I'm looking for a list of junior colleges that offer a military education. Anyone got any good suggestions or experiences with this?
Absolutely, there are several reputable junior or community colleges across the United States that offer military education. These programs often come in the form of ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) partnerships with other universities and colleges, or dedicated military science degree programs.
Let's start with the Air Force ROTC program. For example, Riverside City College in California offers the Air Force ROTC program in partnership with the University of California, Riverside. Cadets take their ROTC classes at UCR while completing their academic classes at RCC.If you're interested in an Army ROTC program, consider Glendale Community College in Arizona. They partner with Northern Arizona University's ROTC program, providing students with military education and training while they study at the community college.
If you're looking to learn more about the Navy or Marines, Orange Coast College in California offers a Naval Science program. This program includes coursework in Naval operations, leadership, navigation, and more.
Lastly, for a dedicated degree program, consider the Military Science program at Pierce College in Washington. This program offers a variety of degrees, including an Associate of Arts in Military Science which covers a blend of academic and practical experience in military leadership, strategy, and operations.While these are just a few examples, many other community colleges also provide military education opportunities. Depending on your specific interests, requirements, and location, I'd recommend reaching out to the respective military education departments of the colleges you're considering for a more personalized guidance.
