Military junior college
A military junior college (MJC) is a military-style junior college in the United States and one of the three major categories of the Army ROTC schools[1][2] that allows cadets to become commissioned officers in the U.S. Army reserve components in two years, instead of the usual four, through the Early Commissioning Program (ECP). They also offer Service Academy preparatory programs that allows qualified students to earn an appointment to the U.S. Service Academies upon their successful completion of this demanding one-year program at MJC.[3][4][5]
