Department of Military Science

Introduction

The United States Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (AROTC) provides unrivaled leadership training for success in any career field. AROTC offers students the opportunity to study, develop, and demonstrate leadership and mission command. Those who successfully complete the program are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army. Army ROTC offers a variety of leadership experiences, academic challenges, and unique learning opportunities — unlike any other University program or department.

The Army ROTC Program

Four-Year Program

Students enrolled in the four-year program take courses during each semester. The first two years include the ROTC basic course and concentrate on leadership development, ethics and values, the profession of arms, and basic military skills. Starting the junior year, cadets enter the ROTC advanced course. The advanced course curriculum focuses on the study and application of leadership skills, mission command, advanced land navigation, and military history. Qualified cadets will have the opportunity to attend multiple iterations of Cadet Summer Training at Fort Knox, Kentucky. In their senior year, cadets submit accessions packets—including component (Active, Reserve, National Guard) and branch preferences—to compete for the opportunity to serve the nation as commissioned officers.

Two-Year Program

The two-year program provides an opportunity for students to meet the requirements for the advanced course program and potential commissioning as officers in the United States Army. To be eligible for consideration, a student must have previously served in the armed services or attended Cadet Initial Entry Training at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Interested Students

Students seeking to learn more about themselves, leadership, and the United States Army can take ARMY 101, ARMY 102, ARMY 201, and ARMY 202 without incurring a service obligation.

Advising

Cadets are required to complete an additional academic tracking form and receive guidance from their military science instructor to ensure military and graduation requirements are met.
