What's shaking, guys? I'm just wondering about other paths after high school and I read somewhere that there are only four four-year military colleges in the US. I tried googling but didn't get a clear answer. Can anyone here confirm this and maybe list those four institutions?
Hey there! You're on the right track. There are four senior military colleges in the United States that offer a full four-year program. These institutions are:
- The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina (Located in Charleston, SC)
- Virginia Military Institute (Located in Lexington, VA)
- Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets (College Station, TX)
- Norwich University, The Military College of Vermont (Located in Northfield, VT)
These schools are unique in that they mix traditional undergraduate education with elements of military discipline, training, and lifestyle. It's a bridge of sorts between civilian life and military service, and for some, it's a pathway to commissioning as officers in the armed services after graduation. Hope this answers your question!
