Hey guys, can you recommend some reputable military-friendly colleges in Texas? I'm in the Junior ROTC program at my high school, and I want to continue on this path. What are some schools that offer military-related majors, have ROTC programs, or generally support military students? Thanks a bunch!
Hello,
Great to see you have initiative in pursuing your military-associated academic interests! A top choice for military friendly institutions in Texas would be Texas A&M University, which not only hosts an esteemed ROTC program but also features a Corps of Cadets that emphasizes leadership development. Their offerings span across Army, Air Force, and Navy/Marine ROTC.
Another worthy choice is University of Texas (UT) at Austin. UT has Army and Air Force ROTC programs, along with a Naval ROTC program which includes Marines. The University features a Veterans Services office that provides resources and support for military-affiliated students.
Tarleton State University, a part of the Texas A&M University System, is also well-regarded for its supportive environment for military students. It offers both Army and Air Force ROTC programs.
The University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton also has Army and Air Force ROTC options, and provides a wealth of resources through their Student Veteran Services Office.
Moreover, St. Mary's University in San Antonio is home to the Army ROTC Rattler Battalion. They have a supportive environment with additional honors and scholarship opportunities associated with military service and interest.
Due to the wide selection of military-friendly institutions in Texas, it'd be beneficial to explore these colleges' websites and contact their admissions or military services offices to get a better sense of which will align best with your future goals and current needs. Best of luck during your college search!
