Universities and the Pentagon

[abbielives!]

where would I find information about a universities ties to the military?

Is it your university? Try asking the institutional fund-raising people. If you're a public university, this info should be easy to come by. If you're private like mine, well, good fucking luck. We still don't know what the hell is going on here.

most obvious ties would be the ROTC programs (if any). I know my school has an army ROTC program, and I know a couple of people in it. Not bad people, just not making the best choice.

Are you asking about Military Academies and the Military University System?

* United States Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colorado
* United States Coast Guard Academy, New London, Connecticut
* United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, New York
* Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

State-Sponsored Military Academy:

In addition, several institutions which were at the time of their founding military colleges, maintain both a corps of cadets and a civilian student body. These include:

* Norwich University Corps of Cadets. Norwich University, Northfield, Vermont
* Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, Texas A&M, College Station, Texas
* The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina
* Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia
* North Georgia College and State University, Dahlonega, Georgia (chartered as a military college, but has had a corps and a civilian student body from its inception)

If you include Virginia Military Institute, these institutions create the six Senior Military Colleges.

Five institutions are considered Military Junior Colleges. These five schools participate in the Army's two-year Early Commissioning Program (ECP), an Army Reserve Officers Training Corps program, where qualified students can earn a commission as a Second Lieutenant after only two years of college. The five Military Junior Colleges are:

* Wentworth Military Academy and College, Lexington, Missouri
* Valley Forge Military Academy and College, Wayne, Pennsylvania
* New Mexico Military Institute, Roswell, New Mexico
* Marion Military Institute, Marion, Alabama
* Georgia Military College, Milledgeville, Georgia

There are also postgraduate and graduate schools. Also, that is not a complete list.

yes it is public, what is institutional fund-raising?
I don't want to focus on the ROTC(except for pointing out other options), i was thinking more about military research
