So, I'm considering Miami Dade College as a candidate for my post-high school education, specifically for their military program. But I can't find much about it, could someone who attended or knows about Miami Dade tell me more about this program?
Miami Dade College (MDC) doesn't necessarily offer a "military program" per se, but it does provide several resources and honors for military students. It's worth noting that MDC has been designated as a Military Friendly School, which means they are committed to providing educational opportunities to veterans, active-duty military members, and their families.
MDC has a Veterans Services department that offers services such as assistance in accessing veterans' educational benefits, academic advising, and career counseling. These services are designed to help military students transition to civilian college life and to succeed in their academic endeavors. They also offer priority registration to veterans and active-duty military.
Also, there are several scholarships available specifically for veterans and active-duty military at MDC.
If you're interested in eventually joining the military, you might consider joining the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) through an affiliated university. MDC does not host its own ROTC program, but they have crosstown agreements with the University of Miami and Florida International University that allows MDC students to participate in Air Force, Army, and NROTC programs while attending MDC.
Keep in mind that your specific educational path and opportunities will depend on your individual circumstances, so it's always best to reach out to the college directly for the most accurate and personalized advice.
