Military Academy Colleges in Texas?

Hey there, I'm wondering about the options I have here in Texas. I know about the service academies on the coasts, but are there any military academy colleges within Texas itself? Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, there are indeed military-oriented colleges in Texas. One prominent institution is Texas A&M University in College Station, which houses the Corps of Cadets. This is a military-influenced program, but it's not a service academy - students have the choice to pursue a commission in the U.S. Armed Forces upon graduation, but it's not a requirement.

Another institution to consider would be the University of North Texas in Denton, which hosts the Mean Green Battalion Army ROTC program. Like Texas A&M, participating in the ROTC program allows for military training alongside your traditional coursework, with the option to pursue a commission following graduation.

Also, worth mentioning is the Texas Military Institute (TMI) in San Antonio. However, this is a preparatory school (6th-12th grade) with a JROTC program, not an actual college or university.

Lastly, there is the United States Army Command and General Staff College Satellite Campus at Fort Hood. This is primarily for officer education after commissioning, so it's not an undergraduate institution.

Just remember, none of these are official service academies like West Point or Annapolis, but rather university programs that offer opportunities for military training and discipline in the structure of a traditional college education. The decision to serve comes after graduation for these programs, whereas at the national service academies, you're committed to serve after graduation.
