Do military colleges incorporate boot camps?

I'm set on joining a military college, but here's where I'm a bit curious. Do they incorporate boot camps like how the regular military training works, or is it more conventional college-style?

Military colleges typically do incorporate some form of a military-style training program into their curriculum, but it is often a modified version designed to accommodate academic studies. This has a different name depending on the institution, but it is somewhat similar to "boot camp".

For instance, the first year at the United States Military Academy (West Point) involves what is called the "Beast Barracks", which takes place six weeks during the summer before freshman year. During this time, cadets undergo rigorous physical and military training.

At the U.S. Naval Academy, there's a similar concept called "Plebe Summer", which is a challenging six-week training period that all incoming students must go through before officially starting their studies.

The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, has what it calls "Freshman Training Week," which is a shorter but still intense training period before the academic year starts for first-year students. First-year students (known as knobs) continue to receive further training within a military lifestyle throughout the year.

So, while they may not utilize traditional boot-camp methods, military colleges do incorporate structured, discipline-driven training periods that mirror aspects of a boot camp experience. However, these periods also run concurrently with a typical academic college experience, including studying traditional degree subjects, attending classes, and living in dormitories. The integration of military training enhances self-discipline, teamwork, leadership skills, moral ethics, and physical endurance among students.
