Post; Military schools that aren't academies


I think the title pretty much gives it away. If anyone knows of any military schools that aren't any of the academies, please let me know what they are, links and information. Thank you

You might give The Citadel a look. - http://www.citadel.edu/

VMI is another one. - http://www.vmi.edu/

And, of course, my home state has Norwich. - http://www.norwich.edu/

Good luck in making a choice. There are, obviously, other choices than these but you can't go wrong picking one of them either.

can u be an officer even if u go to a community college? O__o; I guess not because theres the CCof (place branch) I think and req for CC is very low.. like all u need to be is 17 or so..

but i guess if u go to a bad college.. one cant rank up fast I guess..
I want to be at least a Lt. Col before I retire... if I survive.. man Brig Gen would kick ass XD and then teach JROTC or something.. would be fun..

edit :

So... anyone know a college / uni thats cheap/affordable.. a place I can major in Battle Stradigies?

You can start at a community college and then transfer to a regular college that has ROTC, or apply to one of the service academies. You just need to make sure that you kick butt academically while you're in community college -- the military is probably not interested in paying for school tuition for someone that can't hack it academically.

As for other non-service academy military schools, doesn't Texas A&M have a corps of cadets?

actually dude most every college will have some kind of ROTC most smaller schools will have more than likely only 1 most of the time its Army but mid major and major schools will have at least 2 ROTCs all I can tell you is to look at the website of the school you want to go to and see if they offer ROTC. Otherwise you can go to OCS with any Bachelors degree.Also apply for ROTC scholarships u can apply for all 3 if you like and then go with the one that will give you more money to go to college, it is not frowned upon for an officer to have went to a traditional civilian school.
