Comments Army ROTC Air Force ROTC Army ROTC The ROTC program provides University students with leadership, management, and tactical skills which enable transition to military duty. ROTC is not a major field of study. Rather, it is a program in which students pursue a baccalaureate degree and take leadership, management, and other military-oriented courses that qualify them to accept a commission as an officer in the U.S. Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard upon graduation. The program provides a general knowledge of the contemporary role of the Army in support of national objectives, and affords a practicum in leadership and management skills.
Credits earned in military science courses apply toward graduation requirements.
Both courses are administered at Marquette University. Credit hours earned at Marquette University are transferred to UWM student transcripts and count towards GPA and elective credit. The Army ROTC program offers scholarship opportunities to qualified students. Scholarships vary in length and pay a predetermined amount for tuition, books, and fees. Students also may be members of reserve or national guard units while taking the advanced course under the Simultaneous Member Program.
