Marion Military Institute (MMI), located in the rural town of Marion in central Alabama approximately 75 miles west of Montgomery, is one of only five military junior colleges in the United States. The campus, established in 1842, features historic Greek Revival and Victorian architecture across its 148-acre grounds, including several buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As a two-year college with a military structure, MMI serves as a preparatory institution for students seeking appointment to U.S. service academies or pursuing military commissions through its Service Academy Program and Early Commissioning Program. The curriculum emphasizes leadership development, military science, and core academic subjects, with all students participating in the Corps of Cadets and residing in on-campus barracks under military-style discipline and supervision.
