Being a Cadet at the University of North Georgia is more than simply being a college student.
As a Cadet, you receive world-class leadership development and education from the first day you arrive until the day you graduate. You will train to become an effective leader in either the military, government, or civilian sector.
"I wouldn't take all the gold dug out of the hills of Dahlonega for the experiences and the quality of education I have seen my son receive during the past 3 years." - Faith Wheeler, North Georgia Cadets Parents Association Past President
Your leadership training will revolve around personal development, followership, and peer leadership. As a Cadet private in the Corps of Cadets, you will have very little leadership responsibility which enables you to focus on your studies. To succeed at UNG, you must forge a strong academic foundation during this crucial first year. Academic success, physical fitness, and an aptitude for leadership and responsibility will be the framework for future positions of leadership in the Corps of Cadets.
Your leadership education focuses on leading a small team of four to five freshmen Cadets as a team leader, or a squad of nine to ten Cadets as a squad leader. In these positions you will be completely responsible for the development, academic success, physical fitness, and well-being of each Cadet in your squad or team. Freshmen Cadets will rely on your knowledge, professionalism, and expertise to guide them through their freshman year.
Middle-management-level leadership education is the focus. You will become a Cadet platoon sergeant, company first sergeant, or sergeant major. You will be responsible for training, teaching and mentoring freshmen and sophomores on basic military skills and leadership. Juniors in select key leadership positions receive free food and housing, and a monthly stipend of over $600.
Seniors are the upper-level leaders in the Corps of Cadets. Seniors command platoons (30 Cadets), companies (75 Cadets), battalions (250 Cadets), or the brigade (800+ Cadets)! As a senior you plan all the activities for the Corps of Cadets and ensure that the University of North Georgia continues to offer the finest ROTC training in the nation. Seniors in select key leadership positions receive free food and housing, and a monthly stipend of over $600.
