Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States

• The Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States is a network of schools and colleges---including five community colleges---founded on military principles such as tradition, honor and service. According to the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States, students do not incur a military service commitment just for enrolling in one of the approved schools, but each college affiliated with the association offers programs that lead to a commission in the United States Armed Services. Students participating in commissioning programs do incur a military service commitment, but these programs aren't mandatory.
