Simply put, Army ROTC is one of the few singular college electives that can have a lasting effect on your future. Army ROTC has a long tradition of providing the Nation's top business and military leaders. Whether you choose to pursue an officer's commission in the Army or merely participate in the class, ROTC will help you refine your leadership skills and give you valuable hands-on experience.
