I've been checking out James Madison University and was wondering if it's considered a military college or has any connections with the military. Can anyone clarify this for me? Thanks!
James Madison University is not a military school. JMU is a public university located in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and it offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Although it is not focused on military education, JMU does have an Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program available for students interested in pursuing a career in the military while earning a degree. The ROTC program provides training, leadership development, and scholarship opportunities for participating students, who have the option to commission as Second Lieutenants in the U.S. Army after graduation. However, this ROTC program does not make JMU a military school, as it is just one of the many opportunities available for students at the university.
