Are there military colleges that also have a civilian student body?

Hi all, I'm interested in military colleges but wonder if they also have civilian populations. Can someone help with some info on this?

Yes, there are several military academies in the United States that offer a mixture of military and civilian lifestyles. These are technically referred to as "Senior Military Colleges". Here are a few examples:

1. Norwich University: Norwich University, located in Northfield, Vermont, is unique in that it offers both a military lifestyle through its Corps of Cadets program and a traditional civilian lifestyle. Students who do not wish to participate in the Corps of Cadets can instead choose to live the civilian lifestyle on campus.

2. The Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets: At Texas A&M, the Corps of Cadets is a student-led military organization, but it is not required for all students attending the university. Many of the students are involved in the civilian lifestyle at the university.

3. University of North Georgia: The University of North Georgia also has a dual military/civilian program. Their Corps of Cadets is referred to as the 'Boar's Head Brigade' but students can also choose to live a civilian lifestyle on campus.

These military colleges allow students to pursue a military lifestyle while still providing opportunities for a traditional civilian college experience. Remember, it's always important to research all options and choose the college that aligns best with your future goals and preferences.
