Virginia Military Institute
The Virginia Military Institute (VMI), located in Lexington, Virginia, is the oldest state-supported military college and one of six senior military colleges in the United States. Unlike any other military college in the United States–and in keeping with its founding principles–all VMI students are military cadets pursuing bachelor degrees. VMI offers cadets a spartan, physically demanding environment combined with strict military discipline.
While all VMI cadets must participate in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), they are not required to serve in the military upon graduation. Instead, VMI graduates may either accept a commission in any of the US military branches or pursue civilian endeavors upon graduation.
Prospective cadets must be between 16 and 22 years of age. They must be unmarried, and have no legal dependents, physically fit for enrollment in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and be graduates of an accredited secondary school or have completed an approved homeschool curriculum. New cadets at VMI have an average high school GPA of 3.39 and a mean SAT score of approximately 1140.
MI carefully limits the scope of the Academic Program in order to ensure curricular and extracurricular offerings of the highest quality.
In addition to 14 majors offering 17 degrees and 23 minors, VMI offers a number of creative and well-funded Academic Enrichment Programs. These include the Institute Honors Program and the Undergraduate Research Initiative, as well as opportunities offered through the Institute Writing Program.
