What is the best college to go to for military history?

Two good choices are the Naval Academy or West Point.  Steer clear of the Air Force Academy, they just don't have much history.

It is a mistake to look for specific majors in Civil War Studies.  What you really want is 19th century American history, and you can major in history in almost any college in the nation.  The history department is the place to do it, but also take courses in fields like African-American studies, Women's studies, etc.  Look for opportunities in American archaeology (often in Urban Studies departments or in Anthropology departments) as well.\n\nAnd here's some important information.  Since you want to go go on to graduate school, your major should definitely be in history, and you should simply choose the college with the best academic reputation among those that offer you admission.  If you can get into an Ivy League school, go.  If not, choose the school with the best (nationwide) academic reputation.\n\nHere's a helpful hint for choosing colleges and universities to apply to:\nYou seem to have a passion about the Civil War already.  Look in the bibliographies of the best books you have already read for the scholars that are constantly cited.  Find out where they teach, and then go to the websites of those colleges and universities.  Find out how often they offer courses in your field of interest.  And in your application, be specific about your desire to study with these particular scholars. \n\nI hope this helps!\nBest wishes to you.

The question you should ask first is not "what are the best colleges" but "what makes a strong communications program?" That way, you'll be able to compare programs depending on your specific needs.\n\nThis article, from the blog I write about finding the right college, describes what makes an excellent communications program, and provides links to various resources:\nhttp://collegehunt.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-find-and-evaluate-journalism.html\n\nThe same is true about business programs. A good place to start is the Association to Advance Colleges and Schools of Business (AACSB), the organization which accredits business programs. They have a list of accredited programs on their website, and, if you look in the left hand column you'll see a link to "standards" -- read the standards, as this will give you an idea of what to look for in a business program, regardless of whether or not it is accredited.\nhttp://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/accreditedmembers.asp\n\nGood luck!\nCarolyn Lawrence, www.admissionsadvice.com

Go to Classmates.com or Reunions.com and put info in under that "school".  It is a good place to find people who were in the military, colleges, even grade school and overseas schools.

Go Air Force...best food, quarters, and treatment...and usually you have plenty of time off to study courses through the Community College of the Air Force to get a step ahead of going to school after discharge.

Middlebury and Bennington are the best colleges in Vermont.\nBoth are highly selective, and applicants should be in the top tenth of their class, have outstanding SAT scores and GPAs, superb letters of recommendation, and special qualities or skills that set them apart from the crowd.\n\nUVM (University of Vermont) is also a great school, and while still selective in terms of admission, will admit students with slightly lower GPAs and SATs.\n\nBest wishes to your niece.

I would go into the army AFTER, not before.  The army is not like college and you can not change your mind or branch of service as easily as you can change colleges.  If you get your degree you will go into the army and THEN decide about officer training.  If you are serious about your major you would be a great asset to the army after you have been educated.     You are wrong about not qualifying for scholarships as a transfer student,  talk to the college you want to attend.  If you want Columbia, try for it.  The worst they can say is no, but you might be surprised.  Do not plan your future without absolute facts.

University of Florida has a great one.\n\nThe guy who writes all the Athletic Training text books that schools use teaches at the University of North Carolina.  They also have a good program.

Being from New England, I only know schools around here, but I'd suggest Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY), Bennington College (Bennington, VT), Simon's Rock College of Bard (Great Barrington, MA), or Emerson College (Boston, MA). I have friends at Bard and Emerson who love them. I think they all offer other areas of study, but I'm not sure if there are core requirements that would discourage you.

Any college that does not have a liberal based agenda. You are going to college, you should have the ability to look them up online in your task bar, yourself. You can search for one, so you will have some practice on how to research, as it will be required of you in your college classes. Please don't start out requesting other's to do your homework, and studies for you. It will not help you in the end. Luck to ya.

Military academies have many top students. You do not need to be in one to go to the air force but it would help.\nWhat he needs to do is study study study Be the top of his class and a sports. ROTC any where he going would be a must even if its not air force.

The United States Military Academy focuses on developing leaders of character to lead America's sons and daughters in the U.S. Army in times of peace and war. So, if you want to become a leader, then consider West Point for your college option.\n\nThe Academy's core curriculum offers a balance of arts and science courses, a choice of more than 40 majors, and the opportunity to become a leader who can help our Nation face the global challenges of the 21st century.\n\nA highly professional and experienced military and civilian faculty, small classes, and a 47-month challenging physical, military, and academic environment embracing the highest moral-ethical standards, gives you a chance to thrive and develop into a leader of character.\n\nYour reward for meeting the challenge is a Bachelor of Science degree, a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and the opportunity to lead our soldiers in the world's finest Army.
