Hey there! I'm a junior looking for options to mix military and college. Are there any military colleges in North Carolina? I'd be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction for finding more information about them.
Absolutely, there are some excellent options in North Carolina if you're seeking to combine military training with your college education. Here's a brief rundown:
1. The United States Military Academy Preparatory School (USMAPS): This is located at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and offers a 10-month long program primarily for selected soldiers from the Regular Army, National Guard, and Reserve.
2. North Carolina State University: NC State has a Corps of Cadets known as the Wolfpack Battalion. They offer a variety of ROTC programs including Army, Navy, and Air Force.
3. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: UNC Chapel Hill also hosts different ROTC programs which include Army, Air Force, and Naval ROTC.
Remember that while these programs can provide an excellent combination of military training and college academics, you should also consider the specific academic programs and extracurricular activities available at these institutions to ensure they align with your interests. Likewise, consider reaching out to each ROTC department directly or attending information sessions to learn more about scholarships, day-to-day life, and post-college service commitments. Best of luck on your journey!
