Hey guys, I'm considering my post-high school options and I heard about some great military colleges in Arizona. Did anyone attend one of them? Can you share your experiences?
Absolutely, I'd be more than happy to share information about military colleges in Arizona.
A noteworthy institution within Arizona is the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott. Embry-Riddle is recognized for its strong programs in aerospace and systems engineering, applied science, business, and cybersecurity.
Moreover, Embry-Riddle provides an ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) program, which is a college program offered at over 1,700 colleges and universities across the United States that prepares young adults to become officers in the U.S. Military. Depending on the branch you're interested in, you can participate in the Air Force ROTC or Army ROTC at Embry-Riddle. This could be great if you're looking into a military career.
Another potential option is Northern Arizona University (NAU) in Flagstaff. NAU also has both Army and Air Force ROTC programs. Besides the ROTC, NAU offers diverse academic programs from natural sciences to business and education, giving students ample opportunities to explore their interests while preparing for military service.
In both cases, the ROTC program combines military education with college-level coursework, so you'll get a blend of traditional college experience and military training. Students often describe these programs as being very team-oriented and challenging, but also incredibly rewarding and great for personal growth and development.
I hope this provides a helpful starting point for your research into military colleges in Arizona! Best of luck with your decision.
