Hey guys, I've been doing some college searches lately, and Norwich University keeps popping up. I just wanted to know, is it regarded as a military college? Thanks in advance!
Yes, indeed Norwich University is considered a military college. Norwich University is in Northfield, Vermont, and is the oldest private military college in the United States. The university has a military tradition that dates back to its founding in 1819.
It's known for its Corps of Cadets, a military-oriented student body option that's available but not required for all students attending the school. Students in the Corps of Cadets participate in military training while pursuing a degree. But, keep in mind that attendance at Norwich University doesn't require participation in the military program. Norwich also provides a traditional university experience for those who do not wish to join the Corps of Cadets.
In other words, it offers both civilian and military pathways for students. For those interested in a military career, it can serve as a solid choice offering rigorous military training combined with a comprehensive academic curriculum.
