Words of Wisdom
Doing ROTC in college gave me financial assistance, friendship, and a purpose to my education.  I got to jump out of airplanes.  I got to train in Belgium for a month.  Next to marriage, ROTC was the most important thing I've ever done with my life.

Leadership And Excellence

What is ROTC?

Leadership That Lasts a Lifetime
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 (the ROTC Basic Course) without any obligation to join the Army. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but 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.

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 their grades up, athletes who are physically and mentally tough and leaders who have a great desire to learn to lead.
 
Your Commitment
Army ROTC students who receive an Army ROTC scholarship or enter the Army ROTC Advanced Course 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 U.S. Army Reserve or Army National Guard while pursuing a civilian career

Enrolling in the Army ROTC Basic Course does NOT involve a commitment of service to the Army unless you have received an Army ROTC Scholarship.

Nurse Program
If you're considering an undergraduate Nursing degree, enrolling in Army ROTC can enhance your leadership skills and critical thinking abilities while providing financial support to help make your professional goals a reality.

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.
