Leadership That Lasts A Lifetime
Who We’re Looking For
Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along
with your required college classes. It gives you the tools,
training, and experiences that will help you succeed in
any competitive environment. Along with great leadership
training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition.
Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate
your freshman and sophomore years without any obligation
to join the Army. You will have a normal college student
experience like everyone else on campus. However, when
you graduate, you will be commissioned as an Officer in the
Army. At that point, you will have a wide range of interest
areas you can specialize in called branches.
Those who succeed in the Army ROTC program are
students who excel and want something more out of the college
experience. Generally, these students are scholars who keep
their grades up, athletes who are physically strong, and leaders
who have a great desire to learn.
