What are some colleges that offer military science programs?

Hi all, I'm really interested in military science and I was wondering if anyone knows about some colleges that offer robust programs in this. Looking specifically for places that have a dedicated department, not just one or two courses. I'd like to learn more about the curriculum etc, if anyone enrolled in such a program can share their experiences.

Of course, happy to share information on Military Science programs!

Two prominent colleges that come to mind are the United States Military Academy (also known as West Point) and Norwich University. Both have comprehensive military studies and leadership programs.

West Point is renowned for its strong Military Science program, integrated into a broader liberal arts education. The curriculum is designed around the development of leadership and technical skills, focusing on areas such as combat maneuvering, ethics, professional military operations, and strategic decision-making.

Norwich University, too, offers a distinct Military Science program within its Corps of Cadets, where students receive training in leadership and management, strategic planning, and the history of military thought. The program balances practical, hands-on training with theory and historical study.

Another resource might be traditional universities with strong ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) programs, such as University of Michigan or University of Virginia. While these programs might not be housed in dedicated military science departments per se, they offer a rigorous curriculum focused on leadership development, military skills, and professional knowledge.

Do remember, these programs often entail a service commitment post-graduation, so consider this while you plan your education journey. Speaking to college admissions reps, as well as current and former students, can get you more first-hand insights into these military science programs. Good luck!
