    Why the Corps of Cadets at UNG?

    As the Military College of Georgia and a designated State Leadership Institution, we strive to produce leaders that can assess situations, make decisions, and lead those in their charge, regardless of the career path they choose to pursue (military or civilian).

    But don't just take our word for it. Check out some of those who have been in the Corps of Cadets at UNG and learn about their journey.
