Military colleges. These are institutions that meet the following criteria:

(1) Grant baccalaureate degrees.
(2) Require a course in military training during the undergraduate course for all undergraduate students who are physically fit
(3) Organize cadets into a corps of cadets under military discipline.
(4) Require all members of the corps (including members enrolled in the ROTC) to be in uniform when on campus.
(5) Have as objectives the development of the student's character through military training and the regulation of conduct according to principles of military discipline.
(6) Meet military standards similar to those maintained at the service academies.

Since these two schools no longer require all students to take military training, why are they still Senor Military Colleges?

The rest of the regulation excuses females who don't wish to participate and any student excused by a Professor of Military Science.

You'll get much better responses on the military forum

Probably just grandfathered in

North Grorgia and Norwich would no longer qualify by the same standard.

Is there a professor of Military Science whose job it is to rubber-stamp tens of thousands of "excused" students? Are they excusing themselves when they don't check the "I want to join the Corps of Cadets" box? I know it sounds petty, but regulations can get pretty petty.

Yes. The Commandant of the Corps of Cadets. I read somewhere years ago that he issues a blanket excuse for everyone. I'll see if I can find it.

Update: Can't find it.

The acronym for the Professor of Naval Science was PNS. It still makes me laugh a little.

Here he is stamping the forms.

Do you think Listeater was physically fit?

Would you want to meet her on the battlefield?

Heck yes!!! Center mass is so big even a POG could put rounds on target.

Apologies for the ttt, I was just following the current VaTech/VCU baseball game and was reminded of the similarities between A&M and VaTech. (FYI: https://vt.edu/about/traditions.html)

Addressing OP's question, I suppose it depends on the unclear verbiage of item #2

---

As I read it, the undergrad course is required and the purpose of the course is for all undergrad fit students (there must be some physical aspect, I suppose).

But, the requirement doesn't explicitly/clearly state which students are required to take the course. IMO, the existence of the course is sufficient.
