North Georgia was awarded by the MacArthur Foundation as the top Army ROTC unit among all senior military colleges in 2009-2010.  We also received the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America's Outstanding ROTC Unit award  as the best Army ROTC program out of the 273 in the country! We were ranked #18 among the South's public regional universities in the 2012 edition of Best Colleges by the U.S. News Media Group, and we were listed in Kiplingers as one of the 100 best values in public colleges in the nation in 2011-2012. 

  

Who We Are

By far the least expensive senior military college, North Georgia Cadets live in new Cadet residence halls, study in a modern library/technology complex, work out in a state-of-the-art fitness center, and eat in a stunning new dining facility.  Most have Army ROTC scholarships, Georgia Military Scholarships, leadership scholarships and/or are soldiers in the Georgia Army National Guard or Army Reserve.

FROG Grad Jubilant GroupKnown for its innovation in international affairs and strategic foreign language education, North Georgia offers more than 50 bachelor’s degrees.  If you're seeking a job as an Army officer; or a job in federal service such as the FBI, CIA, State Department; or a career in international business, North Georgia is the senior military college for you. 

Our Corps of Cadets numbers 750, and is the centerpiece of the university’s 5,500 undergraduate students. Army ROTC Cadets receive a combination of a West Point-like experience along with a normal college education resulting in a well-rounded social and military experience.

We seek disciplined young men and women who want to be leaders.  We're not looking for young men and women who need discipline.  Applicants must have completed a college-preparatory curriculum in high school, have good grades and SAT or ACT scores, and be in good physical and medical condition.  The primary purpose of the Corps of Cadets is to produce officers for the United States Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve.
  

Nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Dahlonega, Georgia, is a quaint, historic, safe small town one hour north of Atlanta.  Dahlonega is the site of one of the first major gold rushes in the U.S. and is the home of the Mountain Phase of the Army’s Ranger School. The 120-acre main campus is readily recognized by the gold-covered steeple of the administration building, Price Memorial Hall, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a landmark of Dahlonega. Known widely for its historic town square surrounded by artisan galleries, workshops, retail stores, restaurants and bistros, the picturesque community is the home of the first major gold rush in the nation and a popular tourist attraction. With stunning waterfalls surrounded by lush forests, the region draws visitors who enjoy hiking, mountain climbing, rafting, canoeing, camping, mountain biking, fishing and hunting.

The military traditions and atmosphere at NGCSU are hard to quantify. Perhaps they were best described by Colonel (US Army, Retired) Dandridge Malone in his article, Officer Accessions and the Natural State, when he wrote, "They (referring to the North Georgia College cadets) just looked, acted and talked like soldiers. Against the contextual backdrop of the West Pointer and the ROTC student, these young men stood out in a striking way. When they did things Army, it was just, by God, 'natural'. Not forced, not awkward.natural."
