The purpose of these programs is to provide an avenue for interested students to become reserve or regular officers in one of the United States military services, and the university regards this training as the foundation for possible careers in the military. The Air Force and the Navy require a period of active duty service upon completion of the ROTC program. Graduates from Army ROTC serve in either active Army, the Army Reserve, or the National Guard. All students enrolled in advanced ROTC programs receive financial allowances, which are described under Student Financial Aid .
Scholarships are also available for all services.
