The two-year ROTC program is directed at college students who have not previously taken ROTC courses and have at least two academic years remaining. This program begins during the summer by attending ROTC summer leadership training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, for five weeks. The student receives placement credit for the first two years of ROTC and then proceeds into his or her third year. Along with the degree granted by your particular school or college, the Department of Military Science offers the student a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army, U.S. Army Reserve or the Army National Guard. In addition, those cadets graduating in the top 25 percent of their class for both academic and ROTC performance are awarded the title of Distinguished Military Graduate.
All graduates receive a military science minor.
