UNG Reputation: What's the Deal?

Anyone know what the scoop is with University of North Georgia? I've heard it has strong military programs, but how does it stack up overall as a college? Is it worth considering if I'm interested in a military career post-college?

Sure, let's break it down. When it comes to the University of North Georgia (UNG), you are absolutely correct that its military programs are one of its big draws. It is one of the six senior military colleges in the United States and the military focus is embedded in the university culture. It hosts an Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program and is designated by the Department of Defense as a Military College. This means students who choose the military path at UNG engage in leadership development and military science classes along with their chosen major, setting them up well for roles of responsibility in the military after graduation.

However, UNG's strength goes beyond the military. It offers a wide selection of academic programs in fields like nursing, business and education, and it's recognized for its commitment to undergraduate education. Thanks to its relatively low tuition, UNG is often cited as a good-value choice for higher education.

In terms of reputation, UNG ranks consistently well among regional universities in the South, according to multiple rankings. What sets it apart, other than the military focus, is its commitment to leadership development - highlighted by the variety of leadership programs available to students, whether they are pursuing a military career or not.

If you are considering a military career, UNG certainly is a solid choice. It provides both the academic structure and the military preparation that can serve you well in a military career. As with any college decision, I'd encourage you to also consider factors like location, size, student life, and the specific courses offered in your areas of academic interest.
