Train to Lead!...We Commission!

Army ROTC is an elective program that serves in conjunction with your existing degree program. You receive college credit for your ROTC classes and some courses may be used to meet degree requirements for your college major. ROTC classes will teach you things like leadership and management, values & ethics, military skills, effective communication, and adventure training.

ROTC is, at its essence, an Army officer commissioning program; however, not all students who take our classes go on to serve in the Army. We encourage anyone interested in the armed forces or a career in the Army to enroll in our basic level courses. These courses do not have any prerequisites or commitments and are designed to teach basic Army fundamentals. Only scholarship students or students that advance to our upper level courses incur any service obligation. 

You can also receive your Commission as a Second Lieutenant (2LT) in the Reserve Component (RC) of the Army. This includes the Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserves.

Basic Course (MSL I & II) & Advanced Course (MSL III & IV)

While there are a number of paths that ultimately lead to commissioning as a second lieutenant in the Army, the regular progression is through both the Basic Course (Freshman & Sophomore year), consisting of four semester courses, and the Advance Course (Junior & Senior year), also consisting of four semester courses.

Leader's Training Course (LTC)

Students that have at least two years of college remaining (Sophomores) have the opportunity to attend the Leader’s Training Course held at Fort Knox, Kentucky during the summer.  This motivating and challenging 28-day course prepares students to join the ROTC advanced course and complete their final two years of ROTC on campus.  For more information on this option, please contact us either by e-mail, by phone (1-800-777-ARMY), or by visiting us in person.

After Graduation

Being an Officer in the U.S. Army means you’re a leader, a counselor, a strategist, and a motivator.  It's similar to being a vital manager in a corporation.  As an Officer, you will lead other Soldiers in all situations and adjust in environments that are always changing.  They are driven to achieve success with their team on every mission.  "TRAIN TO LEAD!"
