这个网上抄来的回答很淸楚，名额很少，而且前提是有奖学金，以后服务时间加长如果军队资助。

I am a Firstie at USMA that tried to attend graduate school after graduation. Below are West Point’s three current options for graduate school.

Per Army regulations, cadets may only attend graduate school immediately after graduation if it is fully funded. There are three options available that meet that criterion:

1) Win a Scholarship: Fulbright, Marshall, Mitchell, Rhodes, Gates-Cambridge, Rotary, Hertz, Churchill, East-West, and Lincoln Lab, National GEM Consortium, Naval Postrgraduate, and St. Andrew’s Society Fellowships/Scholarships are the opportunities for which USMA cadets currently compete. West Point selects cadets in their first semester, junior year to compete for the Marshall, Mitchell, Gates-Cambridge, St. Andrew's Society, and Rhodes Scholarships. Any cadet may apply and compete for the other scholarships listed. Some scholarships allow you to select university, some are for a specific university. For more info, check out AR 621-7 or the page below out, and If you have any questions about this option, PM me: http://www.usma.edu/excellence/sitepages/scholarships.aspx.

2) Compete for Medical School: For my class, 20 slots were available for cadets to attend medical school immediately after graduation. To be selected, the cadet must have completed certain med-school track courses and complete an interview. The cadet must then successfully apply to a medical school of their choice, which is not usually a problem.

3) Compete for Law School: I’m afraid I’m out of my depth here. I’m told this exists, but have never participated myself, known anyone who participated, or heard much about it.


Most officers do not attend school after graduation. Broadly (with some gross generalization) there are three avenues to attend graduate school—usually 5-8 years after graduation.

1) Army-Funded: AR 621-1 and AR 614-130 govern officer selection for fully-funded graduate school. The only guaranteed way to go to graduate school is to be selected as an instructor or TAC at USMA. Studying at foreign universities is not authorized.

2) Olmstead Scholarship: Earn a graduate degree (24 mos) overseas.

3) Pay for it yourself: The Army will not allow officers to ‘take time off” to go to grad school if it is self-funded. Officers who pay for grad school out-of-pocket do so concurrent with regularly serving on active duty. I suppose this is also an option immediately after graduation, though with BOLC, Ranger, etc., it’s probably not a realistic option.

All of the six above options that are funded by the Army or a scholarship incur a three-to-one Additional Service Obligation (ADSO). This means that for every one day spent at graduate school, the officer adds three days to his or her service obligation. Big-picture, this comes out roughly six additional years’ service for a 24-mos degree program.
