Texas A&M is a "senior military college," meaning it is one of the six primary ROTC campuses in the USA. The Citadel is another one. One of the requirements for this designation is that able-bodied students must undergo military training. So yeah, it's militarized. This is not a coincidence: it's policy.
It's hilarious that Texas A&M is this far down the list -- and it does not make the list look well constructed. Their definition of "militarized" seems to mean "people who went to this school work for the government now" and then they act surprised by how many schools close to the seat of government feed into government IT. Some of these schools, like the University of Phoenix and Grantham University, are distance-learning institutions catering to people who already have jobs; these people almost certainly worked for the government before enrolling. Grantham University in particular bends over backwards to attract military veteran students.
I'm not sure what the value of this article is.
