Looking for Military Colleges

I'm really set on serving, so military colleges are my top choices. But, honestly, I don't really know many besides the service academies. Can anyone help me out with some names of other 'military colleges' that I should consider?

Absolutely, it's good to consider military colleges other than the five federal service academies. Here are a few to consider:

1. Virginia Military Institute (VMI): VMI provides military training to all of its students, but only a portion of graduates commission each year. It produces a high number of officers relative to its size.

2. The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina: The Citadel is another senior military college like VMI. It seeks to instill strong moral character, leadership skills, and a commitment to duty in its students.

3. Norwich University in Vermont: Known as the birthplace of ROTC, Norwich offers both a traditional college experience and a Corps of Cadets program in which students can participate.

4. Texas A&M University: Known for its Corps of Cadets, though not all students participate in it, Texas A&M commissions a high number of officers each year.

5. Virginia Tech's Corps of Cadets: While Virginia Tech is not a dedicated military school, their Corps of Cadets program is an option for students interested in military leadership.

6. University of North Georgia: One of six senior military colleges in the U.S., it offers the Corps of Cadets and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs.

At all of these schools, participating in the military program isn't required to attend, but the programs are there if you choose to pursue them. Always remember to carefully consider factors such as size, extracurricular offerings, majors, cultural fit, and location when choosing colleges, not just the military program, to ensure the school you choose is a good overall fit. Good luck with your college search!
