The first class at the Army Industrial College had only nine students, but by the early 1930s, the college was graduating 40 to 50 students in each class. During the first three years, the college provided a five-month course of study. In 1927, the program was expanded to ten-months with one graduating class each year. Major [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] graduated from the college in 1933 and later served on the faculty. In 1940, the colleges expanded to two classes and then graduated four classes in 1941. The college was closed in December 1941 after Japan’s [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] to make officers available to support [[World War II]]. By that time approximately 1,000 officers had been trained at the college.<ref name="AG1" /> | The first class at the Army Industrial College had only nine students, but by the early 1930s, the college was graduating 40 to 50 students in each class.
