Hey all, I'm currently a junior and I'm very interested in the military and college. Specifically, I want to know if there are any military colleges in Georgia. Does anyone know anything about them, or have any personal experiences they can share?
Yes, there are two primary military institutions in Georgia: the University of North Georgia (UNG) and the Georgia Military College (GMC).
1. University of North Georgia (UNG): The Military College of Georgia, one of only six senior military colleges in the US, is a constituent institution within UNG. The college offers Army ROTC programs for both undergraduate and graduate students. Many cadets live on the UNG Dahlonega Campus, where they participate in traditional military exercises. Cadets can follow an academic route suited to their interests while also developing leadership skills.
2. Georgia Military College (GMC): GMC is a two-year military-focused community college with a non-traditional junior college format. This college is also a designated State Leadership Institution and has leadership training opportunities available. GMC offers associate degree programs and has a partnership with UNG for students who intend to transfer and pursue a bachelor's degree.
It's a good idea to visit these campuses and see firsthand what life is like there. You could also speak with contacts and admissions representatives from the institutions to better understand your options. Research what degree programs and extracurricular activities they offer, and consider how these line up with your career aspirations. Good luck with your exploration!
