Military Science (Army ROTC)

Leaders are grown here.

Through classroom instruction, hands-on learning, and field exercises our cadets develop critical decision-making skills, confidence, and connections that will prepare them for roles as commissioned officers or success in civilian careers.


What can students expect to learn by taking ROTC?

  • Quite simply, leadership and management skills needed to become a U.S. Army officer or have a successful civilian career.

How is ROTC different from regular college management courses?

  • Students in ROTC learn through a unique program that involves both classroom and "live" situations. For instance, an ROTC cadet might be found leading classmates through adventure training, down a river in a raft or up a mountain wall.

How do students benefit from Army ROTC?

  • 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.

Its not just the Army stuff you are learning. You’re learning how to be a good person in general.
