Joining ROTC
ROTC is an incredible leadership experience that can compliment your academic pursuits in college. Through a combination of academic coursework and experiential learning you will gain the skills necessary to be an Officer in the US Army. Students in ROTC can study any major in school and still participate in clubs, organizations, fraternity/sorority life, etc.
The No Fear Battalion is comprised of a dedicated group of people who are here to help create a life changing experience for our cadets!
What do I have to do in ROTC?
- Take one academic course and one lab each semester
- Participate in weekly group physical training (don’t worry-we make it fun!)
- Complete a fitness assessment, The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT).
Additional ROTC benefits:
- Opportunity to participate in specialized training programs like Air Assault, Cadet Leader Training and Project GO, a language education, overseas study and cross cultural experience.
- Incredible support and mentorship from current students, professional staff and current Army officers.
- A “safe to fail” training environment where you learn through tangible experiences
- Scholarship Opportunities
“My favorite aspect of ROTC has been the community of people it has given me.”
