Norwich University
Norwich University, founded in 1819, is the oldest private military college in the United States and is considered the birthplace of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program, a military officer training model later adopted broadly across American colleges and universities nationally. Students can choose between the university's Corps of Cadets, a full military training program alongside academic coursework, or a civilian student track pursuing the same academic degrees without the military training component, giving Norwich a dual-track structure distinct from the federal service academies' fully mandatory military model. The university's engineering and criminal justice programs have built solid reputations, and Norwich's continued military heritage, combined with its civilian degree track option, has made it a distinctive hybrid institution within the landscape of American senior military colleges. The university's founding role in establishing the ROTC training model, combined with its unusual dual military-civilian student structure, has made Norwich one of the most historically significant and institutionally distinctive military-affiliated colleges in the country.
VS
Middlebury College
Middlebury College, founded in 1800, is consistently ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in the country, and its foreign language programs are widely regarded as among the very best of any American college, anchored by the Middlebury Language Schools, an intensive immersion summer program requiring students to speak only their target language for the program's entire duration. The college's Bread Loaf School of English and its associated writers' conference, one of the oldest and most prestigious literary conferences in the country, have drawn major American writers to the Vermont campus for summer programming for nearly a century. Middlebury's rural Vermont setting and its ski team's strong competitive tradition, along with the college's proximity to significant skiing terrain, have made winter sports a significant part of campus culture, similar to several other elite New England liberal arts colleges in mountainous settings. The college's combination of genuinely elite liberal arts academics, its nationally leading foreign language immersion programs, and its historic literary conference tradition has made Middlebury one of the most distinctive top liberal arts colleges in the country.
