News: North Georgia was awarded by the MacArthur Foundation as the top Army ROTC unit among all senior military colleges in the nation for 2009-2010. We also received the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America's Outstanding ROTC Unit award as the best Army ROTC program out of the 273 in the country! We are also ranked #20 among the South's public regional universities in the 2011 edition of Best Colleges by the U.S. News Media Group.

Read about top performing Cadets from the North Georgia Army ROTC program!

North Georgia is proud to be designated by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and by the Georgia General Assembly as the Military College of Georgia and distinguished as a leadership institution of Georgia. North Georgia provides an environment of academic excellence that develops leaders who respect all people, maintain high ethical standards, continue intellectual and personal growth, and serve the community, the state, the nation, and the world.

Spectacularly successful military program that consistently ranks as the best in the country. Their secret? They eliminated the strict regimentation of West Point, The Citadel and VMI and replaced it from the beginning with a more real world atmosphere while at the same time working hard to train leadership, personal responsibility and teamwork. NGCSU has also had female students since 1873, the beginning and found they bring a more civil, taming influence to the campus. Female cadets have been part of the ROTC since 1973 with no fanfare, fuss or displays of stupidity. All in all, the best military education you can find in the South. Affordable, safe, proven.

My nephew’s on a full ROTC scholarship and he attends this college. He likes the program, plus the location is wonderful. Dahlonega is a beautiful little town.

I am an NGCSU graduate from some years ago and get more proud of it every day.

And up North, the real deal with a very similar outlook and great success is Norwich University, founded in 1819 — the oldest private 4-year military school in the Nation.

I know quite a few Citadel Grads that will take exception to your claim of “ West Point of the South”

[Rammer]

Hear, hear.

They eliminated the strict regimentation of West Point, The Citadel and VMI

So they drank the weaksauce, eh?

[Bulldawg Fan]

They consistently outperform Citadel cadets in head to head competition at Ft Lewis each summer, in fact I dont know of any time Citadel has finished ahead of NGCSU. Even my summer camp class of ‘75 at Ft Bragg finished first.

Sorry, big costs and extreme regimentation dont translate into the best officers, the Army isnt that way and never has been.

[Bulldawg Fan]

I should have added VMI as well. VMI and Citadel are nearly identical in their procedures and outlook.

[Rammer]

Awwww sounds like someone took the easy route. It’s ok, some people are just weak.

[Bulldawg Fan]

Great logic. When you finish in the pack each year like The Citadel does, I guess the view doesnt change much.
