U. S. SERVICE ACADEMIES
SENIOR MILITARY COLLEGES
Senior military colleges (SMCs) are among some of the most prestigious and renowned educational institutions in the Nation. They were established by law to provide a military experience similar to the federal service academies like West Point, the Naval Academy, and the Air Force Academy, without having to compete for a hard-to-get slot.
Attending one of the six SMCs gives you a similar schedule and experience as students at the service academies while you’re enrolled in college. You’ll also get the chance to earn a guaranteed commission in the U.S. Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Navy through the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program. As a member of the Corps, you’ll live in dorms set aside just for the Corps of Cadets and be immersed in military life 24/7.
