Virginia Military Institute believes that the measure of a college lies in the quality and performance of its graduates and their contributions to society. Throughout its storied history, VMI has produced leaders and individuals whose daily lives reflect the integrity, fairness, and appreciation for the value of hard work that is instilled at the Institute.
For the individual who wants an undergraduate experience more complete and transformative than an ordinary college or university can provide and more versatile in its applications than a military service academy affords, VMI offers a superb education.
And men and women will always need to lead lives of meaning and usefulness to others. The Virginia Military Institute produces leaders and individuals whose daily lives reflect the integrity, fairness, and appreciation for the value of hard work that is instilled at the Institute.
Our mission is alive in each cadet from the youngest rat to the first captain. Their pursuits - marked by words such as Honor, Character, and Wisdom - may seem romantic, even archaic, but they are, in fact, timeless and never needed more than now. As a premiere public liberal arts college, VMI provides qualified young men and women an undergraduate education of the highest quality conducted in, and facilitated by, the unique VMI system of military discipline.
The beauty of VMI is that opportunity is available to a lot of kids who grew up like me. In my view, more than ever, the Commonwealth and the nation needs a place where young men and women from all different backgrounds can prepare themselves, challenge themselves, educate themselves, to learn about who they are, and get ready to go out into the world and do great things.
That is why VMI exists. The experience at the Virginia Military Institute is like no other. It is designed to be very different for a reason. For those individuals willing to truly challenge themselves, VMI promises to mold them into leaders our nation values and needs. We have a rich history and incredible story to share, and we hope you will take the time to learn what makes VMI so unique, including the critical role of the VMI Rat Line in forming the bond between cadets in each VMI class.
Recently, our Institute has been called into question because of accusations of racism and sexual misconduct. VMI is a microcosm of society and not immune to the challenges of racism and sexual misconduct which occur on college campuses across the nation. But let us be clear — it is not our goal to be on par with statistics like these. Racism and sexual misconduct in any form will never be tolerated at VMI and we intend to be a model for the nation in addressing these issues.

The support was essential in February, after a cadet became pregnant. In their final weeks, the 13 seniors have spent most of their time preparing for post-graduate life as teachers, scientists, and for some, as officers. They will leave a newly integrated school as its first female class, and despite the problems, most say they're already excited about the reunion.
