosen branch of military service). In addition, the Academy offers minors in non-traditional areas of study (for a military institution) in keeping with the nature of the Academy's mandate towards preparing cadets for not just careers in service, but of a civilian nature after their service obligation has been fulfilled.
