Hey guys, I'm considering attending Georgia Military College after high school. I've heard some mixed reviews about it though. Does anyone know about their graduation rate? Is it good as compared to other military colleges or just in general?
Graduation rates can indeed be a helpful metric when considering different colleges, as they can indicate the school's ability to support students till the completion of the program. According to the latest data available, Georgia Military College has a graduation rate around 30%. This is a bit on the lower side as compared to many other schools.
Comparatively, service academies such as United States Military Academy (West Point) or the Naval Academy have graduation rates exceeding 80%. However, keep in mind an apples-to-apples comparison may not be that straightforward.
Different schools have varying selection criteria, student profiles, and academic and military programs - all of these factors can influence graduation rates. Before deciding, it might be helpful to not just look at this single statistic, but to consider what aspects of a school are most important to you (such as size, location, specific academic programs, etc.) and make an informed decision based on those considerations.
