Please contact us for exact dates of application deadlines. There is a Basic Camp offered for all students who wish to join ROTC after their sophomore year. The camp is six weeks long during the summer and you will be paid. There is no military commitment after graduating the camp, although you have to make that decision when you return to school for the fall semester. In college and after graduation, cadets find that the training and experience that they have received are assets - whether pursuing an Army or civilian career.
Employers place high regard on the management and leadership skills that ROTC instructors stress.
Plus, ROTC looks great on a resume. When cadets complete the ROTC course, upon graduation, they become commissioned officers in the U.S. Army. A contracted cadet is a student that has made a commitment to serve in the military upon graduation. They are no different then any other student on campus, however they do have a guaranteed job the day they graduate. Once you hit junior status you are eligible for the program.
