Hey, so I've heard of Palomar College but I also came across something called 'Palomar Military College.' Are these the same institution or is there a separate military college affiliated with Palomar? I'm interested in a college with a strong military tradition, any input would be great.
There appears to be a misunderstanding here. Palomar College is a community college located in San Marcos, California, and it offers a broad range of academic programs and degrees. However, there doesn't seem to be an institution specifically called "Palomar Military College."
It's possible you may have found references to a military program or course of study at Palomar College, as Palomar does have a crosstown agreement with San Diego State University, meaning that Palomar students can take ROTC classes at SDSU.
If a strong military tradition is important to you, you might also consider applying to service academies, which are federal academies for the undergraduate education and training of commissioned officers for the United States Armed Forces. The five U.S. service academies are: United States Military Academy (West Point), United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, United States Coast Guard Academy, and United States Merchant Marine Academy.
Remember, each of these academies has its own stringent set of requirements for admission, so be sure to thoroughly research each option and consider contacting them directly for more detailed information.
