Chinese Language and Cultural Programs Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a Senior Military College?

A: A Senior Military College (SMC) is one which offers military Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) programs  on campus and are specifically recognized under 10 USC 2111a(f).  Currently, there are six SMCs, and North Georgia College and State University is one of the six.  It offers baccalaureate degrees and military science courses including military training to Cadets.

Q: 什么是高等军事学院?

A: 高等军事学院(SMC)是在其校区提供后备军官训练团(ROTC)课程的大学院校，所设课程是美国10 USC 2111a(f)法规所认可的。目前全美有六所高等军事学院，北乔治亚州立大学即为其中之一。北乔治亚州立大学为军校生提供大学学士学位以及包括军事训练的军事科学课程。

Q: What are differences between the ROTC s in the SMCs and those in other colleges?

A: Unlike other colleges’ ROTC programs, Cadets at the SMCs are authorized to take the ROTC program all four years, but taking a commission upon graduation remains optional.  In addition, Cadets always have to wear military uniforms and reside in a Cadet dormitory.  Being an officer right after graduation doesn’t necessarily mean s/he is on active duty.  One of the crucial benefits at the SMCS is that all Cadets at the Senior Military Colleges are guaranteed active duty commissions when they graduate.

Q: 高等军事学院(SMCs)的后备军官训练团(ROTC)与其他大学的后备军官训练团有什么不同？

A: 高等军事学院与其他大学的后备军官陪训团(ROTC)课程有所不同。在高等军事学院，军校生大学四年均可选修ROTC的课程，但学生可自由选择是否于毕业时授衔为正式军官。此外，军校生须穿军服，且须住在军校生宿舍。毕业后立即成为军官并不一定代表立即成为现役军人。就读于高等军事学院关键的好处之一是所有的军校生于毕业时均保证可以授衔为现役军人。
