Hello all, I'm a junior thinking about the military as a career option. Could someone provide a list of USA military colleges? Thanks in advance.
Sure, I'd be happy to provide a list of U.S. military colleges. Here's a list of the federally run service academies:
1. United States Military Academy (West Point, NY)
2. United States Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)
3. United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO)
4. United States Coast Guard Academy (New London, CT)
5. United States Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point, NY)
Keep in mind that admission to these schools is extremely competitive and includes a nomination process, usually from a congressional representative.
Outside of these, there are also the Senior Military Colleges, which offer a combination of higher education with military instruction:
1. The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina (Charleston, SC)
2. Norwich University (Northfield, VT)
3. Texas A&M Corps of Cadets (College Station, TX)
4. Virginia Military Institute (Lexington, VA)
5. Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets (Blacksburg, VA)
6. University of North Georgia (Dahlonega, GA)
These schools offer the option of participating in a corps of cadets program while pursuing a regular college degree.
As always, when evaluating your options it's important to consider the commitment involved. Students at military academies generally incur a service obligation upon graduation.
