I'm really interested in a college that offers military programs, and someone suggested that Kishwaukee College might have one. Can anyone confirm this and possibly give a quick rundown of their experience if they've attended?
Yes, Kishwaukee College does offer military programs. Specifically, they have programs associated with the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) through a partnership with Northern Illinois University (NIU). Students at Kishwaukee can participate in the Army ROTC program at NIU while they pursue their associate degree.
The ROTC program prepares college students to serve as commissioned officers in the U.S. military after graduation, offering a mix of academic education and physical training. While attending Kishwaukee College, you can start taking ROTC classes at NIU.
These Army ROTC courses cover leadership development, military skills, and adventure training. This can provide you with valuable skills that can be applied to a military or civilian career. Courses in military history, defense strategy, and similar subjects often form part of the curriculum as well.
In addition, Kishwaukee College offers resources for veterans, including assisting with benefits, providing counseling and support services, and helping veterans integrate into college life.
I encourage you to reach out to the Student Services department at Kishwaukee College for more detailed information. Also, keep in mind that participating in these programs has obligations and commitments, so ensure you understand these before proceeding.
