The Virginia Military Institute (VMI), located in Lexington, Virginia, is the oldest state military college in the United States and the nation's only classical state military college: all VMI students are cadets. VMI offers a spartan, physically demanding environment combined with strict military discipline. Cadets pursue bachelor's degrees in 14 disciplines in the fields of engineering, science, and liberal arts. For the past five years, VMI has been ranked America's best public liberal arts college by the magazine U.S. News and World Report. VMI was called the "West Point of the South" by both President Abraham Lincoln and General John J. Pershing.
