When you commit to The Citadel Experience, you stand out from the rest.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You commit to be challenged when you choose The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. As a member of the Corps of Cadets, you will join an extraordinary group of young individuals driven by a strong moral code and a desire to make a difference. You are strong, but when you join your classmates, you become part of a team. Together, you become resilient. You form lifelong bonds that define who you are. You learn to uphold standards and learn the value of accountability and integrity. And in this process, you realize that you are capable of more than you ever thought. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
