Earn a commission with your degree.

Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is a college elective that allows you to earn a commission straight out of college as a second lieutenant in the Active Duty Army, Army Reserves, or Army National Guard. ROTC consists of both academic classes and hands-on training. These mental and physical challenges will help you succeed in college and beyond.

Participation takes just a few hours per week, so it won’t interfere with other academic studies, sports or your social life. You’ll learn about leadership and teamwork, and have the opportunity to learn skills like mountaineering, rappelling and orienteering. It will be one of the best college classes you’ll ever take. 

Anyone can enroll into the Army ROTC freshmen and sophomore classes without any obligation to the join the military. All Army ROTC books and equipment are furnished at no cost to you.

If you decide to complete the program you will graduate with a four year degree and commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army with a starting salary of close to $45,000 for active duty.
