Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is one of the best leadership programs in the country and is part of your college curriculum. During classes, leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises, you will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and conduct missions as an Officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army ROTC, you will earn the bar of a Second Lieutenant and be commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard and become a leader for life.

If a reserve officer career is a better fit, you can select a Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) scholarship that upon completion of Army ROTC guarantees you will serve in the Army National Guard.

Army ROTC offers opportunities and challenges that really put you in the driver’s seat. By participating in the ROTC, you’ll develop life skills and possess the confidence, motivation, self-esteem and leadership skills to be successful in any career.

Participation in the college-level Army ROTC program takes just a few hours per week. So, it won’t interfere with other academic studies, sports or your social life. As a matter of fact, you’ll find the program is a great place to form lasting friendships.
