This might come off as a bit naive, but are military colleges classified as undergraduate institutions? I thought they were but wanted to confirm.
Yes, indeed, military colleges are classified as undergraduate institutions. This means that they offer associate's degrees and bachelor's degrees, the same as you would find at other undergraduate institutions. Some of the most well-known military colleges in the US include the United States Military Academy at West Point, the United States Naval Academy, the United States Coast Guard Academy, and the United States Air Force Academy among others. These colleges provide rigorous academic programs alongside military training, allowing students to graduate as commissioned officers in the U.S. military. If you are planning on attending one of these, make sure to fully understand the commitment that comes along with it, as you typically owe a certain number of years of service upon graduation.
