Hey everyone, recently I came across a list referencing six senior military colleges in the U.S. but it didn't specify which ones. Does anyone know what these colleges are?
Sure, the six senior military colleges in the United States are:
1. Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont. Norwich University is recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense as the birthplace of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC).
2. Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. Texas A&M runs one of the largest ROTC programs in the nation and all students, regardless of whether they are pursuing a military track, are part of the Corps of Cadets in their freshman year.
3. The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, in Charleston, South Carolina. The Citadel is one of the most recognizable institutions for military education and leadership development.
4. Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. VMI is known for a rigorous academic program along with strict military discipline.
5. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in Blacksburg, Virginia. The Corps of Cadets at Virginia Tech is one of the three military-oriented programs, along with agriculture and engineering.
6. University of North Georgia in Dahlonega, Georgia. As a member of the University System of Georgia, the University of North Georgia is unique in providing both a military and civilian educational experience.
The primary feature of these senior military colleges is that they combine a full military lifestyle with civilian college coursework and degree programs. These are a great option for students who are interested in a military career after college but also want a traditional university experience.
