With a belief in the proven validity of single sex education, SMI is an all-male institution. It takes its place with only three all-male colleges remaining in the United States, and it will be the only remaining all-male four-year military college.
The concept of an officer and a Southern gentleman will be the standard, not the exception. Honesty, integrity, courtesy, and respect for all men and women regardless of race, position, or economic standing will be taught and required. At SMI these values will be shared by all cadets without exception.
