Military College

A military college (also as a military academy, war college, or "officer school") is a college sponsored by a nation's military who's students learn, in addition to their chosen degree, the various academic fields of war and general military life. Typically, students are commissioned as officers of their armed forces following graduation.

Military colleges may be specialized in a single military branch (for example, a naval college may focus more on maritime warfare studies), or support all branches. They are generally lead by a military officer whom holds a title such as dean, superintendant, or chancellor. Rarely, a retired military officer may also take the position, especially if they are a noble.
