Georgia Military College- Milledgeville Campus
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaEstablished in 1879 in Milledgeville, Georgia Military College (abbreviated as GMC) now includes a liberal arts junior college, a high school, and a middle school. GMC's focus is on a junior college military science program that culminates at the end of two years of study and training with contracted cadets being commissioned as officers in the U.S. Army. GMC is one of five military junior colleges that participates in the Army's Early Commissioning Program.
In addition to the main campus in Milledgeville for about 275 resident full-time ROTC students (the Corps of Cadets) and several hundred local area commuter students, GMC offers five centers and two extension offices located around the state of Georgia at the sites listed below that serve a total of almost 4,000 commuter full and part time students.
GMC also offers a military Prep School for commuter students in the Baldwin County area with a total of about 250 6th to 8th graders and 250 Army Junior ROTC or JROTC Cadets from 9th to 12th grade enrolled. The ACCEL Program (formerly known as Joint Enrollment) at Georgia Military College Prep School is administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission and enables qualified seniors to attend classes at the junior college and the high school simultaneously while earning credit for both their high school diploma and their college degree. Other than the cost of books, this benefit is available to GMC Prep School cadets at no additional charge.
Corps of Cadets
GMC's Early Commissioning Program (ECP) is specifically designed to enable students to become a Second Lieutenant in the US Army after the first two years in college. GMC offers funding specifically to help pay costs for Corps of Cadet members on the Milledgeville Campus. The State Service Scholarship Program provides 39 full scholarships to qualified Georgia residents with an interest in military service as well as a quality college education. The program is funded through the Georgia General Assembly. Scholarship recipients are required to become members of either the Army or Air National Guard and must be nominated by a member of the Georgia General Assembly. These scholarships cover tuition, fees, rooms, board, books and supplies. Scholarship winners must join the Corps of Cadets and participate in Army ROTC. Army ROTC Scholarships are also available for qualified cadets interested in the Early Commissioning Program (ECP). These scholarships are funded through ROTC and cover tuition, fees, and an amount for books, plus a monthly stipend. There are various options for ROTC scholarship based on the student's desire for active duty or reserve component duty.

Question: Is Georgia Military College an Army college?Or does GA Military College accept anybody that are going to be in another branch of the military? Do they offer Air Force ROTC?28 months ago
Best AnswerKinda. The main campus located in Milledgeville, Georgia has an Army ROTC program and the Corps of Cadets program. Georgia Military College (GMC) has 8 different campuses located throughout the state of Georgia. Every campus is a 2-year junior college. I attend GMC-Valdosta where I can finish my general studies a lot faster because we are on quarter schedule instead of semesters. A lot of people I know start at GMC and then transfer to Valdosta State University, where they are on regular semesters. The campus I attend also offers night classes. It has nothing to do with the military other then the main campus in Milledgeville, which I have never been to. Just a normal community/junior college! I love it though, small classes and like I said the quarters go by faster then semesters (8 weeks) Depending on how much college you have accomplished, you could do the Army ROTC program at GMC for 2 years.. graduate, and then where ever you go to finish you bachelor degree (4yr university) they will probably offer Air Force ROTC at that school. Because I think you don't make any commitments to military branch until after your second year in ROTC.. not sure though. Hope this helps! |
