Through a partnership with Florida State University in the early 1990s, Thomas College began offering a cross-enrollment ROTC program. He was able to earn his bachelor's degree from Thomas College and be commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Air Defense Artillery from Florida State University in 1996.
