Students take Military Science Courses along with their desired area of academic study. These courses count towards graduation requirements as electives. Each semester ROTC students take one Military Science course along with a Lab course. In addition to these courses students participate in Physical Training three days a week. Below is a general overview of the course sequence for students.

Basic Courses

These courses are open to any student interested learning more about ROTC. No military obligation is incurred by enrollment in the basic course, except by Army ROTC Scholarship cadets.

First-year

Second Year

Advanced Courses

Enrollment in the advanced ROTC courses is only for students who have signed a service obligation which they will fulfill after graduation with the United States Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard. Advanced Course students must also attend the five-week Advanced Camp, usually attended during the summer between the junior and senior years. Army ROTC scholarships are available to qualified applicants (both those already enrolled in the ROTC program and those not yet enrolled) through annual competition.
