Pre-commissioned officer education and training

Army ROTC is a nationally standardized program of pre-commissioned officer education and training which is offered at hundreds of colleges and universities throughout the United States.  Army ROTC serves as the primary source of commissioning for U.S. Army Officers.

 

Military Science courses complement all major areas of study by broadening the student’s basic education and helping to prepare students for positions of leadership in the Army and economy.  As students earn their academic degree, they also earn a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army.

 

Leadership development

The focus of the ROTC program is leadership development.  Students learn problem solving techniques, decision making skills, planning and organizing skills, interpersonal communications skills, professional ethics and responsibilities, and other management and leadership skills.  Leadership labs and Field Training Exercises (FTX) supplement classroom work with practical leadership training and experience.  Students receive developmental counseling routinely from their U.S. Army Officer and Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) instructors.
