The University of North Georgia, designated by the Department of the Army as a Senior Military College, is one of six senior military colleges in the nation. The Corps of Cadets, also known as the Boar’s Head Brigade, is founded upon principles of integrity and honor; its cadets live in an atmosphere highly conducive to the development of young men and women for leadership roles in their chosen professions. Since 1873, members of the Corps of Cadets have learned the principles of leadership by serving as cadet leaders in positions of increasing responsibility.
