Most scholarship recipients serve terms of four years on active duty but Reserve Component can be assured through the acceptance of a Reserve Forces Duty contract or scholarship. One of the most valuable benefits of military service is the camaraderie and mentoring associated with an ethical, caring and responsible organization. ROTC proves no exception as senior students take freshmen under their wings and help them with scholastic and personal challenges. The professional Active Duty Military Officers and Sergeants do the same. The students that join the program enjoy a very high retention rate because they like the challenge and enjoy the companionship of the program.
Veterans receive credit for all freshmen and sophomore classes.
Veterans are also given tremendous flexibility in taking classes. There is no military obligation for non-scholarship freshmen and sophomores. All uniforms, equipment, and textbooks are provided to students free of charge. Students who show interest in the program should be referred to the Military Science Department for personalized tailoring of courses.
