Honor is the most cherished principle at The Citadel. In today's post-corporate-scandal society, honor, integrity, and ethics are in high demand. The Citadel strives to achieve excellence in the education of principled leaders, also known as the "whole person" concept. The Honor Code encompasses all aspects of cadet life, from academic integrity to personal integrity. It has evolved from an unwritten tradition know as the "code of the gentleman" to a formalized code in September of 1955, when the Corps of Cadets unanimously voted to establish The Honor Code. The development of a cadet into a principled leader is a four-tiered process that includes knowing, adhering, believing, and leading. Its culmination is seen in the cadets who internalize the Code, and the alumni who continually apply it throughout their lives.
