Six Military Colleges in the US

I'm looking into military colleges but I'm finding more than I expected. I once heard there were only six dedicated military colleges in the US. Could anyone provide more information on these specific six? Thanks for your help, everyone!

Indeed, you're right! There are six senior military colleges in the United States. These are four-year colleges that combine full military lifestyle with civilian college experiences. Here's a brief rundown:

1. The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina: Founded in 1842, The Citadel offers more than50 undergraduate degree programs through its five schools. It's located in Charleston, South Carolina.

2. Virginia Military Institute (VMI): Established in 1839, VMI is in Lexington, Virginia. It is the oldest military college in the United States.

3. Norwich University: This located in Northfield, Vermont, and it's the oldest private military college in the U.S., dating back to 1819.

4. Texas A&M University: While not strictly a military college, Texas A&M is one of the six senior military colleges thanks to its Corps of Cadets program. It's a public research university located in College Station, Texas.

5. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech): Similar to Texas A&M, Virginia Tech is a public research university that has a Corps of Cadets, qualifying it as a senior military college. It's located in Blacksburg, Virginia.

6. University of North Georgia: Originally founded as a branch of The University of Georgia, UNG became its own institution in 2013. It has multiple campuses, with the main one located in Dahlonega, Georgia.

Each of these schools offers unique programs and opportunities, so consider what matters most to you in a college experience as you research. For example, some offer traditional military training along with a wide array of civilian degree programs, while others focus heavily on the military aspect. Good luck with your investigations!
