WHAT IS ARMY ROTC?

Leadership That Lasts a Lifetime!

Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along with your required college courses.  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 help pay for your college tuition.  Because ROTC is an elective, you can participate your freshmen and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army.  You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but once you graduate, you will be commissioned as an officer in the Army.  At that point you will have a wide range of interest areas, also known as branches, you can specialize in.

Who We're Looking For

Those who succeed in the Army ROTC program are students who excel and want something more out of their college experience.  Generally, these students are scholars who keep up their grades, athletes who are physically fit and leaders who have a great desire to make a difference.

Nurse Program

If you are considering an undergraduate Nursing degree, enrolling in Army ROTC will enhance your leadership skills and critical thinking abilities and may provide financial support to help you accomplish your professional goals.

Being a Nurse in the Army provides you with benefits not found in the civilian world.  As an Army Nurse and Officer, you will have the respect of your peers and coworkers as well as opportunities to train and serve in a variety of specialties.

Your Commitment

Army ROTC students who receive a scholarship or enter the Army ROTC Advance Course (Junior and Senior Year) must agree to complete a period of service with the Army.

• You can serve full-time in the Army for three years (four years for scholarship winners)
• Selected cadets may choose to serve part-time in the US Army Reserves or Army National Guard while pursuing a civilian career.

It's an experience that you can't get anywhere else and your leadership skills will be challenged everyday.
