Hey, I am currently a high school junior living in Georgia near Stone Mountain. I'm considering joining a military college, hence I want to know more about the military colleges near me. Appreciate if anyone could provide some information on this!
Absolutely, Georgia does have some military colleges that might interest you. One of the most well-known is the Georgia Military College. While its main campus is in Milledgeville, it does offer several extension campuses throughout the state. Unfortunately, none of these are directly in Stone Mountain, but there are extension campuses located in Atlanta and Madison which may be moderately convenient for you.
As a Military Junior College, Georgia Military College offers a host of degree programs and incorporates military customs into daily student life, with required physical training and leadership education. After GMC, some students transfer to 4-year colleges while others move directly into military service as officers.
Additionally, there's North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega. It's known for its Corps of Cadets - a military leadership program that operates alongside the academic programs. Cadets can choose to either commission into the military after graduation, or pursue civilian careers.
It would be helpful to contact the admissions offices of these institutions to request more information and possibly arrange a campus visit. Remember, while proximity might be important to you, also take into account factors like the specific programs of study and the campus culture.
