Anyone from Georgia here? Just wondering, how many military colleges does Georgia have? Been considering it as one destination when applying to colleges.
Georgia is host to three main military-focused colleges.
1. The United States Military College Prep School (colloquially known as 'Riverside Military Academy') is one. This is a private college preparatory boarding and day school situated in Gainesville that mainly provides military structure. It's particularly known for its strong emphasis on character development, leadership, and education in a military setting.
2. The second one which is arguably the most popular is the University of North Georgia, previously known as North Georgia College and State University. This school is one of six senior military colleges in the country. They offer a military education program in conjunction with a wide array of undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
3. The third is the Georgia Military College. It's a public junior military college with multiple campuses throughout the state, including Augusta, Columbus, Valdosta, among others. They offer associate and bachelor degrees and aim to produce educated citizens and contributing members of society in an environment conducive to the development of the intellect and character of its students.
These schools offer a variety of programs and options for students interested in a military-focused education. Remember to research each one thoroughly to ensure they align with your career goals, financial situation, and academic interests. Good luck with your applications!
