VMI is a public, four–year, undergraduate military college of approximately 1,700 students, about half of whom accept commissions as officers in the armed forces upon graduation. Teaching excellence in a liberal arts setting is our first priority. Faculty members wear uniforms and adhere to military customs, but military experience among the faculty is neither required nor expected.
