Interested in both post-secondary education and gaining military experience?
The military offers multiple opportunities to high school graduates, listed below.
This 1-page resource outlines multiple pathways to enter the military, also listed below:
- The 5 U.S. military academies prepare students to become commissioned officers while providing them with a free undergraduate degree in exchange for military service.
- Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) – ROTC is a military officer training program offered at 1,700 colleges across the nation.
