Exploring options at Georgia Military College? Preparatory School vs College?

I've recently been looking into Georgia Military College and I'm slightly confused. Can anyone clarify the difference between the prep school and the college? Are the academic and admission criteria different and if so, what are they?

Sure, I'd be happy to help clarify the differences between Georgia Military College's preparatory school and the college itself!

The Georgia Military College Preparatory School (GMPS) is essentially a middle and high school program. It serves students from the 6th through 12th grade, and its main goal is to prepare students for post-secondary education. The focus of GMPS is to provide a strongly structured and disciplined environment where students can thrive both acadically, as well as in character building. The admission criteria for GMPS includes an application, grades, standardized test scores, references, and an interview.

On the other hand, Georgia Military College (GMC) is a community college that offers a range of associate and bachelor's degree programs for post-secondary students. GMC caters to both traditional and non-traditional students who wish to transfer to four-year institutions, or those seeking professional development or personal enrichment. The admission criteria for the college includes a high school diploma or GED, standardized test scores, and an application which includes a personal essay.

When it comes to the choice between the two, it really depends on the academic level you're currently at. If you're looking for secondary education, the preparatory school would be the right path, but if you've already earned a high school diploma or GED and are looking for post-secondary studies, then attending the Georgia Military College would be the more suitable option.

Remember that these are two very different educational stages, so the academic and admission criteria would naturally differ. I hope this information helps you in your decision making process!
