Can anyone share info about the ROTC at North Georgia Military College?

Hi, been thinking about joining the ROTC program at North Georgia Military College. Does anyone have any insights about the program? What can I expect if I decide to join?

Hello!

The ROTC program at the University of North Georgia (often referred to as North Georgia Military College) is one of the top Senior Military Colleges in the nation and it's held in high regard due to its rigorous training and strong sense of community. Being an ROTC cadet at this institution is about developing leadership skills and preparing for a military career.

In the program, you'd be expected to take classes in military science in addition to your regular coursework. These include courses on leadership development, military skills, and ethics. Part of your time would also be dedicated to physical training, which can involve early morning runs and gym workouts to stay in top physical condition.

One thing to note is that a significant portion of cadets at North Georgia are on an ROTC scholarship, which covers tuition and provides a monthly stipend. If you're interested in pursuing this path, I recommend applying for these scholarships as they can significantly help with college expenses.

Importantly, as an ROTC cadet, you should expect to commit to military service after graduation, the length of which can depend on whether you're on an ROTC scholarship and your desired branch in the military.

This program offers opportunities in leadership and fostering team skills but keep in mind it's also a serious commitment. It's advisable to speak with current or former cadets as well as the admissions office to learn more about the responsibilities and lifestyle that come with being in the program. You might also want to visit the campus to get an experience of the environment and interact with Cadets already in the program.

The commitment is substantial but it can be a rewarding route to leadership development and a military career.
