Each year, about 15 cadets complete the Army ROTC program and earn presidential appointments as Army officers. Getting into Army ROTC is as easy as registering for a course. Veterans or students in the Reserve or National Guard may get placement credit for the basic courses. Army ROTC involves one Military Science course and a weekly leadership lab on campus each semester. Cadets put their leadership studies into action by organizing and conducting the training during labs and during four challenging field training exercises each school year.
Cadets are also involved in leading the physical conditioning.
Between their junior and senior years, cadets attend a six-week summer leadership camp. ROTC students also have opportunities for special military training such as Airborne, Air Assault, Troop Leadership, and Northern Warfare. On campus extracurricular activities include intramural sports, a Ranger team, color guard, and drill team. Cadet social activities include a formal Military Ball and Dining-In, plus picnics and special trips. Army ROTC offers several opportunities for you to compete for merit scholarships for two, three, or four-year periods.
