Is Clemson a military college?

Hi guys, I'm confused about Clemson University. Is it a military college or just a regular university? I can't seem to find any definitive information about this.

Clemson University is a public, coeducational, research university located in Clemson, South Carolina. It's not a military college in the typical sense of the term, like The Citadel or West Point, where military training is central to the institution’s mission and all students are cadets.

However, Clemson does have a deep military history and a strong ROTC program, which might confuse some people. The institution was established through an Act of Congress in 1889 as a military and agricultural college, and until 1955, Clemson operated on a mandatory military model with all-male students required to participate in the ROTC and live in military-style barracks.

In the mid-1950s, Clemson transitioned from a military college to a co-educational, civilian institution. These days, the ROTC program remains a significant part of student life, but it's not mandatory for all students. It's a path that students can choose if they are interested in serving in the military after graduation. Their programs are high-quality and widely respected, offering leadership training and scholarships for qualifying students.

So, while Clemson University isn't a military college per se, with the prerequisite of military training for all its students, it does have a vibrant ROTC program that maintains the institution's foundational ties with military traditions.
