The HCC Military Education Program is a leadership training and development program that prepares full-time, college-enrolled students for service opportunities as officers in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Space Force. 

HCC is the gateway to an outstanding academic experience and a tremendous opportunity—commissioning in the Armed Forces of the United States: commissioning in the Army/Navy/Air Force through the ROTC Consortiums in the Houston metropolitan region.

The Military Education Program Process, Plain and Simple!

First, talk to your Pathway Advisor. He/She will help you make one of the most important decisions in your lifetime.

Before you make that decision, ask yourself this: “Am I interested in being a part of something larger than myself?” “Do I want to contribute to a mission and organization that serves a greater purpose?”

Understand this: the military provides you an opportunity to be a part of a disciplined, structured organization working towards important national defense and security goals that protect our country.

If you follow this pathway, you’ll be playing a role in protecting your country and the freedoms that we all enjoy as citizens. You’ll have the chance to develop new skills, gain valuable, real-world experiences, and grow as a person in the context of the military’s leadership principles and values.

Ultimately, this pathway will give your life and work meaning and impact beyond just your own personal interests – and serving in the armed forces will be the way to achieve that.

So, are you interested in being a part of something bigger than yourself? Do you want the opportunity to not only serve but also give back to your community and family?

If the answer is yes, then discuss our HCC Military Education programs with your Pathway Advisor and start your own journey to your future.
